I was thinking due to her blah color and the fact that she had laid eggs (she had 32 in her clutch), perhaps made her a bit weak and would also need the extra calcium. After laying, she did cover her eggs really well and even dug from the other side of the bin to cover them. She climbed onto a...
I am so sorry to hear that was his outcome. People think because they aren't mammals, just "lizards", that it is hard to be sad about losing them, but I know it hurts. You did your best to help him it seems.
Thank you for all of the posts. I had checked back a couple of times but did not see any posts, but was evidently experiencing an ID10T error. Nigel is still going strong since that post, took him to Dr. Joe who advised us that it was indeed lack of calcium and the proper lighting. "He" has...

we recently purchased a small chameleon that we have had for a month. He (whom I believe through google is actually a she but since he looked like a "Nigel", she is always referred to as he). Nigel lives in a glass 40ish gallon tank with a 100w day light and a 100w purple heat lamp for night...
