So yesterday I went to the vet because I was concerned my chameleon had a mouth infection again. Instead he got a fecal test and the vet said he saw a tiny percentage of parasites and that's why he isn't eating much and acting strange. He gave me an antibiotic and vitamin boost to give orally...
Your Chameleon - He is a Male Jackson around 1 and a half year old. I got him exaclty 1 year ago from petsmart.
Handling - 1 every 2 or 3 weeks. Usually to move him around before bed or to take him into a humid room.
Feeding - His diet is mainly large crickets... I gut load them with flukers...
So my little guy has a mouth infection and I've been giving him antibiotics everyday and he does seem to be getting better. However is it normal for his kind of under his mouth area to get big it looks like he's holding water in his mouth.
I have to feed my Cham antibiotics and vitamins by mouth since he has a mouth infection anyone have any ideas how to open up his mouth. im afraid ill irratate his mouth.
I have a Jackson Male and hes been acting strange lately. i took him to the vet and he found nothing wrong with him. So he could be molting or acting weird due to the change of daylight hours but has anyone ever experienced this. He wont eat but he drinks plenty of water. his eyes are really...
Okay so my Cham always falls asleep when the heat lamp isn't on him. Should I buy another bulb and put it near the bottom of the cage. Or what? Any ideas?
My chameleon is acting very strangely. hes clung onto the branch insanely close to it almost laying on it and his eyes look really tired. His skin looks like its about to molt so that's what i thought was wrong but i'm just getting worried. Hes gotten enough sleep, he wont eat, and he barley...
I have major issues trying to get the crickets out of my chameleons cage at night, and i get insanely angry when they chirp and i have to sleep downstairs or in a different room. What do you guys do to get crickets out for the night? when i try, they just jump around and they are impossible to...
okay so ive heard different things and i read a couple blogs on gut loading and stuff, i powder my crickets with calcium as well. But i usually just put potatoes in there, what do you recommend? i wanna hear your guys opinions :D
As i said in one of my other posts. My chameleon got these weird looking purple smudges and dots on the side of his cheeks and around parts of his head after his first shed with me. could it be mouth rot? his mouth doesn't seem to be swelling and hes eating fine. I tried looking online for...
Do you guys suggest building your own cage or buying? just curious because i am in need for a full screen cage and i want to find one that isnt too costly. :confused:
Curious on what the right size for a cage for a 6 month or so old Jackson chameleon. ive had him in a glass set up for now with a screen top for ventilation, because i didn't have enough money for the cages at petsmart.
Also if anyone has any ideas on how to build a good cage for him that...
my chameleon is developing purple dots on his head near his mouth and is moving down his back, some are bumps but others just are smooth. but they are odd for a Jackson chameleon i think. im a bit worried, is it an infection? :confused:
