https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/19877/et-in-chameleon Hi, I was wondering what do you use as ET tube for chameleon. I personally find them the most difficult to intubate. Either the tube is too fine and get blocked with secretion or the tube is too thick and is only in the trachea by a few millimetersen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/119317?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 17 Aug 2014 12:25:39 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:cff26482-eac8-4487-b543-19d8b8d882f2Michael Woodhouse<p>I was trying to figure out how you do embryo transfer in an egg laying species. </p> <p>The exotics section confuses me.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/119316?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 17 Aug 2014 11:13:34 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:62a2a00a-7052-4fd5-9d62-91a6607a8938Marie Kubiak<p>I use an IV catheter in smaller species (2&quot; 16G in veiled chameleon sized animals) and it works well - they are long enough to avoid inflating the gular pouch and thin and just rigid enough to place easily. We use a ventilator routinely and this keeps the tube clear well. I would worry that the cook type would damage the very delicate laryngeal/hyloid anatomy if nudged.</p> <p>For larger species (panther upwards) we use latex ET tubes of appropriate size but cut down to shorter length and placed with stylette.</p> <p>Marie</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
