This is great site. Welcome and congrats on the panther.

I will post about my husbandry when i get time lol well busy atm, i will try and get a picture tonight.

My panther is a grumpy one he likes displaying colours but if i ever need to get him out her has never bitten or anything like that. He's a lovely boy .

He is having a mixture of locusts and crickets atm dusted in neutrabal and cricket dust and also some without dust a nice balance.

Thanks for all the welcomes people

Welcome! hope you enjoy your stay in this forum

He is abit dull atm i think he is coming up to a shed.

First his set up. Want some more greenery and stuff. everything in there AT THE MOMENT is fake.





Now for him

He is a Sambava Male Panther chameleon.











What you think

Do you have live plants?
Is that substrate?
How are you giving him water? Dripper? Mister?
Humidity?
Temps?
Supplements?

No as i said in my post i dnt have live plants, yes it is eco earth substrate, i spray him twice a day and i also have a steady dripper for him.

Sorry, I would get a couple of live plants in there.
Live plants will help with humidity.
Ditch the substrate.
What are you supplementing with, feeding with, and gutloading your feeders with?

Welcome good luck with ur new baby!

i am getting him real plants when he has to go into his new flexarium in a couple of months he will have big plants in there.

He is doing fine in what he is in. Thriving for food drinking well and his health seems very good.

I would follow the recommendation of Justin and take the substrate out. Your cham could accidently consume some when catchin its food and leave him impacted. If you need a substrate, use newspapers or paper towels.
