This is an update on the Jackson's chameleon at the petstore I work at (affectionately dubbed Mr. Jackson).
He is, much to my surprise, doing much better. There was some rearranging in our back room (where the sick/overstock animals are kept) and now that he's essentially by himself on a shelf he has started doing considerably better. His feet fungus is fading away, and he seems to be eating more and getting more water.
Today when I opened up the cage to figure out where he was after I finished misting, he crawled right out and onto my hand, where he promptly took a nap. It was the cutest thing ever and I have completely fallen in love with him. If I can manage to set aside enough money this semester I want to take him home.
He looks rather dark in these pictures, but I'm fairly certain it's cause it was his bedtime. Both our chams get darker at night and Mr. Jackson is nice and green during the day.
(my finger and his feet are yellow because I took advantage of his nap to do his betadine foot rinse)
Thanks to everyone who gave me advice! He's got another week left and if things keep going the way they are he should be good to go!
