Yep, his tongue is working fine... Honestly, I think it was more accidental than purposeful. He was hanging upside down in an awkward position while trying to stabilize himself (to shoot his tongue) but ended up grabbing the prey item instead of a nearby vine.

First time I’ve seen this... One of my adult Panther Chameleons (Skittles) grabbed his prey by-hand before biting it. Pictures and video below! Catching prey by-hand - 3 by NERVOUS posted Apr 4, 2018 at 2:28 PM Catching prey by-hand - 2 by NERVOUS posted Apr 4, 2018 at 2:28 PM Catching prey...

Yes, I contacted Todd at Light Your Reptiles. He was very responsive and offered to sell me the replacement sockets for a little less than $25 (shipped). What I'm trying to figure out is if this is a common problem or if there's possibly something about my setup that caused the sockets to...

Has anyone else here experienced issues with sockets breaking apart while replacing bulbs in a Light Your Reptiles Tropic Blaze HO T5 Quad Fixture? I have 2 of these fixtures; which had both been performing well to-date. However, when I tried replacing the bulbs 10 of the 16 sockets broke...

Yep, that's exactly where I got mine! (y)

Since I switched to Light Your Reptiles lighting fixtures, the plants have really flourished. There's way more greenery now than when I took the original pictures at the beginning of this thread. I have two identically configured Dragon Strand Atrium enclosures each housing one male Panther...

Google "IKEA" and "BYGEL" if you want to see pictures of the containers. Then if you decide to purchase them, they're only available in-store or via 3rd party (i.e. eBay, etc).

@Qwerty - As @trickedoutbiker mentioned, I run a setup similar to what you're describing above. My setup includes two MistKing nozzles and an adjustable rain nozzle per enclosure. Also, each sprayer is fitted with a ball valve to facilitate adjustable spray configurations. I have two...

Ahh, thanks... We sure adore him! Skittles is an Ambilobe (from Kammerflage)... And he's ~10 months old now.

Thank you for all of the kind words. Yes, both are Panthers.

Thanks Irvin... I appreciate the kind feedback. (y) I didn't have any functional issues with the ReptiSun light fixture prior to switching to the Tropic Blaze light fixtures. The primary motivation for me switching (from Zoo Med to Light Your Reptiles) had more to do with wanting my plants...

Thanks @enomis... I appreciate the compliments! (y) The light fixture pictured at the beginning of this thread is the 24" T5 ReptiSun LED UVB from Zoo Med. I positioned the fixture with the LEDs towards the front of the enclosure so the UVB bulb would be centered over the center of the...

Skittles has a neighbor named M&Ms... And he got weighed today too. He's ~5 months old now and weighed in at 47.7 grams. June 2016 by NERVOUS posted Jun 30, 2016 at 3:58 PM

Skittles is ~9 months old now. He weighed in at 204.4 grams today; which is an increase of 73.5 grams since his last weigh-in (79 days ago). Since I've been tracking his weight he's gained 137.4 grams in the last 140 days; which is almost 1 gram per day! o_O June 2016 by NERVOUS posted Jun...
