I have just lost my mail cham, for a long time his casque slowly got bigger, my vet originally tried to drain it but there was no fluid in it. I was told on the forum that they store fat in the casque, this helped because I was quite conserned. He died at 5.5 yrs with a very fat casque, my vet...
My recomendation is dust your crickets with Nutrabol and change your UV at least once a year, if pos every 6 months.. He's a very handsome young :rolleyes:man!
I would defenatly recommend a vet visit as chams dont heal like we do, if your cham has an open wound it could easily become infected. depending on the nature of the wound a special kind of glue can be used well i know this is the case after sergury anyway. You cant go wrong with a bigger cage...
I hate to say but if I were you try and find yourself a specialist with reptiles... there are antibiotics you can use with chameleons, i used two or 3 different ones, Baytril is the most common but seek advice from a vet who knows about it because you have to give the right dose. My cham had a...
I would recommend you give him some Critical Care powder mixed with water, give it to him in a syringe, this way he is getting lots of nurishment and getting hydrated at the same time, always worked really well for me... When he is hungy he will hopefully eat, if in dought though get him checked...
thankyou everyone for your kind words, we bring him home today, he will rest in a very special flower bed which is in memory of my brother paul...
May all your special little companions live long and happy lives... Faye :o

It is amazing how sad i feel, that green...
if in dout get him checked out... i have had my male vailed for about 5 yrs, I have found darker colour can meen stressed or not warm enough. they can be rather active so the dancing on the ceiling i wouldnt be too concerned about, could it be he needs a bigger home though. I have had to take my...
I have posted before regards Houdini, my 5.5yr male cham, he has been to the vets so many times for problems and he has always pulled through in the end... The vet is concerned that the large swelling in his casque may be putting pressure on a nurve, his eyes are rolling, he now has a lump on...

I made my own enclosure so i was able to put wooden beams at the sides, these would support the horizontal beams which hold his waterful and food container. From them i have been able to attach fake bendy branches that i can bend in any direction. I have also aquired some brilliant rather...
:D Thankyou so much for the advice, you saying you had a cham with a fat head too makes me feel a lot better. You saying about fat, i guess that all makes sence, when i first got them i was told from the guy in the shop you cant over feed, feed them every other day, anything they dont need they...
Thankyou!!
Thankyou for tip! This is Houdini, 1 pic of him possing on his favourite ornament (on the windowseal, the other 2 pic were taken when he really wasnt happy about it, from the 2 shots you can see the swelling to the sides and the rear.
