Aloha All,
I am a knew Jackson Chameleon owner. Upon getting my cham, about two weeks ago, I noticed some of his toenails were missing. One of his toes seems to be infected, only one toe is swollen (the other half of his foot is normal size). I noticed the irritation about 3 days ago and decided to keep an eye on it, but the swelling has not gone down. I scheduled an exotic vet appointment but they are not able to get him in until Thursday Oct. 18th. He is still active in his cage and eats frequently (around 4-7 medium sized crickets a day, and then 2 meal worms a day). His feces looks normal and he is hydrated. The max temperature of his cage is 85 degree F and humidity ranges from 50-70 (I have a humidifier). He still shows his bright colors, but I have noticed him closing one of his eyes more frequently when he hunts...is this normal? His infected toe also shakes when he moves that foot, but he still grasps onto branches and uses it frequently. My main question is what can I do for him in the mean time before the vet visit? I don't want my little guy to be stressed
