Good morning everybody. I have been keeping Chameleons for a number of years and with the exception of Nero my male Oustalet's all have lived to a ripe old age. 1 question.

I have a question that I'd like to ask members. I use a drip system for my Panthers. The water drips onto a Ficus where the Chameleons drink the droplets. My question is whether I should provide rain water or tap water? Tap water has the usual chemicals added whereby rain water does not, there...

My male Panther has been a rather reluctant feeder. However over the last few days his appetite has improved significantly. He's happy to munch away on adult locusts as soon as they are presented. Are Panthers seasonal feeders? because from today his appetite has waned. He's in perfect...
