Still too young to tell if it's a pure ambanja or not. It might still be safe to say ambanja at this point but at a year to 2 years age it should be obvious. Post back then (y)

I'm sure the person was talking about the substrate as foilage. Not the plants ;)

If power in numbers means anything to you.. I'd like to agree with everyone on how poorly setup the cage is and that the pet store guy giving you advice has no basic knowledge of chameleon care and you really shouldn't be listening to him. That cage is maybe adequate for a Pac man frog. Not a...

I have seen discoloration of eggs which I too believes to be caused maybe by thinning of the egg shell. In your 2nd picture though, the 2 eggs look like they're textured with white bumpy spots. I'm not sure what that is. I haven't seen that before. I usually have my eggs in a dark incubator so...

The differently lighting at the pet store wouldn't be the reason for the difference in colour now, and don't change to using those red bulbs. He has started taking on his adult patterning and colouration. I don't personally think that the dark colours are anything to be alarmed about...

Without a doubt that is a girl.

Even if 5.0 were to cause mbd it wouldn't happen over night. But using the 12.0 might be causing eye issues within the first few minutes of using it. So it's up to you: be scared of using a 5.0 which likely won't lead to mbd or keep using the 12.0 which is already causing problems for your...

Your chameleon won't get mbd with a 5.0 and the right supplement schedule. I've never seen mbd with someone using a 5.0 and the correct supplementing. I have seen eye problems in chameleons with people using uvb stronger than 5.0.......

You said you dug a test hole and now it's gone? This has happened to me before where the female goes and inspects it, doesn't like it and covers the hole. She is close. Remember to give her privacy. Female chameleons are at their most vulnerable when laying eggs so usually if you're always...

It is quite common that people buy a what they are told is a male only to later figure out it is a female. And I know that is disappointing for most people which I feel you might be a bit disappointed. But it is definitely a female and you need to make the necessary arrangements to properly care...

Maybe you can build one yourself? I haven't built one myself but I don't think it would be too difficult nor too expensive. Just make a misting system powered by a strong enough water pump and connect the pump to a timer at the electrical plug (same as your light timers). Some supplies you'd...

Depends how much water your container can hold and how much water is dripping over a certain amount of time. Measure how much water you can catch from a the dripper over a certain amount of time and then workout how long it will take to empty the container based on that. Remkon is right...

Could still be respiratory infection even without a noticeable noise coming from him. Check out this article and see if anything seems familiar to you. http://chamworld.blogspot.co.za/2008/01/upper-respiratory-infection-warning.html?m=1

Did you get a new chameleon from the breeder who sold you the one with the missing toes and damaged tail? Is this the same chameleon? Looks like your husbandry is good. Posting some pictures of him and his cage is a good idea. I'm not sure what could be wrong but maybe try some different...

How short is the holiday? You can't have a friend come in to do some mistings? I find a little motivation ($) goes a long way. You could also make your own dripper. You need a container, silicon, aquarium tubing and aquarium tubing taps (You can buy those last 2 from petstores). If the...

No opinion. Just that the chameleon in question is a female. Males have hemipenal bulges, visible enough at 3 months age. At 9 months old it's hard to miss. Also at that age a male panther would have striking colours. Your chameleon shows typical female colouration.

You can quite easily tell a Panthers gender from 2 to 4 months age. At 9 months old it's easy to tell that you definitely have a female.

Baby chameleons don't eat until 2, maybe 3, days after. Letting the crickets run around the cage will probably be better. Sometimes babies are too scared to eat in front of you and the only true sign they've been eating is the presence of poops.

I have often questioned the same thing with the chameleons here in South Africa. We probably have an even more insignificant gene pool of veileds here. I believe every single veiled alive here are born from inbreeding. And for a long time it has been the same thing with the panther chameleons...

Perfect. Here in Johanesburg South Africa I have kept my Panthers and veileds outdoors all summer long even at night (although not necessary, it was just convenient that night time temps were still warm). Only in winter do they come back in and under lights. A word of caution with outdoor...
