Hey Everyone,
My vet is out of town (of course) and one of my panther chameleon girls started a strange behavior that I had never heard of before. When I went in to mist this afternoon, she was chewing on her own tail. She was up on a branch just chomping away. I do morning inspections of all of my animals, and she was perfectly healthy this am. There were zero signs of stress, no infections, scratches, or abrasions. She drank well, and even ate some crickets. Then this afternoon, she is super dark and trying to bite herself. Has anyone heard of this before? She is about 3 years old, has been having regular normal bowel movements, and a wonderful appetite. She gets a calcium supplement and a vitamin supplement dusted on crickets twice a week. Temps are perfect, as are her lights. Nothing has changed from this morning till this afternoon.
Any suggestions? She has started to bring a bit of blood. I am calling around to try to get another vet to see her. Just wanted to thoughts of what to do prior to appointment.
Thanks
Heather
