I guess it will soon be time to taper off the feeding for my Panther, who is about a year old now. I know he will be pi$$ed! I can just see it now...(him) WTF? Where's the bugs dude? I've looked everywhere and NOTHING! WTF? WTF? I'm HUNGRY!!!!!! (Then he will resort to namecalling and...

Call and ask them how much for a visit

Here's Smokey (son of One Step Beyond) https://www.chameleonforums.com/smokey-sees-world-54542/

I have two huge pothos hanging from the loops in my guy's cage as we speak--they hold just fine....

My guy is named Smokey because I almost started a fire on the console on which the cage was set with a heat lamp that I forgot to unplug. The smoke filled the room pretty good, and emanated from a spot right next to the cage. He was and is fine, however. The long and short of it is that...

My panther is named Smokey. Shortly after I got him, I darn near barbequed him by leaving a heat lamp on the wood cage stand, filling the room with smoke, and finding this just before the smoldering turned to flame. He came through it just fine, and ever since he has been Smokey.

Can you describe what you do a little more? Do you grind it all up? How? What is the consistency when it defrosts?

I don't need an April Fools Day to try to kill my guy. I have already almost started a fire by his cage with a ceramic heat lamp, which resulted in lots of smoke but thankfully no fire before we interceded. Then a couple of months later, a dripper placed on top of his cage collapsed the top...

Same happens to me once in a while. I have had to pour all the contents of the tub--worms and meal--onto a newspaper and pick all the worms out to put them in fresh, nonmoldy meal. That was an experience! The worms start crawling off the paper in all directions with impressive speed--it was...

My guy started pooping every day in his worm dish. He has even walked on the branch over the dish right in front of me, and stared at me as he did it like "take that!" I need to move the dish I guess, although I am considering leaving the dish there for easy clean up and having a separate worm...

Mistking has worked perfectly for me

Thank you ling ling for posting what is really a cautionary tale for all of us. A while ago, I posted about my stupidity in allowing a ceramic heater to almost start a fire by my cham's cage (hence, his name: Smokey). I did not need and would not have appreciated posts telling me that I was...

If you order fly pupae, you won't see maggots. The pupae are kind of like a large brown grain of riice. They are hard and don't move, much less wriggle, much less remind you of what you see in a dead animal. Give it a try!

I'm live in the East Bay. I have a 7 month old panther chameleon and a leopard tortoise (our leopard gecko just left for college with my son). I get my crickets from variious pet stores 100 at a time because I don't care to be a cricket farmer by buying larger lots by mail order (for the time...

the snake will seek heat--so a blanket with a heating pad under it on the floor over night may attract the kingsnake.
