After a long fight, Oliver passed late last night. I am completely heartbroken. Oliver was my baby and I really miss him. He would have been 4 this december and that was not enough time for him on earth. I hate staring at an empty cage and I feel so guilty and I feel that I could have done...

Hello everyone, I took Oliver to the vet on July 10th, to get a nasty scratch looked at. This was july 10 https://imageshack.com/i/ide5HKA4j The vet prescribed .03 injectable Ceftaz (antibiotic) for 3 weeks. During that time Oliver would not eat and hadn't been prior to the vet visit, so I had...

How much unflavored pedialyte is recommended for an 190g chameleon?

Oliver is slowing recovering from a skin infection, that is almost completely healed up. (https://www.chameleonforums.com/day-8-a-132035/) However he is still on baytril and his appetite is basically nothing. He has had normal poop up until yesterday at the vet, he had almost explosive runny...

Going along with what I'm doing in this thread (https://www.chameleonforums.com/day-8-a-132035/), would it be smart to add some ReptAid into the mix, or is that really over doing it? Im just afraid everything I am doing to make him better is just going to end up stressing him out too much.

Oliver is on his 8th day of Baytril (skin injections, not oral) and I am starting to really worry about his food intake. In the past month he has only eaten a few super worms, some bug juice and a butter worm I forced today. :( Hornworms + Butterworms came in the mail today, which are his...

Oliver is back on Baytril for 3 weeks and he hasn't been eating at all. I made some bug juice on sunday and have gotten a good portion into him yesterday and today as well as a lot of water. I just wish he would eat as much as he drinks. How long will the Bug juice I made sunday keep? Should...

Are these bruises?

Quick question...So i'm writing an application describing what area of vet medicine I want to specialize in. Obviously I want to become a reptile vet. Is Herp Vet the official name or what is it actually called? I feel really stupid asking, as herp vet is all I've ever heard/said but their...

Funny how chameleon health can change so quick. So a few days ago, I posted concerned about his poop. I had a house sitting job that required me to stay the weekend and I left on friday leaving Oliver in the capable hands of my parents. Well, a couple hours ago they said he hadn't moved from...

Has any one seen anything like this? Could it be stray fecal matter that mixed...or should I get a fecal check for parasites. (I'm looking where the poop hits the urate) Thank you Lauren

So just came back from a dinky little reptile show but I got a few good deals. Bought some cheap super worms and gutload and I also decided to buy some of these red runners. I needed some new enrichment food and this seemed fine. Now I don't want to breed them....but I also don't want them to...

Okay so I know chameleons change color on a daily basis, but can they change their whole scheme in a few months? Back in August this was Oliver, As of now (this isn't the best shot, but the best I have ATM...sorry) He seems to either be very light or very dark when he is basking and I...

Hello, Hope everyone is staying warm on this crazy winter day (at least in texas) :D I'm concered with Oliver, becasue he seems to have some saggy skin, I dont know if he isnt eating enough, or is this a pre-cursor to shedding? Any advice would be well appreciated! Thank you :)

I did this project in art at the end of last school year. I want to say its about 24inx18in but I will have to check. (it's still hanging up) I used plaster to form the ridges and then carve his scales and texture into it to make it 3D. It is a close up picture of his eye and face region. Hope...

Hello, I haven't been on at all recently, but now with school starting back up I will be around much more. I just wanted to update Oliver. Remember when he was just a little brown stick? Well through the summer he has changed a lot! This beautiful little late bloomer was sired...

So my mom sent in a drawing of a chameleon I did to this company that makes it into jewelry. I was skeptical but it came out really good! Now I finally have a chameleon related piece of jewelry (:

Hi I have become worried about Oliver's habits in his cage. After we re-did it last weekend all he wants to do is climb up and down and claws at it. He did it in his last cage and this is why we re did it. I used to think it was not enough branches but then yesterday I went up to feed him...

I would have called this cage 2.0 but my dad keeps teasing me because we still kept the same cage (with some tiny holes and such) and didn't buy a new one I have no green thumb or fingers for any matter so after killing quite a number of umbrella plants, I decided to go with a hibiscus for...
