At this point, I would schedule a vet visit before anything else. There are a few things to change with her current care, but if she is weak and not using her back-half, then a vet is absolutely necessary (in my opinion).
Her D3 should be given every two weeks. Too much D3 can cause...

Hey all,
After two trips to the vets, some eye ointment (delt with an eye infection) and getting scolded for letting my crickets run lose in the cage and that my heat wasn't hot enough, the vet told me to get the mercury vapor bulb to increase my heat and that I should be taking him outside...

handling: Ive had to handle him at least twice daily to give eye drops, hand feed him, sometimes clean off messy poop.
feeding: reptaboost and sometimes throw in a couple waxworms when Ive got his mouth open...
This vet may be pretty close to you. Sometime you have to drive a ways to a chameleon vet. My vet is over two hours.

I was checking my chameleon collection and I noticed my female Jackson's has developed some mouth rot and it's starting to look bad. I won't be able to get her to a vet until this coming weekend but I am pretty comfortable treating most reptile health problems at home if possible. My question...
Well thanks for the understanding. It's reassuring to know that people are aware of how pet forums can get (or forums in general for that matter), and are willing to talk about it.
Anyhow, I'll go ahead and post my form now. But before I do I just want to say that I currently am recovering...
Hi everyone. Thanks for the late night responses. I had tried to locate a vet at this time of night and a Sunday, but apparently up here in the San Francisco bayarea there are not many reptile specialized vets let alone emergency vets. He is resting peacefully at the moment but hanging uside...
I really hope she doesn't die. I just found a few reptile vets in the bayarea that are about 45 mins away so I will be taking her soon for sure. I found a few posts on different forums about 2 chameleons with the same thing as Bettie, the only reply said it could be an absess or a tumor.
Thank you for the kind words. He still seems to enjoy life, rock hard grip and he climbs all around his cage and likes to even walk around and explore the room. i wish there was more for me to do but i'm at a loss.
My vet said she saw abnormal cells but she would need to get it double checked...
some suggestions pt 2.
pt2
Humidity - 60-70 60 imo, if accurate, this is an excellent range, how do you measure your humidity? that being said, imo, daytime hydration is far more important than humidity.
Plants - fake plants and real imo, all that is required is one large $15 schleffera that...
Howdy Alex,
You've probably already read posts where its been discussed that closure of a single eye is more often a symptom some other non-eye related health issue rather than an eye infection. But as Laurie said, using a simple squirt bottle of saline style eye wash (saline contact cleaner...
I am not 100% sure on how to. From what i have read you put a plant in the shower and face the shower head away from him so it sprays the wall but I dont know how warm or cool it should be and how long to put him in there for. I see him drinking all the time until today. Today is when I...
