I just found this video and was wondering if anyone can shed a little more light on if this is just unique to subspecies of Panther Chameleons, or if all chameleons possess this ability and use the same method. Video Explaining Color Change By Nano-Crystals...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I keep a lot of reptiles, mostly consisting of ball pythons and boa constrictors and enjoy keeping them, but chameleons have so much personality and a much wider range of colors...really amazing!

I am really liking chameleon ownership, this little guy has so much personality! Even though he is still really young, his colors are starting to come in nicely. Here he is on 4/11/15 Here he is on 4/20/15 after a shed And here he is today, 5/21/15 after a second shed in my...

Hello everyone, My little guy just shed for the first time in my care and I am just starting to see his potential. All the shed came off completely with no problem and he seems very healthy and is still eating like a champ. I really want to name him Blue Man, but will have to wait a while...

I'm new on here, but have done a lot of research on this very topic, and I use reverse osmosis water for my animals and plants. I'm sure many members on here use ro or distilled water in their misting systems (which is the primary or only water source) with no ill effects, as long as the...

Thanks, yes he is an Ambilobe. I know he may or may not end up looking similar to the sire, but here is a picture of dad. This is the breeders picture and not my own.

No problem, thanks for the reply. No matter how many pictures I have looked at, it is difficult for me to tell without a female here for a side by side comparison. So glad he is a boy! Thank you

Ask and you shall receive. I know I went a little overboard with the pictures, but this should give a good idea of the colors he has managed so far and how the tail meets the body. It is so weird, he colors up outside his enclosure, but then goes back to shades of gray once I put him back. He...

Hello, I recently received a baby panther chameleon that is around 4 months old. I took a couple pictures while it was basing after a mist. It should be a male, but just wanted to confirm this by someone that has been doing this for a while since I am new and paid more to get a male. He...

Also, in addition to the above responses, I took the temperature of this little guy while he was basking today with an infrared temp gun. He registered a high temp of around 91-92 F on the animal itself. This leads me to believe that the top basking area is about the right height and the light...

Thank you for your suggestions. I will definitely adjust my calcium and vitamin supplementation accordingly and perhaps add more cover/horizontal branches. The setup is basically how I had it. The breeder hated the idea of any enclosure made of glass and said the metal halide light can make...

Hello, I am new and posted for the first time today here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/new-here-chameleons-140190/ I just wanted to say that I live in Michigan and currently work as a Corrections Deputy in a county jail. I am finishing up my Bachelor's Degree in criminal justice and...

Hello, I have been keeping other reptiles for a while now, but have recently decided to delve into the challenge of keeping a panther chameleon. I did a lot of research and carefully weighed the pros and cons of different set ups and equipment. I have had the enclosure up and going for...
