On every other reptile plant list, croton is listed as safe. I've seen crotons in other chameleon cages as well. I noticed that jasmine was also on this list, and I know from personal experience that this is a very safe plant for reptiles. I'm honestly thinking about returning him to the...

Feeling a little sad for this guy right now:( he fell onto the ground again and is now trying to climb back up the screen, but he can't do it. I've put some towels on his floor. Tomorrow afternoon I'm going to set up his cage in a way that fits his needs. I'm thinking of basically putting a...

The guy who owns the store took him in from another guy who didn't want him. If the original owner didn't want him, then chances are he was probably lacking in proper care for Gus. Definitely not the store owners fault, he gave me free calcium today to help out. He also said that while Gus was...

Yes, he often tries to grab onto something but seems to be making it difficult for himself. With his back legs he grabs for his belly or his front legs too. Sometimes he sort of sways, but not typical chameleon-leaf swaying. When he tries to grab onto a branch or vine, his pinchers cannot seem...

No no problem!

So sorry for the crappy pics, but I managed to get a few of his legs and arms. His arms seem a little flabby to me, but as I'm new to chams I don't know if I can judge that accurately. I'm working on getting more sticks set up for him, I know it's a little bare right now!

Yes, I am supplementing him and gut loading his feeders. I have read that to treat mbd i will need to also supplement him with liquid calcium every day.

Sorry to be pushy, but I really need some replies!! I have some liquid calcium, I'm just not sure how much I should give him.

I think his growth might be a little stunted, or a mild case of Mbd(as mild as mbd can be). I purchased him at my favorite reptile store. The owner of the store had taken him in because his owner didn't want him anymore. He came in quite a small cage, about a 20 gal and I assume he was kept in...

Thanks guys. He's fallen twice now. He's acting okay and they weren't long falls, but I'm not sure two falls in such a short amount of time is healthy.

I've read that a substrate isn't needed, but I also noticed that a lot of people on here use it. He's doing great so far, exploring his new enclosure. He was kept in a pretty little cage for the first 3 years so he's a little overwhelmed right now lol. Once he settles in a bit ill post some pics...

i was originally going to hold off and get a panther, but I met this guy and I couldn't resist. He's 3 years old and quite decent for handling. I have prior reptile experience: 1 ball python, 1 diamond python, 7 whites tree frogs, 2 African dwarf frogs and 1 Nigerian uromastyx. I figured I'm a...
