Hi guys,
Thought this would be the best place to ask. We've had our amazing panther chameleon, Kaji for nearly 3 years now which makes him about 3. We live in a small house in the UK and he has been used to coming out as and when he likes. He's very friendly and has always been very colourful when out and about but normally quite dark or just green when he's in his cage. We now have a little baby boy, coming up 4 weeks old and on our last visit from the health visitor she said we should probably keep the chameleon I'm his cage now with littlen. She said there had been reports of lizards/snakes having salmonella bacteria and there had been a few accounts on the area over the past few years of babies been taken very ill (nearly dying) into hospital with the bacteria contracted from their pet reptiles. This has obviously scared the hell out of me and I wondered if any experts out there could either clear it up, or say otherwise. We've kept Kaji in his cage since but he's become very lethargic not going up to his basking spot or moving much and still staying a very dark colour. We've never seen him like this and it's horrible so just looking for some advice please lovely people.
Thanks in advance.
