Cage Info: Cage Type - 18x18x36 Screen Enclosure, since he cannot see at all I have it turned on its side but can flip it to be vertical if it needs to be. Only set it up this way due to my concern of him falling, he has evidence of MBD (curved crest) so don't want him to fall and break...

You want to find a vet that actually knows reptiles... They will do blood work to check uric acid levels. But since he is not used to handling this will be really important to have a vet that is experienced. IF the tech does not have experience do not let them handle the cham. So you need a box...

Hi guys, my juvenile female veiled chameleon is going into the vet this Thursday for a checkup to make sure she’s healthy. What is the best way to transport her to the vet to make sure she doesn’t get overly stressed out? I have an XL critter keeper that I was planning on using with a blanket...

Someone just alerted me to this on Facebook and I’m wondering if anyone knows about it. Not worried for my old lazy cats…they aren’t into playing in boxes. However, I do repurpose some Amazon boxes to transport my chameleons to the vet. Depending on which vet we go to, they can be in the box for...

I’m still working on treating his eye, we were given antibiotics drops which didn’t help snd he ended up really poorly (sleepy looking and dark green). The vet gave him some intravenous antibiotics and which saved him but his eye is still a bit puffy, not as bad as it was at it was. He’s been on...

I guess it is possible she could see her reflection in the shower curtain….it is clear. I don’t think so though. I was thinking maybe she ate a gnat and it went down the wrong hole? lol just playing but today, after that she stayed on her branch for a while and then became curious about the...

For whom is curious! I got another bar light fixture, Dubai roaches, supplement with d3, bugburger gutload, and also got all ingredients for a natural gutload and made it! Just got chams in boxes for transportation to the vets in 30 mins. Extremely nervous/excited.

Her arm was that way shen Her arm was that way when I brought her in 3 weeks ago. She does lay on her belly a lot lately and doesn’t move too much any more. This has me very worried. She was so active before. She does shoot her tongue when she eats and even when she wants droplets of water if...

Sounds like a really nice container! Just be careful when adding lights or humidity to the Tupperware container. Even with ventilation, you could potentially cook your chameleon. If you are transporting to the vet, you won't need uvb, heat, or added humidity. The conditions of a regular...

No I haven’t tested her for parasites. I just got her. I figured I would give her a bit to settle before transporting her to a vet. But if I have to I will. I’m not sure if she was tested for parasites before hand before me

So, next week Neville is going for his first visit to the vets for a general check up since I want to take him every 6 months or so to make sure he’s doing well. But I’m going to have to go by car. What’s the best way to transport him in the car? What kind of container? Does it need padding or...

You could also contact the vet ahead of time to see if they will email you their questionairre sheets to complete ahead of time. Also, I was just at Dr. Bruce's in late October and at that time they were only allowing 1 person in at a time so make sure that whatever you are bringing you cham...

Thank you @Beman for the blog, and thanks @MissSkittles for the detailed response! It sounds like yes, I am feeding him way too much. It's time to bring him in to a vet anyway to check for parasites since he's acclimated a bit to his new home. It seems as if he's not gained any weight and was...

I’m so excited. All of my little reptile friends officially have a vet, Chams and my little beardie ❤️. After all the sick/dying/dead Cham posts lately I been kiiiiiiinda freaking out about keeping my crew healthy and strong. They are all scheduled with check-ups and fecals. If you are in the...

This will also be the container he lives in for a bit so I can monitor his progress since I’m not 100% sure his current condition at the moment. So he won’t have a trash bag around him when he’s home but when transporting yes he will. Think of it as a nursery bin or quarantine bin. It’ll be easy...

What are some of your methods used for transporting cranky chams for vet visits?? Type of enclosures used and techniques for getting them in and out.

My cham has been having on and off eye issues but overall I think she's getting worse. Very frustrating as I feel like I'm kind of at my wit's end here. Took the forum's advice and took her to a vet - the vet told me there's nothing wrong with her, might be stress, etc. But I've had her for...

Shoe box with air holes, and a stick or 2 running through it. Then he just sleeps on the stick.

Agree with the female assessment for that age looking like that. Is he going to the vet for a specific reason (he is asleep with the lights on in the pic)? Use a branch to get him out of his enclosure and a shoebox with a secure branch in it for transport. It is easy and not very stressful, as...

Are you talking about making your own to transport your cham to and from the vet and such?
