Thanks!

I found this bug crawling out of one of my plants I have in my chameleons enclosure. Anyone know what it is and if it’s safe for him to eat? I took it out because I have no idea what it is.

5.0 uvb 22” t 5HO, retivite withd3 (2x a month), repticalcium without d3(3-4 x a week), and her private with beta carotene multivitamins (2x a month).

I checked in on my Cham this morning and noticed his front foot won’t curl all around a vine. Am I giving him too much of a supplement?

Thanks for your help but unfortunately Las Vegas in 8 hours away from Reno which is where I live. Let’s just pray and hope for the best for tomorrow.

She is, and thank you

I just got an appointment. The earliest is tomorrow at 9am. So we will see what she says. Thanks for your help

Thanks so much! I’m in Reno, NV. I called the vet at Kreature Komforts(their vet is out of town) and that led me to Mountain View. I talked to them this morning. Do you think I can get the cream from them without bringing in my Cham?

i suck, we thought it was just shedding. I did however, noticed on the car ride home after picking him up his back spines were gone indicating burns. Didn’t look close enough to his casque I guess. :(

It’s been warming up so we don’t have the heat on but that room isn’t well isolated even in winter, it was always cold in that room but nothing alarming for him. It’s a zoo med set with a ceramic at 100 watt. We do not have a temp gun, at least I don’t think so. I’ll ask my husband if he has one...

Do you have a recommended wattage for living in Nevada desert? It can get pretty warm in the room during summer, today the enclosure has been reading around 70-75 degrees. Would 50 watt be too low? Maybe keep the 100 watt during winter instead? We get cold and sometimes brutal winters occasionally.

Okay thanks.

I got polysporin earlier. Do you think that’s okay? I saw some other users recommended it.

I also moved the heating bulb slightly so it’s on top of a lower branch. Going to get a lower wattage when I’m off of work

***UPDATE*** I found his casque that seems to have fallen off. Thank you EVERYONE for your help and knowledge about this. Makes me feel better it wasn’t me who did this to him. I’ve been researching the crap out of chameleons since the day I got him from a little 9year old boy off of Craigslist...

I feel SO much better that I wasn’t the one who did this to him. I got him April 4 and we were wondering why it hadn’t shed just yet. Found the casque

Ooooohhh that makes sense to me. When I got him he came from a 9year old and the lamp was way closer than I have right now. And the time frame seems more accurate. Here’s a photo when I first got him in the set up he came in

the current lamp is just heat, no light. The firatpic is the day I got him. Second pic is the most recent one. When I first set up his cage i did do the hand under heat check and I was fine.

The casque was fine. No prior damage at all. It’s just a heat bulb in A dual dome but we don’t use the light part of it. It just came with the chameleon when I bought him. 24” T5ho by reptisun is what we are using for light 5.0 uvb. How much farther down should I have him? I measured and...

Casque was fine just yesterday. I got him in April and he was completely fine and healthy from what I could see. This is him basking this morning. I don’t think it’s a burn but I am wondering if it was from a branch since he is also shedding on his casque and tried to get it off? Also, the...
