Hi there, don't have one yet, but planning and just started wondering. So first there's the debate bring him to the vet right away would probably be extra stressful but ideal. But if you can't go right right away (there's a likelihood he'll be coming on a Friday evening and I work sat so no vet till Monday.) So then a he'll just be calmly down and then pulling him out for a car ride, or do you normally just bring a fecal first? Or you want the whole Cham checked, right?
So my other concern is, supposing he does likely have parasites or worms or whatever, so now he's gotten these on his cage and vines & plants or if the medicine makes him shed these things or whatever, so now he's likely to re-infect himself? Or how long do you wait before thoroughly disinfecting everything. I wouldn't want to do it every day, cause then he'll never be able to relax and de-stress. I get it if you have a new additional chameleon, you'd have a quarantine cage but if it's your first one I don't have multiple cages. Should I keep him in the little explorarium until he's parasite free? Then move to big permanent cage? How long would that be? Would that be more stressful? Am iiiiii stressing too much? Lol. I don't really know anything about parasite problems, I get creepy dreams if I think about it too much. Haha
