I'm going to be in big trouble when I get rid of the Christmas tree in a few days!!
Marvin constantly comes running down his perches when he sees me pass his enclosure. He climbs up my arm and shoulder until I get to the tree and then off he RUNS. I wanted to share this with you all as its been...
Thank you. I've lowered one of his perches too in an attempt to discourage him from climbing on the roof and burning himself. He still is in great spirits! He's now obsessed with my Christmas tree, I need a 7ft replacement plant on the hurry.
Thank you both, if he climbs upside down I the mesh ceiling of his house he can probably get within 2-3inches of his light but that would burn his under stomach? His nearest basking branch is around 6inches.
He used to have a small black lip but the vet said that was his pigment and surely...
good morning,
I would like a little advice please prior to a potential vet visit. My velied chameleon has had a black patch on his side for the last two weeks. It doesn't seem to other him apart from looking a little dry.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Marvin's update
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all of you who gave me advice when I needed it. You really helped. Marvin has been to see a specialist and although he was looking and acting well he was starting to show signs of weakness from calcium deficiency.
The vet was very happy...
Thank you jannb, he's so handsome I'm doing everything possible to care for him.
There is a reptile vet I'm calling very shortly otherwise there's one more that I've been recommended. He looks happy enough this morning.
That makes sense thank you. I will sort out his vit am ins tomorrow and get straight on it, I will carry on watching him for a day or two and if there's no signs of improvement I will go to the vets. I will call them tomorrow too. How worried should I be with this tongue thing, I know mbd is...
The tongue thing has only happened today and literally for seconds. The first two times I thought he was choking as it was after food. Then he did it for no reason and again a bit like he was choking, it was only for a few seconds and I didn't get chance to do anything as I looked in horror...
Great I will go and get some extra stuff tomorrow. Did you get the photos I emailed? I'm still trying to post them on here, thanks for the tips. Probably help if I wasn't doing it on my mobile!!
