Yeah I truly think he's just one of those chams, because from what I've observed and can see, he's a very healthy little guy and he seems to enjoy his cage when he's not wanting to come out to hang around with us. He's never stressed or dark colors inside so that's why I was so confused over...
Ohhh okay that makes sense for sure! I actually have some mossy branches that I ordered yesterday so that should help out with that issue! Do you think I should add anymore plants or anything too? I have these fake vines I could add if you guys think he needs anymore hiding spaces too? I guess I...
I've had multiple colonies in the past, and recently started up a brand new one from a starter colony I purchased online that contained 10 females, 4 males, and 150 ish mixed nymphs. Personally, I've had better luck breeding dubias that already feel like they're apart of a colony, and having...
Lol I'll trade ya, I have the exact opposite problem where I have such an abundance of males that they look like females due to the constant wing chewing they do to each other. Can't do anything with them either because my bearded dragon is a pansy and won't eat the males (too big/scary...
Also wanna clarify just in case it sounded wrongly worded; he isn't wanting out of his cage like, ALL the time 24/7. It's normally if I get up from my bed, and he sees me moving, or if someone comes near his cage and he sees he's getting attention. His cage is literally by my bed so he acts like...
I'd like to customize a cage myself down the road but will have to be once I graduate in the Spring, so I have room to place this giant cage. For now I'll be making him an out of cage playground/ free range area for him once I'm back in Cali from Winter break, and it will connect to his cage, so...
I'll post tonight once home the old viv setup and his current one. I tried changing a few things out to see if that helped but he still behaves the same.
Also, goal was to stack the vivs so he'd have more upwards climbing space, so I could put a tall tree in there. I know they sell the next...
Hey guys,
I have a bit of a confusing question regarding my 6-7 month old Panther Chameleon that I've been wondering about for a while now. I bought Felix back in August when he was almost 3 months old, and I was really determined to socialize him from the very start. Even as a baby, he was...
I didn't even consider the hornworms being a problem with the biting yet I do know about superworms! They are nasty little buggers, we always um.... would crush their heads before feeding to my beardie. I'll make sure I handicap the hornworms since I feel like the lesions popped up around the...
Sorry for the late reply, I was moving to a new house all week with no internet!
So Felix actually completed a new shed 2 days back, and the lesion on the left side of his mouth looks a lot less severe/inflamed? The area looks quite normal now, but could be my eyes playing tricks on me.
I'm a...
Okay I will order those both tonight for him! Is there a link to that thread btw for the honey technique? I'd like to see how much honey to use, how to apply it, how often, etc. I'm not worried about handling him to apply the honey, like legit this chameleon is an angel compared to some I've...
The yellow had me super worried there for a minute since I've never really checked until I saw the color yellow start to appear on the outside of his mouth. In my older pictures of him, he doesn't have that yellow around his mouth... it's only been maybe the last 2 weeks or so that I've noticed...
Hey guys,
My 6 month old panther chameleon has me a little worried the past few days after noticing his mouth area was turning yellow. I guess I passed it off for his coloring since he's got yellows in him, but I wanted to get them opinions on it beforehand. There's a lesion-like spot on his...
oh my goodness, what a beautiful boy you have!! He resembles my little Felix's color so much, I'm still so curious how he's going to look! I'm glad your boy got used to it, that gives me hope that my baby here will too. They seriously are super smart little critters. In the morning when I first...
Yes this is my fear that I'm stressing him out way too much. I didn't know if the pros outweighed the cons, but I would just love if he could have a separate cage outside to enjoy some natural sunlight. I live in California, so the weather is almost always perfect during the day for him. He'd of...
Ahhh I see. Is there a recommended way of getting him acclimated or should I continue just bringing him outside for 10-15 minutes at a time? We do have a lot of large crows and parrots in our area so I'm definitely not comfortable letting him sit outside alone at all. Every-time we go outside...
Yes, this is what I've heard as well. As they start aging, they become more aggressive, and I guess there's really no stopping that. :[ I just hope I'm able to gain his trust enough to where even as he ages, hopefully that allows him to grow up trusting me even slightly. I definitely only stick...
Hello all,
I am brand new to these forums as I am a first time Cham owner. I got my little guy about 1 month ago and he's been doing really well. He is now about 3-4 months old and growing daily. I have him in one of those large "starter cages" but definitely intend to upgrade once he's full...
