Where can I get preformed A? It’s Spanish moss and really The plan was to have it temporary for a few months until the plants grow in. I felt like it was very bare and he wasn’t able to hide. He loves sleeping in there on the other side facing into the cage it’s open so it’s like a little cave lol.

He gets repti calcium without d3 and bee pollen. His UVB is about 6 months old so he’s probably due for a new one and I don’t have a solar meter but the UVB is 6 inches away from his back when he’s basking

Hi so I’ve been noticing two new behaviors in my Panther chameleon who is slightly older than 1 year. I got him at 4 months and these new behaviors are fairly recent. I’m wondering if these are normal behaviors or not? The first thing I have noticed is a weird shed cycle. He will shed his 4...

Update - He’s been completely normal for as long as I’ve seen today and even ate a cricket this morning shooting his tongue. I also have checked multiple times for visible signs of RI and don’t see much problems.

idk but his mouth was closed. He doesnt hiss at me a whole lot anymore but when he was younger he was more fiesty and would open his mouth real big and hiss lol

in the last month there has been 3 times when I get near him with my hand usually he gets defensive but I noticed there were a few times where he kinda sneezed at me. I have only ever heard it when he was in defensive mode next to my hand

Yeah I really would hate to see that. Glad its fine now

The only bug he has ate since last confirming his tongue was 100% working were crickets. So how does a vet test to see if there is a RI

Crickets (main diet), superworms about 3 a week, he recently had about 5 horn worms in the last week because I bought a 5 pack and 1 grew to a very large size and I made sure to feed all hornworms in a plastic cup. He refuses to eat discoid roaches. also he ate a wax worm from my hands yesterday...

he did this for 5-10 minutes and his tongue is back in his mouth like normal

as of this morning before I noticed issues he ate fine. But to be fair I fed him I turned around and back around and he had a cricket in his mouth then I left out the door to work. Yesterday he ate out of my hand which was a big step for him overcoming how scary I am. I supplement repticalcium...

10 month male panther chameleon. I just noticed today his mouth is slightly open and his tongue is hanging out a little bit. Is this a raspatory infection?

You’re right about that. There are things around him that are a little bit higher than him. There’s some shelvings that hold the wires from the lights and a dripper held up above. It also doesn’t help that I’ve installed a vine outside his enclosure that he hangout on
