It's been a trying past few weeks


The past few weeks have not gone good at all. First off the female neonate panther chameleon that I purchased became stressed and began to have what I first thought was a respiratory infection. The vet I took her to realized that she was not gasping for air but that she was belching. We did a fecal examination, and the vet showed me flagellates under the microscope. She said it was an intestinal parasite in high quantity. We have put the chameleon on meds and supplements and in a hospital tank since then.
I'm not real happy with The breeder I purchased them from. I have had several phone conversations with him about the female neonate panther chameleon and the intestinal parasites.. All he seemed to be interested in was finding out how I could have been at fault. I have never asked for my money back or to be compensated for my vet bills. I am not using this blog to bash people. This is my personal blog to chronicle my history in Herp keeping. This is a lesson I learned that's all.
