How do you guys transport your chameleon to the vet especially now with the cold weather?

Do you have a place to go where you could set up the cages? Reptibreeze cages break down and you could transport them that way if you need them at your destination. For a short drive like vet visits and such chams can be transported in a small carrier or box, or pop up laundry hampers are a...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Female Panther Chameleon Unsure of exact age but for consistancy we dubbed her birthday 1/1/22 (9-10 months old) Handling - I haven't been able to take her out yet. I have been putting my hand in the cage to get her used to it and she does not run from me, but...

Well, imho she is now your chameleon. Obviously the breeder showed no interest in reclaiming her and little interest in getting her prompt life-saving care. So, breeder can reimburse you for all you spend for medical care of give you the cham.

I’m a new chameleon parent with a year old yellow crested Jackson’s chameleon. I’ve had him for about a week or so and I want to get him a fecal and an overall exam to make sure he doesn’t have parasites and is healthy but I haven’t even attempted to handle him yet since he’s so new. The only...

Hey All, I have about $2000 worth of top line chameleon gear I'm looking to sell for $500 or best offer. You'll have to come pick everything up, and you'll likely need a truck. Including but not limited to: -Two fully setup 4x2x2 dragon strand enclosures. They are fully loaded with vines and...

Hello! Unfortunately my little guy, Percy, has to go to the vet tomorrow. This is his first ever vet visit. I won't be allowed in and they will take him from me in the parking lot. I was just wondering if anyone has had to make a vet visit during this time and has any suggestions, as I'm a...

Don’t forget I have a good friend near by that can help you with transportation to the vet and back if you need it. Dr. Ken Harkewicz in Berkeley is an awesome chameleon vet.

That wasn't a washcloth; that was a security blanket! ?

I will definitely put more plants in there I'm going to put at least two more pathos, unless you recommend something else. I just don't want to overcrowd and cause any issues with the other plants in there. I guess it depends, where are you putting the pothos? I would for sure get more foliage...

Not my idea...was suggested to me last year when a hurricane was headed towards me.

There is no vet that deals with chameleons in my area and I have limited Transportation even within my own City and I'm flat broke and I didn't know none of this before or I would have bought the correct soils or substrates I mean ahead of time for when this happens I don't know what to do now

Soooo an update to this story! I brought Rico to his normal vet, since he was continuing to not use his tail at all. He was having increased difficulty stay in branches and would have near falls , where I would have to physically intervene... within five minutes of the exam the vet stayed that...

I have never heard of heating them in transport except during winter... As long as temps are above 60 he should be just fine without additional heat. Then there is the opposite extreme. If your temps are over 80 they can get too hot. So air conditioning on in the car is a good idea. I transport...

My little blue boy is keeping me up at night a lot as of late :( About two or so weeks ago, Bastion‘s health took a nose dive. He was hardly moving and had both eyes shut. Thought for sure I was going to lose him. Called up the exotic vet I used for Beau and had planned on taking Bastion to...

Try to find a vet with lots of reputable and good chameleon experience, they will be a life-saver!

I guess I was thinking more of something to hold him in until we're able to get to the vet. He has MBD and I'm worried about him falling/getting hurt in his tall viv because he's not as strong. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong term..

This is what I use to transport my guys to the vets. For a week, I’d add more vines and a fake plant... but this works great for transporting them and its SO much less stressful then the box. I cover them once positioned so they dont shift. Half my guys will go to sleep almost immediately...

You can also just get a pop-up mesh laundry hamper, and zip tie a bendy-vine in it for the cham to grab. That's what I use to transport mine for vet visits, and we have to drive 4 hours each way. Put the hamper in the footwell of the car so they can't look outside, but they will be just fine...

Thank you! I was figuring someone would say that about the heat - the receptionist told me this, I think when she heard it was a reptile of any sort. Great ideas, thank you!
