I was wondering about my feeding. The crickets are "large" from the store, but they really are not that big. They are nickel sized (not as round as a nickel obviously).

First I would like to apologize for not being on here in a while. I do not have my own internet, so it makes it difficult to find time to use someone else's and to get on with my phone eats my data. That being said; Piccolo has been doing great. He is still doing great, but it seems like...

I finally got him to eat half of a grape! I was wondering how often I can feed my 1 year old male veiled half of a grape?

Ugh I have a huge gnat problem! I know what to do to get rid of them, but I wanted to vent about it. I have no money to get sand or the plant carpet stuff so for now I am using a hand vacuum to suck them up and release them outside. Everytime I come back inside it seems like there are more. I...

I got mine from petsmart. There was a lady that worked there (I haven't seen her in a long time so I don't know if she still does) that took really good care of two chameleons they had together (a male and female both were around four months. It's a corporate store so you can't expect any...

So my camera on my phone really sucks, but trust me when I say there is a HUGE difference. Before- compact natural light bulb for chameleons, compact UVB, basking bulb (not a very high watt because I had a smaller enclosure). Light only made it to half way down the enclosure...

Well he doesn't like his picture taken lol

Beautiful boy! My male veiled didn't start changing colors until 7-8 months.

It is not impossible.

While it may be true that this is where they live in the wild, if they have been generationally bred in a different environment then a drastic drop in temperature will cause stress. If she is taken outside in this temperature then it should not be for long.

I know with females if you do not want them laying eggs so much then you may lower the basking temperature slightly. I'm worried that when she went to dig around and then came back up and there were no eggs, that they might be stuck and in turn causing poo to get stuck. If she doesn't poop...

What is the temperature of the enclosure and her basking temp?

For now I would try the warm showering. Not too hot. Yes, that is too cold. Here is the care sheet for panther chameleons.

I would be a little worried about the not pooping. She may have a blockage.

Just to let you know (because I didn't realize until I got them in) the t5 bulbs are super skinny. I'm talking less than an inch in diameter. My enclosure is 24" x 24" x 48". I am very glad that I got the quad. I just set them up last night and the light came on this morning and it is SO much...
