I just bought a sick Cham the owner didnt have the money for the vet he wasnt as sick as i thought!
i'll be taking him to the vet asap
it wasnt exactly what i wanted but i think When he gets better he will make a nice pet

good luck and i hope you end up with a nice healthy cham.

Note The worms in the skin

i beleive it is Foleyella furcata worms the soonest appointment i got is monday at 2:00 pm

I read a book and It said the worm will have to be cut out and if you're lucky it stayed just under the skin. If It went in side it will not make it. good luck....Scott...

i was wondering if anyone else has had a problem with these parasites? if so what did the vet do? did it work?
any info would be appreciated
i have heard one person say not to let the vet prescribe
invermectin? as it harms the chams
i dont know myself

i could be wrong but dont quote me but. I think one time someone had this problem with an ambanja and the vet had to cut under the skin to get them out... but i could be wrong here. hope this isnt the case with yours

That's not a very nice thing to say. Ocala is not so "crappy"...I know tons of people that love it here. Wow, you are going from one extreme to the other...FL sunshine and horse country to big city and rainy gloomy days. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
