Yes, in the evening, though.

I have had my Nosy Be panther outside on the patio for the last 4 days. It's about 76 degrees at night and 95 degrees in the sun during the day. In the shade about 85. I have taken him out to play on the ficus trees in the sun. We also have 80% humidity here in Houston. He's eating and...

Oops - I do have the baby superworms - not mealworms.

My 3 month old is not eating the silkworms I bought for him. He prefers the crickets and baby mealworms. Has anyone seen them develop a taste for silkworms later in life?

My adorable 3 month old is doing so well on crickets I am reticent to vary his diet...but I'm sure that would be best. So, what is the best starter worm to begin? Silk? My Nosy Be has a great appetite and is doing VERY well growing like a weed eating about 10 small gut loaded crickets a day...

Mine too - maybe we can follow them and compare notes as they grow. I'm so happy with Sully - he is doing fabulously mainly due to this forum's help.

Found this article that suggests that the animals can self regulate for Vit D by basking habits, thank heaven! See citation below from PUBMED. Panther chameleons, Furcifer pardalis, behaviorally regulate optimal exposure to UV depending on dietary vitamin D3 status. Karsten KB, Ferguson...

Well I bought a warm mist humidifier last night and it worked beautifully today - took the humidity to 50% quickly. I have it on the right side of the cage lower than the cage somewhat as an experiment. Will let you know how it goes. Keeping the unit sparkling clean seems to be the ticket. I...

Almost looks like he's smiling!

I am having trouble keeping my humidity up for my 3 month old Nosy Be. It is consistently around 30% despite frequent misting. The temperature is fine in the cage. So I am looking at humidifiers and found this information: "Warm Mist Humidifiers: These humidifiers actually boil the...

A cutie! Mine's the same age exactly. Where'd you get him? Perhaps they're brothers!:)

How often should a 2.5 month old cham shed his skin? Hatched Oct 17th. He seems to be growing and has a voracious appetite. I've had my Nosy B for a week.

I don't know how old you have to be to have a coming out party, but I'm introducing Sully the Nosy Be because I received him today and am very excited. He is 3 months old. He ate 8 crickets right out of the transfer cup! He seems to be happy in his new home with me. I look forward to...
