For anyone that may stumble across this post five years later... I used a minimal strength Cortisone cream on my buddy applied twice daily via q-tip. The vet I took him to suggested this under the pretense that this was a fungal infection.

I have to give my cham an anti-parasitic, but I cant seem to open his mouth. Any suggestions?

I figured it was probably a fungal infection. I just don't see how. His cage dries out between mistings, I am positive. I'll take him to the vet and see what they say. Unless there are any other suggestions?

Any ideas on what this spot may be? I've never seen it before. I plan on taking him (Muhammad) to the vet this week to get it checked, but it's always nice to see what others think. -Anthony

Good advice. I'll keep at it and come back if his condition starts to degrade. Thanks for the encouragement!

He is actually drinking right now as I type this. I thought the same thing about his urates. I cleaned his cage just now so I can easily see what is going on with his digestion.

Yeah, I tried feeding him superworms. I am gonna get some waxworms this weekend though, maybe that will entice him. Any other suggestions? -Anthony

Hey, my Veiled of about 1.5 yrs has been running around its cage for a while now; about two weeks. He was eating healthily for the two weeks until about three days ago when he stopped. Now the only thing he seems interested in when I open the cage door is trying to escape. He literally will grab...

Thanks for the info.

Thanks. Can anyone who reads this give me an estimate on when panthers colors move in?

Just got my little guy in the mail today. The first picture is of his sire.

I suppose I can buy him then with no qualms. Like I said before I am gonna take him to the vet as soon as I get him for a fecal exam among other things. Thanks for your input, -Anthony P.s I'll post pics of the sire later tonight when the transaction is finished. He is amazing.

Well I don't really have pictures of his current cage. I can tell you I take very good care of my animals so once he gets to me his condition will only get better. I jut finished nursing an adopted 1 yr old veiled back from MBD and an eye infection so I don't really want another sick cham. I'll...

Hey, I was looking into getting a new Cham and this one was offered at a nice price. Can you guys tell me if there is anything wrong with him from these pics? -Anthony

I second this motion. I bought my sticks at Home Depot. They were like $2.00 for about sixteen little green sticks about two in. long. Stick them in the ground with your finger and then water regularly. I never checked to see if they contaminate the plant though, but my veiled doesnt eat my...

Thanks for all the info, and I do know the rule of thumb, I just don't know the size of the roaches. I'm asking because I just ordered a shipment of dubias and am looking into a getting another cham. It does however need to fit into a 36x20x20 cage at adult size though, or else I would just get...

Ah, alright. Thank you all for the advice. I think I may get another Jackson cham as I've had one before. Do you think they can eat dubias?

Thanks for the info, I live in Hoboken, Right outside of NYC.

Hey, I was wondering if I could feed the Dubais to a pygmy chameleon. I haven't bought either yet so i cant judge the size so lets assume its a newborn pygmy we are feeding. Thanks.

I threw in a big old shefflera in my veiled's cage, and the plant grows like a monster. Other than that I just threw in a bunch of artificial vines. I didn't and won't need any silk plants in there.
