Question
I got him flukers calcium and vitamin supplement. He is starting to look a lot better, he turned from a dark green to a bright green. He has started to eat more but still wont eat any crickets, just meal worms. how long should it take him for his jaw swelling to go down and recover from this?

Answer
Hello Luke,

Ok, so the calcium powder is a mixed calcium & vitamin supplement together, or did you get a calcium only supplement?  He needs a calcium supplement that has no vitamins in it, so he gets plenty of calcium right now.  Dust daily, maybe a little heavily for a few weeks to get his levels up.
That is great his colors have already improved.  He is quite handsome.  It will take a few weeks at least for the swelling to begin to improve noticeably.  Remember, reptiles have very slow metabolic systems so they do take awhile to heal up most of the time.

Keep trying with the crickets.  Maybe he can't catch them?  Try putting them in the fridge for a few minutes to slow them down, or popping the back legs off so he can get them better.
I hope that he continues to improve!
