Thank you! Great to info to know.

LOL...I knew someone would say something about him lying on my hand. He walks around normally. It was because I was turning him to get the right angle for the photo, so he braced himself. He's not sluggish like that at all. Loves to crawl up our arms onto our shoulders and runs across the bed...

My wife and I have a 5 month old male Panther (Ambilobe). He's very friendly and we've handled him since he was 6 weeks old. He's always been a healthy eater and we've given him everything from king worms to cockroaches with crickets and Phoenix worms being his staple diet. We do gut-load the...

Thank you! Great info.

My local reptile store trains their staff in sales. Not a big deal, but they were trying to sell me something yesterday that prompted me to post here and see if anyone has any experience with it. They called it SuperPig and said that it "really makes your chameleon's colors POP!" They were...

Pumpkin from our garden, 3 month old panther chameleon from Madagascar (well, originally). His name really is Jaxx O'Lantern (my wife loves Halloween...and Nightmare Before Christmas) is the newest member of our family.

Didn't take it as one.

That's not a water bowl - it's his food bowl (worms). We have an Exo Terra Monsoon as a matter of fact. All good.

Ah, didn't know that about the locale. Thanks for the info. We did remove the substrate. As it turns out, it was not obstructing her airway afterall (we checked post-mortem), but we didn't want to take any chances. Here's a photo of his enclosure - obviously we'll get a larger one once he's a...

My wife has been working with him daily for three weeks now (since we've had him) and he's getting very comfortable with her feeding him. We shot this video today of him eating from her hand. Very cute. I love how he freezes when he notices the camera at the end. LOL http://youtu.be/gITfRNt3lk4

Sorry it took so long to reply - been busy. I'm still new, so I'm not really sure how to answer. We were told he was a blue bar ambilobe panther. Does that answer your question? If not, how can I tell? Rick...

My wife and I were thrown (almost literally) into the chameleon world earlier this year when a friend of ours gave us a female veiled to rescue. We did. She was near death and thin as a pencil. We weren't sure she'd make it, but she did and got very fat! LOL Unfortunately, she passed away...

Thank you. My wife is a wreck - second guessing herself as to what she could have done. One thing is that she was a rescue - seriously near death when we got her. We don't think she'd been fed for several weeks. We had her for six months and fattened her up. She was very healthy, but still on...

Unfortunately, she didn't make it through the night. We still can't be sure what it was - it could have been the bark (bought at a reptile store and we were told it was ideal for chameleons). We think she may have tried to get a cricket on the ground and brought it into her mouth/throat with too...

Thank you! Great video. Helped a lot.
