I went back to petsmart where I bought my chameleon, asked for the information on it like sex, age, hatch date, etc. And they said they had no information at all and couldn't contact the people they got it from. I'm furious and very mad; is there any
Not all states have laws on the books pertaining to animal Care. There may be consumer protection laws that may give you recourse. At most, you may get a refund of purchase price or another chameleon. You would need to contact your state consumer protection board, the Better Business Bureau or PetSmart corporate offices.

My 2 year old pantheon chameleon started losing colour on his head about two weeks ago. This has now spread around his whole body so he is very dull grey and black for the last few weeks. He has a 4/5 ft high tank, with heat lamp and uv lamp, he has
Are you sure he isn't going into a shedding period? Confirm proper environmental parameters, especially heat and UVB lighting. Low temps may cause stress which could cause him to become dull. Replace the UVB lights if older than 6 months. Mist him daily and use hygrometers in his enclosure to confirm proper humidity levels. Monitor for lethargy or decreased appetite. If necessary, have him examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles to diagnose illness or injury.

I have a 4 month old chameleon who got mbd i know its a common disease and i tried to prevent it ive been giving him liquid calcium (3 drops everyday oral) and he has uvb. I can take him out side becuase of my weather conditions.. He eats well and dr
Hello, I’m glad you are taking steps to correct the MBD. Oral calcium is important as well as vitamin A and hydration. I like Repashy vitamin A dust on crickets every 2 weeks and calcium powder dust with every other feeding. Make sure the humidity stays above 50-60%. This is very hard inside in the winter so it will be a constant battle. Gut load and dust all insects fed, if you have a drip or misting system, ensure that is working well. The UVB light should be changed every 6 months. MBD lizards are at higher risk of infections and fractures so keep a close eye on his appetite and activity. Pad branches and lower branches if he seems unsteady. Most of all, be patient. Reptiles take a long time to get sick and take just as long to recover. It can take several months for him to bounce back, and any distortion or trauma to his bones may always be noticeable. If you’d like to discuss this more, don’t hesitate to request a consult. Take care!

I just recently took in a supposed 6 month old male Savannah monitor that was being kept in a far too small enclosure with no heat source, only being let out to roam free for a few hours a day, with a diet of only crickets We've moved him into a 4 ft
He is likely suffering some degree of nutritional deficiency. He should be examined by an experienced herp veterinarian. Blood work may diagnose calcium deficiency. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites. Calcium injections, deworming and subcutaneous fluids may all be indicated. He should be eating a varied diet including kingworms, crickets and larger prey such as pinky or fuzzy mice. Adequate heat is necessary for proper digestion. Keep daytime temperature between 85 F and 95 F. Nighttime temps can be set about 10 degrees lower. A UVB light source should also be provided to maximize calcium metabolism and utilization. .

Am trying to find Amphibian food for my Grey’s Tree Frog with out vitamin D3. What will D3 do to the frog (male)
Thanks for reaching out about Carmine. Not sure what type of food you are searching for, a powder to top-coat insects. A variety of insects can be offered, and gut loaded. Vitamin D3 can be over supplemented so powdered should only be used once weekly. Exposure to ultraviolet B radiation is very important for the absorption of calcium in the intestinal tract. Catch insects outdoors, as long as your not spraying. Good luck.
