Hello Everyone,
Looking to get some help....
Last month my Panther did not shed the top of his knees and a spot on his body. I get him out in the sun for about 30 min 1- 3 times a week, during his shed I do a 10 min shower prior to outdoor free range.
He shed again a couple days ago but...
After a couple months of prep & a slight Fedex scare....
My 2 1/12 month old Carpet Chameleon from Frank Payne arrived. Thanks Frank!!!
He's still getting settled in so I didn't want to snap too many pics. I wasn't able to get any photos that display his colors but he's already displayed...
Sorry if this is a newbie question...
What is the best way to feed dusted Bean Beetles & Fruit Flies? Do you let them free range in the enclosure? Cup Feeding? I have a full throttle feeder hanging in his cage.
Obviously I want to avoid small insects all over my house...if possible.
Thanks,
So the bottom of my enclosure is mostly covered by 4 individually live potted plants, I've put drainage & charcoal in each of them & I was debating on adding springtails. I'd like to have springtails act as enclosure janitors & I'm hoping most of my cham's waste falls into one of the potted...
I was thinking about keeping my panther chameleon outside, until summer time. but I'm curious about a few things. Any help would be appreciated.
First off, I live in Sacramento California. The weather this time of year can range between 45 degrees overnight and 85 degrees during the day...
So my ambanja Cham constantly has black bars. Temps range are 87 for basking and no lower thank 70 at night. Humidity no lower than 55%. Appetite and stool are normal.
Is having black bars normal for a ambanja his age? they're even there when he's outside.
Here's a pic from this morning.
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Ambanja Panther, male, 7 months and I've had him roughly 3 weeks.
Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? Only when carrying him from cage to outside. I get him outside 2-3 times a week...
So I've got a 7 month old panther and I've had him for 3 weeks and I wanted to get feedback on the vitamin plan I have him on. He seems happy, no stress just want to be proactive if changes need to be made....this was the recommended plan from the reptile shop I got him from.
Repashy -...
I decided to take my little guy out this morning for his 1st outdoor sun basking. I cup fed him dusted crickets and a couple meal worms. He then proceeded to bask while I had coffee.
I noticed he puffed up a bit is this normal? Is it to absorb more sun?
How many hours of direct sun light...
So how do you keep away ants from your crickets? They keep coming for the free gutloading. Will it stop if use the dry commercial stuff? I've read about the moat technique, Vaseline on the side of my keeper...
I'm curious what others do....
After months of research I finally got my first panther. He's a Abanja male and is roughly 6-7 months old according to the shop I got him at. I picked him up yesterday and he's eaten 15-20 crickets and dropped his first deuce in the cage (white &brown).
My wife named him Bacon....because...
I'm new to the boards and I've been doing some research on purchasing my first Cham. I'm trying to find out the best place to purchase my pet. I have a local reptile pet shop that doesn't seem bad and has good reviews. But, I've read good things about buying online and there's a reptile expo...
