Update: To all of you who offered me advice about Viscorous, thank you so much. My parents took him to the vet where he was given a clean bill of health save for a mild infection, and an increased salmonella count. He was given anti-biotics and seemed to a have made a great recovery...

Thanks. I really hope that he's okay. I'm actually up in Fort Collins, CO going to school so I can't even be there for him. This is not a good week for me.

I have a good chameleon vet, who's the primary exotic specialist at our clinic. I'll let my dad know. He's obviously gotta wait until Monday, or even later to get an appointment, but until then, I can have him keep me posted on Vis's progress (good or bad).

Cage Info: Cage Type - 5' H X 2' W X 2' L, Screen cage Lighting - I don't know what the UVB bulb brand is and I have a RepiSun heating lamp. Lights on at about 5:30 AM and off at about 7:30 PM ( This is to ensure that my parents are able to feed/ water him before and after work.) Temperature...

Crickets with meal worms for treats. He should at least be eating the mealies, he hasn't had any in a couple of weeks. I'll try and get him some small silkworms this time around or something.

Vis is almost 7 months old, and recently I've noticed that he hasn't been eating, or at least I haven't seen him eat at all in the last three days. I've been misting his cage regularly, and I'm kinda worried. He's still vivacious and active, but I'm still worried. I recently put a Hibiscus in...

For a probono cage it's not too bad. The paint job is new obviously, but it's a decent cage for having cost us absolutely nothing.

What I don't personally understand is why everyone is freaking out over it. The owner was curious, and for the person who said he would've stopped once you cracked the egg, the chameleon would've died anyway. The owner was curious. The loss of one Cham for the sake of learning is better than the...

Peril. Syrus. Griz. Pirg. (Grip Backwards). Spi. (Short for Spiral) I dunno. I like Pirg. If you pronounce it " Purge".

I don't think it's the same kind of crust. It's not on his nostrils. It's around his mouth. I think it might be that he's about to shed or something, but I'll cut back on dusting the crickets he eats to once a day.

Thanks for that. What about the mice and anoles?

Can you gut load crickets canned dog food? I know there's a fair amount of protien and other vitamins that are in canned dog food that could possibly be beneficial to mah little Viscorous. I read somewhere, ( have no idea where) about gutloading with canned dog food or something like that...

The temperature needs to be kept a little bit lower than that. I got sort of reamed for having the temp that high. 76-80 degrees. The younger chams can't regulate their body tempreatures as well as adults, and they can cook themselves to death. So... Keep it at a lower temp, and make sure that...

I'm no expert on the matter, but, from what I hear: The waterfall needs to come out. The temp needs to be lowered just a little bit- he's still young, and young chams can't really regulate their body temperatures well. Most veileds don't like to be misted, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't...

Quick question. How big does your chameleon have to be before you can begin feeding him small or medium mealworms? Vis is approx. 5.0" long. I've waited to get mealies, for this exact reason, I don't know if he can eat them... If he can... Then how do I feed them to him?

Behind the Keyboard and screen.

He's sitting on one of his plants and his head is just down, like to the side. His eyes look sleepy and he's not really moving much. I guess it could be that it's getting close to lights out, but... I don't know.

I might be a little too... Paranoid, but just recently, like, five minutes ago I noticed Vis's head drooping. I don't know if he was eyeing a cricket, or what but it bothered me. He has NEVER done it before... -Panic stricken.- He's not, not doing anything ( I.e. he still eats, and is still...
