Your information is just what I needed!!! I'm actually going to print it out and use it as a check list!! I was kind of wondering if the tongue problem was caused by some kind of imbalance in vitamins. I just didn't know which one or really how to fix it. What kind of supplement schedule would...
Like I said, my animals are not calcium deficient lol.
OMG!!! There is no spur!!! I asked the guy for a MALE (not knowing how to sex chameleons). The size of the fin was bigger than the ones he said were female so I assumed I got a male. :eek: :mad:
