My chameleon is young, under 6 months? A recipe for roach chow would be great. I put baby cereal, dog food and orange slices in there, oh and poultry feed.

Just started feeding my panther chameleon dubia roaches today. Does he get as many as he wants? About the same as you would feed crickets? What should I feed the roaches so they are packed with nutrition? :)

Is it okay to raise humidity in the cage by placing it in the bathroom? The humidity seems to be low even though I mist at least 2x per day and 2 live plants. Placing the whole set up in the bathroom also allows us to close the door at night and it will be pitch dark instead of night lights...

Panther chameleon about 3-4 months? Do they stop eating? Do they do anything weird with eyes? Does it come off in one piece like a snake? What can I look for? Thanks! :)

He ate a big black fly I caught in the window. :D Another question: you talk of testing for parasites, can't you just worm them one per year just to be on the safe side? What do they use to worm, ivermectin??

He ate 11 crickets in one feeding yesterday. :O Can anyone tell me from the picture I posted if indeed he is a HE?? Thanks

Is he eating enough crickets? Since I'm handfeeding them?

Just an update, I've been hand feeding my chameleon crickets, he eats about 5 -3x per day. Is this a good amount? He still doesn't seem very good about catching, but he has a tongue (other post about missing tongue scared me). I grab the cricket by the back leg and put it up to him and he...

My sister has some questions about chameleons. First of all, how big do pygmy chameleons get? And are there any species of chameleon where the female is as colorful as the male? Thanks.

Yes, I know about gutloading, and the crickets have tons of veggies and fruit, but I didn't want to wait until tomorrow to feed so I put a handful of crickets in just when I got him home. We have Calcium supplement and herptivite, multivitamin supplement. How will that help if he can't get the...

They asked if we had calcium supplements and we do and he said only 2-3 times per month, which is consistent to what we've read. He looks skinny to me, but he was the only male at the expo and the booth was the only vendor selling chameleons. Everything we asked about him was consistent to...

an Expo in Shepherdsville, KY. It's a male ~ 4 months old. Read up on all the basics, so it has screened cage, two lights, USB bulb and blue heating light. Live, plants and we have misted him twice. Just brought him home about 3 hrs ago. They said he was captive bred, panther, blue...

Went to a reptile expo and got a chameleon. He seems hungry and goes after the crickets and mealworms but misses. Is this normal?? :eek: What can I do to make sure he is eating?

The supplements for the sugar gliders are : Rep-cal Phosphorus-Free Calcium with Vit. D3 and Rep-cal Herptivite with beta carotene. I have had a tarantula before so I have kept crickets and know how to gut load. Still don't know how to tell difference between male/female. Do you think I...
