So I am freaking out because I was trying to give my Jax a shot of antibiotic that the vet perscribed by injecting it underneath the skin on his upper back, and he moved around and the needle went in more straight than at an angle. The needle itself is about a half inch long, but it went in...

Hello all,
My Jacksons was recently diagnosed with parasites and I am too give him medicine by mouth for the next two weeks (off and on). I know giving him the meds stresses him out, but in the little time I take to give them, is that enough to cause damage down the road?
So the main...
So for about a little under a week my Steve hasn't been eating a lot. I also noticed that he has had a bigger accumulation of saliva in his mouth. Today I brought him to the vet, and she said that he has a mouth infection. She prescribed me Baytril and sent me on my way.
So my questions are...
So earlier today I was observing my Jackson, and out of no where he sort of did this thing where he open his mouth really wide and stuck his tongue out about an inch from his mouth. After that though he went back to doing normal chameleon stuff. Also, he hasn't been eating as much lately, today...
I just got a Reptisun 5.0, and either that or the weather warming up causes the cage to be 84 Degrees Basking, 80 Degrees gradient (which I need to lower). If I were to have the heat lamp on it would be 90+.
So I noticed yesterday that my Jacksons urate had a pink tinge to it. I tried doing some research on it but nothing really came up.
Now today it is a little worse, so I have come to you guys for a little insight. He also hasn't been eating as much.
So every now and then my jacksons decides its a good idea to do a little bungee jumping without the rope. From time to time I hear a *plunk*, lo and behold he is at the bottom! Anyways, I was just wondering if this hurts them? My biggest concern is him hitting an eye or getting a horn caught in...
So I took into consideration what I was told needs to be done for my cage, and now I think I got it all squared away. Please take a look at what I have, and feel free to give me any and all suggestions!
So I purchased my Jacksons chameleon about two weeks ago, and when I bought him he looked like he was in the middle of shedding.
Well now its two weeks later and he still has small patches of skin on his body all the way to his tail, and his head is still covered with dead skin except for...
Hello! I am posting today just to get a little advice on the setup I have, whether or not there is something more I could do or change.
So lets get to it.
My cage is 30x18x23, and is made of PVC piping, steel mesh (more like chicken wire) and the bottom is made of a plastic tote. I have...
