Hiya! Kiwi is going back to the vets on Thursday…. The face rubbing is often followed by the weird bulgy eye cleaning thing they do, which leads me to think the rubbing might be caused by an eye issue, and nothing to do with the growth under his jaw. I haven’t had an eye issues with my...

Firstly, @kinyonga @MissSkittles @Carlton thank you so much! It always amazes me how people are willing to take the time out of their busy lives to help. The abscess information is really interesting, agree 10 days of antibiotics would stand no chance without clearing out the cheese. I asked...

Hello! My little kiwi is showing signs of illness that the vet can’t work out… Problem: About 6 weeks ago he started rubbing the right side of his face. This includes the eye but it really is the whole side of his face he rubs. Sometimes he then does that weird eye bulge cleaning thing. Some...

And here's some photos of him taken today, both sides and casque - sorry he is hanging upside down, he's a rascal when the phone is around! :ROFLMAO:

Hello Cham owners! I hope everyone has had a nice weekend. My much loved male panther has started missing his food over the past couple of months. Problem: His tongue seems to extend and retract properly in a muscular sense, it just misses the bug by about 1-2cm. He climbs closer to the...

Hello! @kinyonga @MissSkittles @Beman I hope you guys are all well and happy new year! :) Little kiwi’s skin saga is still ongoing, I thought I would update the forum incase it helps similar situations etc The vet did a surgical biopsy of the discoloured skin on his side, all tests showed no...

Hello and happy weekend! @kinyonga @MissSkittles Unfortunately the skin issue on my little kiwi doesn’t seem to be getting better, although I know chameleons heal in strange ways so I would HUGELY appreciate your advice on next steps. To note: he is eating / drinking / pooping as normal, no...

Hello lovely Cham owners, Kiwi is no closer to a diagnosis, he has been seen by an exotic vet (with Cham experience) but they are undecided and therefore kiwi hasn’t been given any treatment so far. It is day 8 since the marking appeared, it seems to be more white & defined but it is...

Thank you both! @kinyonga @MissSkittles He is cup fed but I don’t give him crickets, he has dubia & silkworms as his staple bugs. If it is a burn, will it heal on its on own or is medication needed? The other unusual thing he has is no pigment on the inside of his front two hands. It’s...

Hello! I hope everyone is having a great weekend :) @MissSkittles @Sonny13 @kinyonga It’s day 4 since the markings on kiwi have appeared, I don’t think they have gotten worse but they haven’t gotten any better... The white maybe seems more pronounced but hard to say given he’s always...

Thank you, I really appreciate your time & expertise! Wow I didn’t know chams could bruise, that’s so interesting. It could be a bruise as his missing tail does make him quite clumsy. I will keep a close eye on it, fingers crossed…

Ah thank you! I think he is too but he has a sad back story… A really awful keeper advertised him on GumTree as ‘free’ ‘must go today’ because he had lost half his tail and had multiple bite wounds. He was being kept in a small enclosure with over 10 other juveniles who had been bulling him...

Hi guys, Hope everyone has had a good week! My 2 year old panther has developed a strange patch on one area of his body - I would describe it as both white & dark. Please see photos attached of: - his healthy side for comparison (right side) - left side with strange markings x 2 - close up...

Thank you Kinyonga, that’s the kind of explanation I was trying to find :) (My dad uses a Britta for his fancy coffee machine, he’s going to be devasted when I forward this info :ROFLMAO:)

Hi Beman! Thank you as always for being so helpful, you are the Cham oracle! :) Great to know how often you replace the filter. I have researched RO systems but read that they produce a lot of waste water so they can be expensive to run & slow to produce without good tap pressure? I don’t...

Hello fellow Cham owners, Happy weekend! I am debating which method to use to purify my MistKing water and would really appreciate some advice :) I know RO water is generally the purist to use but I’ve read some owners use a domestic water filter jug like this -...

Hi fellow Cham owners! I hope everyone is having a good week so far :) Just a quick one, I’ve been trying to find somewhere in the uk that sells RO water online / has a delivery service. Anyone know a place? Annoyingly I rent so I can’t install a tap fixture to make my own water and I no...

Okay @Beman your prediction was correct: the silicone works as an adhesive but it’s not strong enough to hold the tension the vinyl needs when stretched in the frame. I give up!! I’m going to try solid PVC panels instead. Is there a specific type of PVC/acrylic sheeting that is enclosure...

IGNORE ABOVE - just checked the epoxy resin packet and it says toxic to marine life, so that’s a no go! I’m going to try the marine vinyl with one more product then call it quits and switch to solid pvc sheets. Do you know if the following would be safe / strong bonding? - PVC pipe cement...

Hi @Beman :) Yes I’ve got marine grade vinyl pvc, as you predict it’s proving really difficult to get an adhesive that works. Epoxy glue sort of sticks BUT it has such a potent smell I’m worried about using it. Do you know if it’s safe to use inside an enclosure? (After it has cured/gassed...
