your giving reptivite 6 times a week? reptivite has d3 in it. you could be giving him too much d3. you should be giving calcium WITHOUT d3 6 times a week. and vitamins and calcium with d3 about once or twice a month.

Hes also giving WAAAAAY to much vitamin A.

Use calcium without D3 6 times a week.

 

[baggedd5087]

This is the reptivite without D3 that im using

 

[lucky]

thats another thing. they need more calcium than they do vitamins. they should be getting MOST of their vitamins from properly gutloaded insects. and SUPPLIMENTED about twice a month. calcium without d3 daily. SUPPLIMENTS once or twice a month. your over dosing your cham with vitamins

 

[baggedd5087]

O i see so ill go buy Calcium Without D3. are my other supplements ok im scared my little guy is gonna die

 

[lucky]

heres what i do...
calcium without d3 6 days out of the week and i suppliment on sundays. so every other sunday its either calcium with d3 or reptivite. how is your cham now? still not eating? can it drink?

 

[baggedd5087]

I got him to eat a small waxworm. and i got a syringe and when he hisses at it i stick it in his mouth and get a little water in him and i can tell it makes him feel better now he is hanging upside down on the top of his cage under his basking lamp. and he is green im wondering if there was too much stress from thanksgiving

 

[lucky]

lot of people in his area? keep him hydrated/fed and watch the suppliments. hope he does better.

 

[baggedd5087]

Yes i showed him to all my family from denver so maybe he is just super stressed and last night i heard him moving around alot so maybe he is just tired today

I really don't think giving your cham too many supliments is the problem, many Sponsored breeders on here use d3 EVERYDAY. You might wanna set-up a vet app. asap to get an accurate diagnosis/treatment. It is usually well under $100 for the appointment and the meds in my area. Sorry I couldn't answer your question myself...

Wow-I would like to know the sponsored breeders using D3 daily. I can name many of them that do not.

 

[baggedd5087]

He started doing this today he only does it when he drinks and when i fed him a waxworm it took him about 20 minutes to eat the whole thing

DO you have a few better pics of him and his setup? What are you measuring temps with?

My digital camera just stopped working today but here is some of my enclosure. My temps are 80 f at his basking spot the bottom of the cage is 72 f and his body is 81 f im using a welders temp gun and digital thermometer

Cage looks good. Give Reptivite 2-3X monthly at this age. You need to get a good calcium no D3 to use 5-6 times weekly. No sure that is what is causing your problem today.

When you look into his mouth, do you see any bubbles? Does he look like he is having a hard time breathing?

How often do you clean your humidifier. Those things get nasty dirty fast and are a culprit of causing URI. I would up his temps to 90 and get into a Vet tomorrow.

I found my dads digital camera and this is what he has been doing all day just wanting to hang there

I clean it about every 3 months, i dont see any bubbles i dont think he is having a hard time breathing. everyone on here says 80 F is good for his basking spot, and the only problem is the only herp vet in my area is 4 hours away and i have school tomorrow
