He had a negative parasite test, but the vet gave him barium and panacur (sorry for the misspelling) since he wasn’t eating much. Ugh! I hate when vets treat blindly when they have no results. I can understand the panacur, but what was the barium for? Did they take x rays or something? The...

A couple questions: What is bsfl? Black Soilder Fly Larve I have three sensors in my enclosure right now, what is considered the basking area? The basking area is the warmest spot in your enclousre right under your heat lamp. You'll want to make sure that it gets no hotter than 80 degrees...

Since I tend to talk a lot and there seems to be a good amount of info I feel you need, I’m breaking this into two parts. Your Chameleon - Panther Chameleon, named Leone, he is a nosy faly, almost 2 years old How long have you had him? Handling - Never except for cleaning and inspecting him...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Panther chameleon, unknown gender, approx 2 months old Handling - once every 2-3 days Feeding - unlimited supply of 1/8" crickets. Gut loaded with carrot and Repashy's bug burger. Dusted in Repashy's calcium without D3 daily, multi vitamin twice a month and...

Thanks so much for the review and advice. Questions: how long of misting in the daytime sessions? 3 minutes? 2? Any advice on getting the ambient temp higher aside from turning the heat on? Basement stays around 65 normally without any intervention. I’m going to send a pic of my probe placement...

I tend to talk a lot, so am breaking this into two sections. Your Chameleon - Veiled, Male, 8-9 months. Since Jan. 1st So he was exceptionally young when you got him. Most breeders won’t send off their babies until at least 3-4 months old. A lot can happen for no reason and babies are fragile...

Thank you!! I really appreciate all the responses. I can go back to the mister twice a day. Yes I clean his cup daily or rotate it daily with a clean one. When I hand clean it I use a splash of cleaning vinegar and rinse aggressively with water to make sure there is none left. Is cleaning...

Yeah, I mean banded crickets suffice. I also don’t mind them living in my garage and around the outside of the house. I’m not annoyed at the sound of chirping crickets- they’re not loud anyhow. And I think I do like breeding less common feeders. Not sure why. I keep all kinds of insects. Not all...

Thank you! See my answers below in bold Your Chameleon - veiled chameleon, female, 1yo. Been in my care since mid July. Great, if she is a year she is an adult, we can switch her to 'the diet', which will help with producing too many eggs. Handling - Rarely. When I do it’s only when I open...

Just fyi - usually we would ask you to start your own thread, but since you already put all of this here…. My feedback will be in bold. Immediate or serious changes needed will be in red. Your Chameleon - panther, male, about 6-7 months. I’ve had him 2 weeks . He has shed once since getting...

Hi and welcome. I’m so sorry that you’re chameleon and you are going through this terrible experience. I do see some things, but it sounds like it is too late for this poor little guy. 😞 First I want you to know that I’m not being mean or judge mental - just honest and to the point. Generally...

Please see my responses below in bold: Your Chameleon – I have a newly purchased female Veiled Chameleon. I estimate her age at 6-8 weeks. She’s about 3” long not including tail. She arrived overnight UPS two days ago. Where did you get her from, if you don't mind my asking Handling – I’ve...

I have not tried any worms…..I got hornworms but they were all too big. I can order some other kinds….the roaches I got were the small ones, not nymphs. I am positive the crickets are small enough….I also put some of the BSFL too. Today I put two roaches, two of those and like 10 crickets in...

Thanks for the resources and answers. I got all my humidity,misting schedules and lighting strengths from the YouTube channel chameleon academy followed everything but now that I’m thinking about it the chameleon was a lot bigger in size and they said if top is screen go 10.0 since mesh absorbs...

Veiled chameleon, probably about 6-7 weeks old, I believe he’s male (small bulge and the SLIGHTEST spurs on back feet, honestly can’t tell for sure yet), been in my care for a little over 3 weeks. I have never handles him. I feed him crickets and dubias, however much he’ll eat, anywhere from 3-8...

Oh jeeze, I’d never even heard of entamoeba Invaden prior to today. Do you have any idea where your boy might have picked it up from? I’m dropping a fecal sample off at a vet tomorrow morning. A vet friend was kind enough to give me 3 CC’s of ponazuril to hold onto just in case it IS coccidia...

Oh my gosh, thank you SO much for all your advice! I’m gonna get the feeder and go find some smaller crickets. Also random but I’m also in the Missouri/Kansas area haha. And thanks for telling me about the tong feeding issue, I had absolutely no idea that was a thing.

Me again :). I'll happily answer your questions. See below in bold: Thank you @Gloriawood, sorry for the late replay. Luna is currently in a 35x35x60 tank, she has one uva+uvb bulb. No thermostat. And bark type subtract. She does have a little water fountain. (I'll attach picture). I would...

Sorry for the barrage of questions - trying to gauge. :) Great to hear there's little traffic. If the crickets are too big that's almost certainly the problem. Babies are often free-range fed with small crickets (and before that, fruit flies) so he's probably used to that. Definitely pick up...

Aww…he’s just a teeny tiny little guy. 🥰 Species - Veiled Chameleon, male. In my care for 6 days now.  Handling - Have not handled him as yet only opening the enclosure during feeding time. Eventually you’ll want to work on building trust with him. Here’s a great blog on how that’s done...
