Sneezing/Coughing

[Austin.Hopson]

Do chams sneeze or cough?

They can have audible noises associated with URI's and other lung ailments.

Some confuse their "piff" warning sound as a cough though.

When are you hearing him make this noise?

My panther chameleon made a coughing / sneezing sound and I took him in to the vet for a culture, $150 later for a culture, there were some pathogens and I had some liquid antibiotics to administer. I am not sure if I gave him enough, but he still occasionally makes that coughing / sneezing sound.

When I listen to him breath, I do not hear a crackle sound, I do not see foam in his mouth, and he has a healthy apatite, active, and otherwise seems normal.

Is there a youtube video of all the normal chameleon sounds?

Panther chams make a single puff, piff, cough sound about every other day out of there nose. I'm not really sure why, but its normal. SO this is not a constant noise but a single one

He will just be chilling and make the sound, he'll do it 2 or three times with 10-15 second between them and then stop.
