I was wondering if anyone knows of a chameleon vet within 45 minutes or so of Marysville, CA. I saw a post about a vet in Fair Oaks, but that is over an hour away. I would like to avoid that far of a drive, if possible. My vet is clueless about chameleons. She thought that female chameleons...
How cute! He sure looks happy to be up there. One of my panthers is obsessed with curtains too. I don't let him up there because I can't reach the top.
Sometimes my female panther shoots her tongue at water drops. She will shoot halfway across the cage to do this. This is funny to me, because when she hunts crickets, she climbs the screen right up to them and shoots from a few inches away. Nothing she does makes sense. My other panther tries to...
Welcome, Ashley! I'm a panther person myself, so I can't help but recommend them. My first chameleon was a male panther. Veiled chameleons are also recommended for beginners. This is a picture of my male and my profile pic is my female. Males are recommended for first time owners because females...
Don't remind me... I've heard "it's just a dog," far too many times.
Yes, human life is valuable. I apologize if I offended anyone with my "it's just a kid" comparison. That was not my intention. I love my pets like children, so that's why I thought of the comparison. I'm sorry to everyone if...
I completely agree with you. Advising new owners to buy a male veiled for those reasons is sound advice. I should have been more specific in my post. I was addressing people who specifically say "if it dies, just buy another one." Believe it or not, I have seen people post this on other forums...
Is your male a panther? I don't know much about veileds, that's why I asked. My male panther was a demon straight out of hell at 8 months old. He gaped, hissed, and puffed at me every time I looked at him. He even bit me once. Males often go through a "teenage" phase when they are extra grumpy...
Those statistics are disturbing. For the life of me, I don't understand why so many people are unable to research pets before they buy them. I researched chams for a year before purchasing one. It took me a few months to even decide which species I wanted. I frequently read the "buy a male...
Nicky, you need to chill out before you give yourself an ulcer. I'm a high strung person myself, but your anxiety is through the roof. It's not healthy to worry so much. Every little thing your chameleon does is not an imminent sign of death. You have posted pictures of your little girl in a...
I bought my male panther as a juvenile too. He was very skittish at first. I hand fed him to get him used to me. Because he seemed to hate it, I only handled him to remove him from the cage for cleaning. He would gape, hiss, and puff up at me. Months later, my boy passed through his grumpy...
Hello everyone, I am a new member. I have been lurking here for almost two years now. I learned almost everything I needed to know about panther chameleons with the search function on this website. My first panther was a male ambilobe. He is the one who sparked my addiction. Within six months of...
