We also have Petr Necas, who has done quite a bit of field work and study. https://www.chameleons.info/en/ and https://www.archaius.eu/
Dr Douglas Mader, Dr Chris Anderson, and I believe Dr Tom Greek have all been leading voices in chameleon care and written papers.
There are quite a lot of...
What are you measuring humidity with? You might want to get a different style of hygrometer to double check. How big is the area that the dehumidifier is in? How often are you misting? Are you dripping or anything? If so, when?
https://chameleonacademy.com/ Is full of the husbandry standards and many of the podcasts include interviews with specialists in various fields. Bill Strand, who has created the site and so much more has accumulated the husbandry standards that we follow thru information from all of these...
I give orange to my feeders every now and then. I try to go lighter with the fruits because of the sugars. Usually I give my insects the same things that I give to my beardie’s in their salads. This should help.
You can just copy and paste with your answers.

I would say no to ginger and put it in the same gutload category as onion, garlic and mushrooms…while a food for us, not a good choice for reptiles or their food.

We humans are strange in the patterns we make. It’s always happened that new animals come into my life in the spring and usually around May. Perhaps that’s just for cats and dogs. My chameleons seem to come into my life in the autumn around this time of year.
Six years ago yesterday, on a day...
The Repashy Calcium Plus is a great product which contains vitamin D3, so no other source of D3 is needed (other than thru UVB). You would use the calcium without D3 at every feeding except for one feeding twice per month, in which you would use the Repashy. As I said previously, if that was my...
Female panthers are a bit different than veileds in that they don’t grow so fast, so you do provide them more time to grow and mature before limiting food. Since babies and young chameleons temperatures shouldn’t exceed 78-80F anyhow, you don’t need to reduce basking temps. It’s been a few years...
While not familiar with the PangeaCal brand, I assume they are okay. However, the Repashy Calcium Plus is not. I can’t recall which vitamins it is too high in for chameleons, but it is. Also, it contains D3 so you would be double dosing in D3. A couple of better options would be : substitute...
