I Really Thought She Was Dead

[karmajaye]

so I was just royally freaked out. Karma was at the back of her enclosure sleeping, but she was really puffed out and not moving. Usually she wakes up at night when I'm getting ready for bed, especially if I'm moving stuff around in her enclosure, which I was.
I touched her a little and it looked like her eyes were a little sunken in. She didn't open her eyes or move. at all. I prodded a little more, she was still unresponsive. Fearing the worst I went to pick her up, and with her eyes still closed she puffed herself out more and quickly started turning dark brown.
I pulled the vine she was on out of her enclosure and she opened her bleary eyes at me as to ask why I was waking her up.
She was extraordinarily sluggish and she seemed rather fat. I hadn't fed her today either, so I know she couldn't have stuffed herself.
I gave her some water which she drank up psretty quick. I'm hoping that maybe she was only a little bit dehydrated.
Any thoughts?

Also the basking temp has been 90 degrees today and it is now in the low 70s. I've been giving her a dusting of reptivite with D3 about once every 2 weeks.
She gets multiple mistings a day and has a dripper.
She pooped today. White urate. Some yellow as well. (dehydration?)
I've had her for a year and a half and haven't had any troubles. I'm hoping this isn't big.

With a tummy that big she might have eggs, do you have a laying bin?

My advice would be any time she is bedded down for the night don't disturb her. Don't move anything in her cage, don't touch her, just allow her a good nights sleep. Chams are like people, they need their rest.

 

[karmajaye]

no. I guess I should try and put one in there though. Treefrog better not think its his...ugh.

You keep your cham with a tree frog? What kind of enclosure do you have her in??

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

I recommend a 12 inch deep and 12 inch wide bin of damp play sand, if you make a tunnel with your fist and it doesn't collapse, stays nicely it should be fine. You don't want it too dry or too wet.

Same question, are the frog and cham together? I can't think of how you could meet the needs of both in one cage.

Its a tall, modified terrarium. Instead of just the top being mesh, where the door used to be is also mesh. So 3 sides glass, one long side mesh and the top is also mesh.

Whyy?

I guess if it works, it works.. just wouldnt try it myself

Put link to the thread where you had pics of them together.

They eat the same food, need the same humidy and temp, and need the same amount of space. The extra water that the frog needs is supplied with a rock bowl full of water, which is only put in at night and taken out and cleaned every day.

If my Karma Senegal and your Karma Senegals had eggs I wonder what we would very creativly name them. Karma Tot #1, Karma Tot #2, Karma Tot #3, and so forth.
