Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Gravid Female Jackson, about 2 years old, been in my care for a little over a month
Handling - Next to never, only to go outside
Feeding - She has a steady supply of crickets, 2 a day gut loaded with veggies and zoo med cricket care
Supplements - Reptivite with D3 twice a month and Reptivite without D3 the rest of the time
Watering - I mist her twice a day, I keep misting until i see her stop drinking, she also has a drip system I fill up though I never see her drink from it
Fecal Description - (see picture below) I have also been seeing white solids in a yellow membranous sack, which I had been told were unused eggs from her pregnancy
History - This is her second time going through pregnancy.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 16X16X32 screen cage
Lighting - I have a 25 watt infared light for basking and a 5.0 UVB linear light for lighting which are both on from 8-8 each day
Temperature - Average cage temperature is 75 with 85 under the basking spot, measured with a circular themometer
Humidity - I keep the humidity levels between 50-80% through misting and am currently working on ways to keep it closer to 80 than 50
Plants - There is a live umbrella plant in the cage the rest of the plants are fake
Placement - The cage is located in my room away from vents and fans with the top of her cage being about half the height of my room
Location - Around Fort Worth Texas
Current Problem - A red sack hanging around her rectal area.
I was gone for the weekend on vacation and had one of my friends taking care of my cham for me, when I came back she seemed alright, she drank a lot when I misted her for the frst time but her cage humidity was alright, so I'm thinking my friend just didn't spray her long enough, but Yesterday I noticed she was sleeping during the day and then I look in there today and I see a red sack hanging from her rectum, which I know doesn't look healthy at all, so I'm asking on here before I take her to the vet, is this a common occurrence? Do I need to take her to the vet asap? or is this something that needs to run it's course? I couldn't find anything on the internet about it.
