So today he has eaten a silkworm and had a drink, so I’m feeling a bit more reassured. He’s explored his cage a little too, perhaps a little slow/clumsily, but I dunno if that's just me over analyzing every movement.
He also tolerates me nearby as long as the cage door is closed, even though...
I have the big dripper set up above a large Exo-Terra dripper plant (without the pump and tubing). It's all set up at the front of his cage, but I could use the dripper elsewhere if he doesn't want to move. Usually he's a glutton, hope the link works!
Thank you very much for the reassurance and well wishes everyone! I really appreciate it! :)
He’s just turned his back on me to crawl down into one of his usual sleeping spots so *fingers crossed* he just needs time. It's just really hard not to fret and hover all over him! Even though I know...
Hi all
I was wondering if anyone had any advice about de-stressing/ calming a chameleon after a traumatic event?
I’m a horrendous owner and accidentally stepped on my seven year old Panther on Monday. It was brief and not a lot of my weight, but I’ve definitely hurt and surprised him, so...
Ok, good to know! Thank you both. I'll see what I can do about removing as many vines as I can tomorrow. I'm assuming it's the same case for other fake vines with that 'bitty' kind of texture on them? The majority I have in his cage right now are a softer type with a smooth surface and I plan on...
He's been behaving normally since Friday thankfully. I'm still going to take him to the vet tomorrow for a check-up though and get his lungs listened to. But who knows what was bugging him! Suppose on the bright side its made me improve my husbandry. =)
Supplements – Think I’ll stick with the...
Hey.
Soonest emergency vet now would be Monday anyway. Luckily I've not seen any of his strange behaviours today, but if I spot anything tomorrow I will give them a call and see what they say about getting him in earlier.
Hey! & ask away thank you. I’d rather fix any issues as soon as I can and I appreciate you taking time to help me. =)
Supplements - Sounds good. I do have reptivite without D3 I could use every 2 weeks? Or is Repashy LoD enough?
Watering – Admittedly I haven’t touched the settings for a...
Oh dear. Thanks for letting me know about his supplementation. I'll change it up & get rid of the hyD and hopefully it won't have done too much damage.
The first non emergency vet appointment I could get is Tuesday, but I'm going to keep an eye on him until then. Today he wasn't as bad, though...
Maybe I am overreacting (Wouldn't be the first time!) & he has just been super overly grouchy the past couple of days. Soonest I can see an exotic vet is Tuesday so I'm going to keep watch for now. Managed to capture a grainy video of him doing his weird chewing motion today.
Chewing

Hello! I hope you are all ok. =)
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male Panther chameleon. About 3 years 6 months old and I’ve had him for just over 3 years.
Handling - Daily but briefly. He has a free range that I run to his cage that he can use whenever he likes when I’m off work. I pick...
Sorry I'm terrible at remembering to reply! Thanks for the advicebut I've decided not to take him outside. I live by the coast in the UK so there are loads of massive seagulls everywhere. Even in a cage with the top covered he's terrified and it's not worth it unfortunately. Thanks again though!
