Both taken, thanks!

I have two home-made chameleon cages for pick up only. The first is an indoor cage: wooden, with window screen, painted green. The cage is set up to be lined with plastic and drain into a bucket. The stand is a little heavy and not as nice to look at, but it matches and it works. There's a...

This guy is sold. Thanks for all the inquiries.

I'm lowering his price to $100 (cage included). I will even deliver within a reasonable distance from Gainesville, Fl. I'm really not interested in shipping, so please don't ask me to. The price is low because I just want him to go to a good home.

He's still available. Here's a pic from today:

I hate to do this, but we are moving to a very small house in a not very chameleon friendly city. So I'm going to try to re-home my male ambilobe panther. This is not urgent, so I'm looking for a good local home for him with an experienced keeper. Don Chameleone is about 3 years old...

You have two chams, right? A male and a female? Based on the pictures in the photography thread, your Jacksons are dehydrated. I would try misting right when they wake up in the morning - most chams will take a drink then. Also, your cage, from what I can see of it, looks very sparsely...

I think Grumpy's outdoor cage looks the best :D It's not much to look at from the outside... But I think it looks like a really nice place for a chameleon on the inside... I just really like lots of natural, green plants, and a lot of climbing space for my guy. It helps...

To me (not a vet) it just looks like the post-surgical swelling has gone down and left her looking a little bit more concave in the belly area. She has had a lot of her lady-bits removed, after all. I've sometimes had female chameleons look a little more empty in the belly after laying, before...

I would start with food that your cham really likes. Sometimes when I first start handfeeding a cham, it helps to rest the food on a branch or leaf, so it looks like the insect is just in the cage - you're still holding it, but it looks more 'natural' to the cham. Then you can move on to...

My superworms are gutloaded with cricket dry gutload - they basically live in it - plus yams, collard greens, carrots, and orange slices.

For my outdoor panther cage, I ended up going with a double-sided 'screen' for more protection. We have a lot of raccoons, cats, and foxes in my neighborhood and I didn't want to risk losing my guy. Basically, we stapled metal hardware cloth to the outside of the wooden cage frame for...

He does look very thin. How old is he?

I believe freezing actually destroys a lot of the nutrition in the crickets. I could be mistaken, but I know that pre-frozen foods are not recommended for other lizards like blue tongue skinks.

Update: The brat finally caved and ate his crickets. Yes, it took this long. It was mostly my fault: I'd be strict and not offer supers for about a day or two, but then I'd cave and let him have them. There's always that little thought in the back of your head that maybe there's something...
