    My chameleon has sores on his feet...reason/solution?

    Thanks for all the tips everyone! I am going to clean everything in his cage, as well as get some new larger diameter vines and a different basking bulb. I think I have a problem with air circulation more than the vine placement so I am going to try a fan, along with looking at where the...

    My chameleon has sores on his feet...reason/solution?

    What is the best type of fake vine to use, or a brand that absorbs less water? I think I have Exo-terra ones right now.... How often did you apply poly-sporin? Do you happen to know if using a hydrogen peroxide solution would be bad/good for him? Thanks!

    My chameleon has sores on his feet...reason/solution?

    Thanks for your reply! What would you suggest I do if they are sores? It looks like the red parts on the middle of his foot are sores, but the ones near his claws are just spots....does that mean I have two different problems to tackle? Should one be done before the other? It is sounding...

    My chameleon has sores on his feet...reason/solution?

    Hi, I have had a male Panther Chameleon named Mo, for almost a year now (he is 2.5 years old or so). I live in Santa Cruz, CA. A hot day here is not much more than 75 degrees, cold days get down into the mid 30s...average in the 60s....also really high humidity (about 60% +). He lives...

    Chameleon scratching the sides of the enclosure..why?

    He isn't near any windows, and there is no mirror that he can see...I have the ceramic bulb because it gets into the low 50's at night, sometimes colder and I thought below 65 was bad for panther chameleons

    Chameleon scratching the sides of the enclosure..why?

    I have a 2 year old Panther Chameleon. He lives in an enclosure 2'x2'x4', with a ReptiSun 5.0 tube, a ceramic heater, and a basking bulb. There are vines for him to crawl on to get to all the areas of his cage, an umbrella plant, and a ficus. The bottom of the enclosure has paper towels...

    My Chameleon really likes Superworms/Giant Mealworms

    Thanks for your responses! I was getting giant mealworms when I first got him, but then moved over to supers..i just put them together because he doesn't seem to know the difference and is fast to catch either when I put them in his enclosure. I have been gutloading with carrots and kale...

    My Chameleon really likes Superworms/Giant Mealworms

    Hi, My 21 month old Panther Chameleon (Mo) really REALLY likes Superworms/Giant Mealworms. I have been trying to feed him a variety of different foods, but he refuses to eat most of them. HE ABSOLUTELY WONT EAT CRICKETS. I end up having to let them loose eventually because he wants nothing...

    How to attach vines to a screen cage?

    I just bought a new screen cage for my chameleon. It is 2'x2'x4'. I also just got him a ficus and he also has an umbrella plant in his enclosure. In the old enclosure I used sticks propped against the sides (from one end of the cage to the other at angles so he could get up higher). The...

    What dimensions should a 20 month old panther chameleon's cage be?

    Oh damn, the guy at the store I bought him from told me that the cage he was giving me was an adult cage....that was one of my first questions. I currently have an umbrella plant in the cage that is about 20" tall. Should I get a new plant that is bigger too? Sorry for all the basic...
