Good Evening Everyone,
Thank you all for the amazing help last week on my post for new chameleon owner.
Has anyone ever experience a black spot develop or show up on their chameleon ? Typically below the chin / mouth ?
We recently acquired a new Panther Chameleon on March 14, 2019 and took him to the Vet on March 21, 2019 for a check up and fecal test.
The vet called back on Friday March 22, 2019 and said his stool has Coccidia but did not want to treat him given it was inactive but to watch him closely for signs or symptom. He has been acting fine moving around and eating without a problem at all. He has been sleeping in the lower level of his cage.
Cage Info:
-Cage Size: 16x16x36
-Basking Bulb: Zoo Med 75 watt Basking bulb (Outside of Cage) The lighting is set on a timer to go on at 6:30 AM and Off at 7:00 PM.
