Female Question
Females: Okay so what should I do in the event that I decide to go with a female? I have read that you should have a pan of Calcium rich sand for them to lay their eggs in or she will die if they don't have sand to lay their eggs into. Now should I have such sand in the cage...
Got Most of the Supplies
Okay here are a few pics of the supplies I got. Terraium that I pointed out from Lilreptile ordered and should be here this week. Fluker Digital Temp and Humidity sensors ordered as well as the misting system. I decided to buy 2 misting system so have 1 at top...
Oh snap! As you said no heat unless needed. I understand that but what I'm concerend about is if the IR light I picked it okay. Please give input on this.. I would like to know if such things are dangerous or not ideal so I can make sure that if any added heat is done right at night time.
Location: Atascadero, CA (North America)
This is a very hot and humid zone. Though winter nights and some days can be very cold. My home office is very humid due to the 5 computer systems I have running at all times so it being a low traffic area (no pets or kids allowed) and warm during...
From what I have read a Chameleon will NOT over eat. However the types of food he is given is to eat is an important issue.
3-5 Live crickets in his habitat and a worm 2-3 times a week is ideal I have been told here.
But according to science they do not over eat. Which is cool.

Oh and pictures... I have plans to even do a web-cam 24/7 of my pet so pictures will also be presented along with its video feed. So expect to see plenty of media once I gat him home.
Excellent!
Okay I'll fold under pressure here and I want (like I said a happy enviroment) to make my pet very happy...
Large Habitat
Please give input. I will stick with the high quality temp meters and humidity meeters and will re-locate the location in my office the room needed for...
No I have not seen a full size panther and see that it gains to 13" but that is if its tail that is normally wound up is extended and if extented is wrapped around a branch. The habitat that I have pointed out is actually designed for "a" Chameleon and I'm not looking to install some huge...
Okay now my "basic" understanding and the information that you pointed out again says tree/bush climber. Now I plan to run all kinds of vines and branches all over inside the habitat allowing him to climb all over the place. But in personal theory and from what I have read they climb to...
Panters from what I have read at National Geographics are the ones found near the forest floors. They usually are found in bushes and scrubs and not of the higher in tree types. So I'm confussed here as to if a higher habitat will be required for him. They are likey to drop to the ground in...
Too Many Crickets
From what I have read too many crickets is a bad thing.. They will eat his flesh and since yours isn't moving he would be a easy target. So I wouldn't go tossing in 15 crickets.
I'm about to buy my first chameleon (Panther) and would like a few tips on doing so.. I plan to buy everything he will need right off without delay.
Now for a few questions on a Aquarium I have my eyes on but first let me say that my tempature zone here is very Hot during the summer and "can"...
