Did the vet give you any antibiotics to give your cham? Definitely you should go to a different exotic vet for another fecal just to be sure...

Yeah when he had cocchidia, I basically gutted the cage and replaced everything fresh. Most recent fecal was done this past summer and was clean.

So I’ve been babying him too long haha. I DID see him make an attempt at a loose cricket the other day so I’ve been offering him food he has to hunt as opposed to cup or hand. No catches yet, but I’m hoping the same scenario plays out with Jasper’s tongue if he had to work a bit more for his food.

As it happens I had some 8,000 IU Retinyl Palmintate that's good till June! I swabbed some onto a super and hand fed it to him. I didn't realize how the stuff made the super greasy enough for the tongue not to stick, but I managed to get it in his mouth. I'm gonna set up my mistking to do a few...

Pretty cool thread but I gotta admit my head is spinning from reading it. I saw quite a few people recommending dosing vit A like the gel from the pills but others saying that was dangerous. In my case, what would you recommend I do? Coat a worm in vit A and how frequently? Any thoughts about...

What do you recommend for a good wet gutload mixture? Also you’re making me crave some chips and guacamole right now lmao

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve attached some more images of him. The white spot is from a burn a couple years back. I had put too strong a basking bulb in one winter, unfortunately. For Vitamin A, are you thinking of adding more of it or am I already overdoing it? For #5) Should I look into...

Thanks. Humidity is definitely a challenge up here in Boston, I’ve got an evap humidifier going right next to his cage 24/7 and it seems to keep the base living room humidity around 40 on not super cold days so I hope with the misting schedule his enclosure is moreso. New England... dry as hell...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Male ambilobe panther chameleon. 4yrs 1month old. Been in my care about 3.75 years or so. Handling - Maybe once or twice a week. I put my hands in daily for a hand feed or to clean a poop and the occasional chin scratch. Feeding - Feeding mainly superworms...

Females only have the unique risk of becoming egg bound which causes them to die, but they lay eggs regardless of the presence of a male or not. You just have to make sure you set up a proper laying bin for that to happen. Good on you for doing research first!

Well here's a question as it relates to actual husbandry. Flip69, one of the mods there said they don't recommend arcadia lighting. Have you, for any reason, not recommended arcadia as opposed to reptisun or something else? I was kinda floored because I've seen absolutely nothing but good things...

Funny you mention that, I just saw a post on there about how they think THIS place is giving out the wrong advice. Yet one of the moderators there (flip69) was totally against Arcadia lighting because "the product line is confusing and has caused problems". He's yet to respond to my request to...

Does your chameleon also get regular outdoor time? I live in an apartment, so I'll try and get my panther some natural sunlight through an open screen window during the summer if I can, but it's not anything consistent. For all intents and purposes, my guy is pretty much 95%+ an indoor synthetic...

Can you possibly direct me to the origin of these nicely done images? Is there a site and is there one for Panther chameleons too?

I mean, chameleons being in captivity is unnatural too, so. I say if it doesn't hurt the cham and allows it to get proper hydration, go for it!

So this is a moment of hard truth that you might have to face. Despite the friendly chameleons you've seen in videos online or maybe even seen in a pet store or reptile show, not every cham, panther or otherwise is gonna be totally chill. My panther hated my guts for several months until I got...

Thank you for starting this thread and sorry you've been having problems with your little guy. I don't see many threads here or elsewhere discussing chams getting into their senior years, so this has been an educational read so far. Hope you get as much time with him as possible and hope the...
