    brought home 3mo old panther chameleon yesterday, sleeping a lot

    Well you should never mist during the day. To provide him with hydration a dripper would be great. You can see a hydration schedule in the bottom left of the attached image. Your best bet is, as MissSkittles said above, lift his enclosure up off the ground, give him some bugs and a dripper and...

    Of course!! Your little one is super cute! I’d love to help you out, and am sure others would too, so I’m going to ask you to fill out a husbandry review. I know it’s a lot of work to fill out, but this will help us understand what needs to be done for your cute baby! Chameleon Info: Your...

    brought home 3mo old panther chameleon yesterday, sleeping a lot

    Do you have pics you could share of him doing this? When chameleons are SUPER stressed out they close their eyes, so sounds like it could be that to me. If it is this, I would think it would be suggested to leave him alone, leave bugs in his enclosure, and let him get used to things. Pics will...

    Help with new enclosure for less problems with mold

    Are you talking about the white on the screen? I’m not really seeing mold. If that white mark on the screen is what you’re talking about, I think it’s just from harder water. My screens get that in some places too.

    Silkworms as a feeder?

    Just FYI, it seems you posted two threads of the same question. I’ll reply to this one but it might be a good idea to delete the other :) While all chams benefit from a varied diet, silkworms can indeed make for a staple feeder, and can “replace” crickets. As long as you also give other options...

    Female panther ready to breed?

    Well, we know it’s safe to say she’s receptive, so it could be anytime now that she’ll start to show gravid colors. I have had a tricky time with this with my girl, as she’s faked me out once or twice. I know several people who have a 1-2 year old heathy and happy girl who has never laid them...

    Mr. Puff absolutely hates misting time

    So what then happens with your male panther? Does he not know and get blasted with mist? Or does he just take it? I’ve gotta know 🤣

    Soilmoist - safe?

    Can someone tell me if soilmoist (see pics) is safe to use to hydrate my crickets? I posted about this in a Facebook chameleon group and nobody seemed to know that you could use water crystals for hydration. I know lots of people use the miracle gro ones but these are all I could find. Thanks...

    Black soldier fly larvae & bluebottle fly bedding

    Hi everyone! Super quick question – I just received an order of blue bottle fly spikes from rainbow mealworms and in the bag that they come in there is not a lot of bedding. I’m just wondering what I should get for them when I transfer them into a deli cup? The same question also applies to...

    Female panther ready to breed?

    Yes, to my knowledge, even if they aren’t just ready to lay it’s good for them to be used to it in there before they need to use it :)

    Branch Sizes

    I absolutely love and swear by Australian umbrella plants! They provide great coverage and the perfect width branches (stems?) for chams with slightly smaller feet like female panthers or adult hoehnelii! They grow FAST too!

    Refusing crickets and dubia roaches

    She actually has had blue bottle flies before (I accidentally allowed 250 to pupate lol) so she got a taste for those. Not bsf larvae which I want to try as well, but in the meantime until they arrive, should I still only offer crickets and dubias even if she refuses?

    Refusing crickets and dubia roaches

    Alright I stopped cold turkey with her and the supers. She is not happy and wants a fix stat. I won’t but she hasn’t eaten in the last two days because she’s refusing the crickets and dubias. Do I just keep letting her not eat until she breaks? Lol

    Okay sounds good! I will cut her off cold turkey and only offer crickets and dubias. Thank you :)

    Refusing crickets and dubia roaches

    Thanks for the advise! I have tried silkworms and she does like them, they’re just a pain to get. Would you recommend I just offer the crickets and dubias and no superworms so she has to eat them?

    Refusing crickets and dubia roaches

    Hi everyone! Hope you’ve all been well! So my happy and healthy 7 month old female ambilobe panther has been pretty picky with her food. Ever since I gave her one superworm, she wants nothing to do with her crickets and doesn’t bat an eye at dubia roaches. She only wants superworms all day...

    Egg sweating?

    I think you’re doing everything right and am glad you are trying to care for it. Not sure if you have a Facebook but there is a group called Chameleon Babies 101 and there are some pretty helpful people, you could try posting this there and see if anyone has had experience with this sort of...
