To further add to my frustration !


Several days after I began treating the baby female, the larger male I purchased from The original breeder rapidly fell ill. By the morning he was dead. Very upsetting. Worse yet, when the vet examined him, we noticed filarial worms, an external parasite, caused by a mosquito bite found in Madagascar. There was no necropsy. The vet told me it was obvious he was a wild caught chameleon sold to me as captive bred. This was an aggravating and expensive lesson.
