In my research to find out where to make my animal cruelty/neglect complaint, I found out that Michigan doesn't require pet stores to have a license! MI Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on Pet Shops There doesn't seem to be an ASPCA nor Humane Society in the area. Roseville...

Thank-you everyone!! It will definitely be a different experience the next time. I will get it from a reputable breeder & have the enclosure set up, with forum reviews before the cham is even purchased!! The store is Great Lakes Reptiles in Roseville, MI. I am in the process of putting my...

Thanks Everyone! I called the store that we purchased Dempsey from to let them know everything that the vet had told us, including that he had been starving for far longer than 4 days. That it takes longer than that for him to have lost all the muscle in his legs, and for his ribs to show...

Sadly, Dempsey past away yesterday morning. We are all sad & very mad about the situation. I just don’t understand how the people at that store could do that to any animal & then sell them. But if you spend just 5 minutes looking at the reviews about them (obviously my family didn’t ☹️) you can...

Well, Now I feel even worse than I did. Apparently I misunderstood the vet, because I just got my butt chewed. The food slurry I am actually supposed to keep force feeding him, many times throughout the day. I will be leaving work shortly so I can start doing that ASAP. I'm sorry if I don't...

Dempsey was back at the bottom of the cage when I got home last night, the temp was 80.1 & but he was black. :( We gave him his food slurry & two drops of water, each a drop at a time, while holding him in that rice thing, that I had mentioned before. He returned to his bright colors. It took...

@Beman I really appreciate your help. I believe he said they were antibiotics. The paperwork is at home, so I will check when I get there. Thank-you for all the links! I have been finding them very interesting & helpful. I am about 1/2 way through the Chameleon Academy's husbandry posts...

Hello Everyone, sorry about not responding to the other posts, I didn't get a notification for them. An update on Dempsey, I found a T5HO fixture & 5.0 UVB bulb. When I got home he was at the top of the cage drinking from the drip cup! I saw him take 2 drips. I could have cried! I put the new...

Thank-you Beman. I will do that this afternoon!

That's a great idea! I will do that for sure! Thank-you.

No, wheezing or weird noises as he breathes. He does hold onto the vine & when the mister starts he very slowly climbs under the leaves of the plants, until it goes off & then it's right back to the bottom of the cage or he seems to sleep hanging on the screen of the cage, in the same spot...

This is exactly why I don't deal with pet stores for live animals. My parrots & my dogs are rescues & I bought my bearded dragon from a breeder & he lived 10+years. I loved this lil guy the second they brought the box to me, though. So I have to at least try to save him. I called the vet as...

Unfortunately, they even made them sign something that said there was no returns & when he asked why was told that they don't know what kind of conditions we will have him in. I'm also afraid he will not make it to his appointment. My heart is breaking.

Thank-you. 8am tomorrow is our appointment.

This is what he looked like straight from the box, from the pet store. :(

Hello Everyone, let me 1st say that I do have a vet appt. but they couldn't get me in until tomorrow. I have been looking at chameleons online & looking into purchasing one from what seemed to be a reputable breeder or a local rescue. However my family, knowing that I was researching them &...
