Okay, I have her in a bin where she'll be safe for the time being. I called the vet and the reptile vet won't be in until tomorrow, and then tomorrow she's only doing surgeries, but I'm still waiting on a call from a technician to see if I can get her in anyways. Thanks for everything so far!
Hello, I went to go check on Tava, my ~15 month old female veiled chameleon tonight, since she was showing signs of being gravid and has been in and out of the egg bin. Well, I checked on her, and found some VERY alarming things.
I suspect she may have fallen. Possible, she fell, tried to...
I have a post with pictures of her tail here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/tavas-tail-turning-brown-91693/
I'll try to get to the store ASAP to get more crickets and some furits and veggies for them. Thank you!
First of all, thanks so much for taking the time to help. Having to post here so many times makes me feel like an unfit chameleon owner, but I'm doing the best to get her better.
By calcium deficiency, I guess I just mean her calcium is low? I haven't noticed any physical abnormalities, and...
Hi, I just posted about Tava yesterday with the possible case of necrosis.
I took her to the vet today and she said, yes, her tail is dying, and she's getting the same issue on her face. I was told from her that low humidity could be a partial cause, and x-ray's showed that it'slikely that...
Okay, I found a vet that takes reptiles for a good amount, too. Tomorrow they're booked, but I may be able to get an urgent care visit in between appointments. Do you think that's what I should do? If so, how should I explain her symptoms? Thank you all so much for your help so far. I appreciate...
Okay, here's a better picture.
I never saw any left over shed.. if it was there it was very small. Recently she's also had a puffy neck area, but I read that can be from having over-supplementation, so I reduced her dusting for now and I was going to wait it out for a bit. I'm not sure if that...
I'm not sure if there's a reptile vet around here. I've called the nearest few and they kept referring me to possible ones that weren't open or that didn't actually deal with reptiles. I don't think that she could have burned her tail. The lamps are on the top of the enclosure and her tail never...
I went to take Tava out of her enclosure today so I could move some things around. I noticed that her tail looks almost like a dry leaf kind of thing. It's brown and thinner, but only at the tip. I'll post a picture below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Her cage is 48x18x18 I believe.
Since she moved in, she seems much less restless, but still isn't laying.
Also, no one has answered about her shedding problem, which is also another concern.
Is it possible she has a nutrient problem?
I don't know if this means anything, but she seems to be...
Her enclosure is in my room.. so it's kind of hard. What would I do about the lamps if I use a sheet?
Also, do you think I should put her in the bigger bin and leave her there for a few hours?
Hello,
I posted here not to long ago about some problems with my chameleon. It was thought that she might be ready to lay her eggs soon. I started taking necessary measures, by getting her some play and and other supplies.
The main problems that have been concerning me are that she hasn't...
She didn't seem too interested in the laying bins... I'll try some more over the next couple of days... I'm really worried about the eating, still. We also ordered a new enclosure, so we should be getting it in the mail soon!
I didn't think she looked too different from normal, honestly. I...
Okay! o: Thanks guys~
Um, what about enclosure accessories?I see a lot of people with trees and stuff, neat looking vines, and sticks that go across the enclosure.
I have vines, but mine are kind of.. I guess you could say tough? They don't bend well and stuff. I'm really interested about...
Thank you, both! I didn't know that you could have the bin outside of the cage, so the one I have in her cage might be a tad small... So if she doesn't show interest, I'll get something bigger and put it outside of the tank.
Also, what about the shedding thing? Is that a problem?
I'm having so much trouble finding the right kind/size. Here's a picture of my chameleon along with her current enclosure. http://riseofthevulpes.tumblr.com/private/17279954319/tumblr_lz3fxyNadZ1qe6a34
Firstly, I know it's wrong, that's why I'm in such a hurry to find a new one.
What I...
I feel like a bad pet owner now :(
Like I said, we're trying to get the flexarium for her. Things have been tight with money, but we should be able to afford it. Do you know where/what I should be getting to put in the flexarium? I do have the uva and uvb lights for her, and I mist her tank 4...
Really? Like I said, I'm not sure on her age... I would have asked when we got her, but my mom got her as a birthday present and never asked when she got her. But I could be wrong on her age. How can I tell if she's ready? She doesn't look any different.
I have a link here showing a picture of...
I have a female veiled chameleon who I've had for about three months now. My guess is she could be as old as six months, mot likelys between four and fine, I'm guessing.
Recently, se hasn't been eating much. I'll put waxeorms and superworms in her bowl, present her with crickets, and she won't...
