    Getting New Plants, advice preferred!

    All three of those are fine and safe. I doubt he’ll be nibbling on the monstera or palm as the texture is more thick and fibrous. Any type of pothos is safe afaik. I am wondering why are you buying them from the BioDude though? Buying plants on line gets you very small starter plants usually. I...

    Toilets?

    They pick where they go. I find mine will usually use the same area, but not always.

    Edible Crickets (Orthoptera) Around the World: Distribution, Nutritional Value, and Other Benefits—A Review…

    Cricket kebabs? They must use toothpicks as skewers. :unsure: I think anyone who has cleaned a cricket bin will pass on eating them. 🤢 I have already reached the height of my culinary curiousity when I tried haggis. (Which was actually tasty but hard to get over knowing what is in it).

    Ol' George with a new Setup!

    Beautiful guy! I imagine he’s thinking about which part of the hibiscus flower to nibble on first. 😂

    Outdoor enclosure details

    Afraid I can’t help much with outdoor enclosures, but I have seen a bit here and do live in Florida, so…. Most provide some sort of shade over part of the enclosure or dappled sunlight. Direct Florida sun is brutal and can quickly bake your guy. Personally, I would avoid the hottest mid day...

    how do i get my chameleon to come onto my hand?

    This is a fantastic blog. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/building-trust-with-your-chameleon.2396/ It takes much time, much patience, many yummy bugs and sometimes, especially with our veiled sweethearts, we may never achieve what we want. More often than not, we accept them and their...

    Help Needed for Recurring Health Issues in Panther Chameleon

    Yes! Turn off the fogger if temps are above 68! Feed 1-2 silkworms every feeding for a bit of hydration and hornworm treats at least once per week…more often while he’s taking any medication which are usually hard on kidneys. Is it central ac or a window unit? If central, try adding a window...

    Help Needed for Recurring Health Issues in Panther Chameleon

    - Feeding - Crickets, black soldier flies & larva, silkworms, hornworms. He won’t eat any kind of roach. I think roaches are an acquired taste for some chams. I gut load my feeders with repashy bug burger. I love Bug Burger, but I wonder if it might be somehow contributing to the problem...

    Help Needed for Recurring Health Issues in Panther Chameleon

    Hi. I have a couple of questions for you while I go thru your husbandry. How are you managing drainage in your enclosure? What are your night time temps?

    are there any alternative foods for chameleons?

    You’ll have to take her for a veterinary wellness visit and take a fresh fecal for them to test. Same as is done for cats and dogs.

    are there any alternative foods for chameleons?

    Oh yeah! There are several great feeders. Adding a couple of graphics below. It’s important to keep whatever feeder you use as healthy as possible with a varied diet of fresh produce so that they will be more nutritious for your chameleon. One of the causes of picky eaters is parasites. If your...

    Fruit flies

    They are probably soil gnats and are the bane of our existence as chameleon keepers. There are solutions though, but not one is going to be 100%. I have 5 double sized bioactive enclosures, 3 leopard gecko bioactive tanks, a couple of bins of extra isopods and even keep my roach colony...

    Please Help!

    This is the correct Repashy - has a Jackson’s on the label. https://www.lllreptile.com/products/31050-repashy-calcium-plus-lod-3oz You’ll continue using the calcium without D3 at every feeding except one every two weeks, in which you’d use this combo product. Very easy regimen and is a fantastic...

    Please Help!

    All of your husbandry looks good, but I have questions about your supplements. Is your ReptiVite with or without D3? Are you giving the ReptiVite and D3 the same day or week? Assuming the ReptiVite is without D3 - to simplify your life you could get it with D3 or switch to Repashy calcium plus...

    Escapee advice

    You are extremely lucky! In addition to everything else, he could have very easily become food for a predator. It has very sadly happened before that chameleons have been grabbed by hawks, even with their humans nearby.

    Please Help!

    Here you go. Sorry your guy isn’t doing so well. I agree about that recovery product. While many/most exotics vets will see/treat reptiles, often their knowledge is pretty basic and lacking with regards to the very many different species. This is especially true when it comes to chameleons...
