I've had him for about six months. I know and understand animal behavior as I work professionally with exotic animals. I saw the signs and ignored them because I was more excited to get him out to his new enclosure. I know better then to do that and was being completely selfish ? I feel crummy.

I was transferring my 6 month panther to his outside enclosurethis morning, when he decided to jump out of my hands a good 4 feet onto tile. Instead of moving right away he just stayed there. I picked him up and took him outside. When I put him down he just laid on his side (now you see where...

Thank you everyone for your help and input! We were lucky enough to be spared by the devastation Hurricane Laura brought to the Texas/Louisiana border.

I live kn the Gulf coast and will most likely be evacuating tonight. Has anyone ever had an emergency like this while having their cham? Little guy is going to be stressed oit during the drive but i dont know if I should break his entire enclosure down to come with me or just him in a hospital...

Thats great! I was just trying to help you with training terminology, I train animals for a living so i really enjoy talking about stuff like that. I just got mine and im starting to build my relationship with him. Its going to be slow going lol

I cant find anything concrete about using pecan wood in a chameleon enclosure. Does anyone know if using pecan branches in a habitat is safe or not?

So if my cham has access to 3.0 uvi then I do not need to supplement D3 at all?
