Hello! @kinyonga @MissSkittles @Beman I hope you guys are all well and happy new year! :) Little kiwi’s skin saga is still ongoing, I thought I would update the forum incase it helps similar situations etc The vet did a surgical biopsy of the discoloured skin on his side, all tests showed no...

Hello and happy weekend! @kinyonga @MissSkittles Unfortunately the skin issue on my little kiwi doesn’t seem to be getting better, although I know chameleons heal in strange ways so I would HUGELY appreciate your advice on next steps. To note: he is eating / drinking / pooping as normal, no...

Hello lovely Cham owners, Kiwi is no closer to a diagnosis, he has been seen by an exotic vet (with Cham experience) but they are undecided and therefore kiwi hasn’t been given any treatment so far. It is day 8 since the marking appeared, it seems to be more white & defined but it is...

Thank you both! @kinyonga @MissSkittles He is cup fed but I don’t give him crickets, he has dubia & silkworms as his staple bugs. If it is a burn, will it heal on its on own or is medication needed? The other unusual thing he has is no pigment on the inside of his front two hands. It’s...

Hello! I hope everyone is having a great weekend :) @MissSkittles @Sonny13 @kinyonga It’s day 4 since the markings on kiwi have appeared, I don’t think they have gotten worse but they haven’t gotten any better... The white maybe seems more pronounced but hard to say given he’s always...

Thank you, I really appreciate your time & expertise! Wow I didn’t know chams could bruise, that’s so interesting. It could be a bruise as his missing tail does make him quite clumsy. I will keep a close eye on it, fingers crossed…

Ah thank you! I think he is too but he has a sad back story… A really awful keeper advertised him on GumTree as ‘free’ ‘must go today’ because he had lost half his tail and had multiple bite wounds. He was being kept in a small enclosure with over 10 other juveniles who had been bulling him...

Hi guys, Hope everyone has had a good week! My 2 year old panther has developed a strange patch on one area of his body - I would describe it as both white & dark. Please see photos attached of: - his healthy side for comparison (right side) - left side with strange markings x 2 - close up...

Thank you Kinyonga, that’s the kind of explanation I was trying to find :) (My dad uses a Britta for his fancy coffee machine, he’s going to be devasted when I forward this info :ROFLMAO:)

Hi Beman! Thank you as always for being so helpful, you are the Cham oracle! :) Great to know how often you replace the filter. I have researched RO systems but read that they produce a lot of waste water so they can be expensive to run & slow to produce without good tap pressure? I don’t...

Hello fellow Cham owners, Happy weekend! I am debating which method to use to purify my MistKing water and would really appreciate some advice :) I know RO water is generally the purist to use but I’ve read some owners use a domestic water filter jug like this -...

Hi fellow Cham owners! I hope everyone is having a good week so far :) Just a quick one, I’ve been trying to find somewhere in the uk that sells RO water online / has a delivery service. Anyone know a place? Annoyingly I rent so I can’t install a tap fixture to make my own water and I no...

Okay @Beman your prediction was correct: the silicone works as an adhesive but it’s not strong enough to hold the tension the vinyl needs when stretched in the frame. I give up!! I’m going to try solid PVC panels instead. Is there a specific type of PVC/acrylic sheeting that is enclosure...

IGNORE ABOVE - just checked the epoxy resin packet and it says toxic to marine life, so that’s a no go! I’m going to try the marine vinyl with one more product then call it quits and switch to solid pvc sheets. Do you know if the following would be safe / strong bonding? - PVC pipe cement...

Hi @Beman :) Yes I’ve got marine grade vinyl pvc, as you predict it’s proving really difficult to get an adhesive that works. Epoxy glue sort of sticks BUT it has such a potent smell I’m worried about using it. Do you know if it’s safe to use inside an enclosure? (After it has cured/gassed...

It’s so frustrating! I can’t return it either because I painted it before I realised 🤦🏻‍♀️ It was so easy to customise before dammit… thank you I will try sanding!

Hiya Cham keepers! I hope everyone is having a great weekend :) I have just purchased a new reptibreeze to replace my current old one and noticed zoomed have changed the design of the panels - in a way that is causing a big problem in my attempt to replace the mesh screen with PVC. I wanted...

Hiya! I hope everyone is have a great weekend :) Just a quick question, I never see my 8 month Cham drink because he’s still very shy. SO I have been monitoring his urates closely… Is the attached okay or on the dehydrated side? I would say it’s cream (maybe with a bit of orange?!) but I’ve...

Hi folks, Happy weekend! I am considering adopting a new male panther and came across someone with a mixed litter. Strangely, all 3 males are missing the ends of their tails, the 2 females are fine. The owner said the males nipped each other. Is this a likely explanation? Would this cause any...

He Totally agree, that’s why I wanted to gauge how serious it looks so I can emotionally prepare myself! He has a dripper that he drinks from religiously so it was just his humidity that dropped when the mister was busted. I will ask the vet to look into both types of gout, thank you for the...
