It takes a lot of patience. Some chameleons never become amicable, but I've seen even super-aggressive ones turn into little puppy dogs. Keep hand feeding, and don't try to handle him. He probably shies away from your hand until he notices you have food, right? Once he stops doing that and...
I've heard a bunch of different sides to this, and can't get a good read on it. Are T5's harmful to chameleons? I know they give off more light and UVB, which is why I'm looking into it, because my cages are a little dark, but I've always kind of noticed this unspoken consensus that T5 tube...
As long as your nighttime temperatures aren't going under 45 degrees Fahrenheit (American :P) then you're fine. Temperature drops at night have shown increased activity and appetite during the day. Make sure you are measuring the temperatures around her cage as well as the basking spot, to make...
Thanks! I will definitely read it through, but I'm looking for more specifics just because there are a lot of different variables with my chameleon and I don't want to be self diagnosing.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Ambilobe Panther Chameleon, 19 months old, male, named Captain. Had him since November 30.
Handling - Very little. He is on calcium medicine, and I don't want to stress him more than I have to.
Feeding - He's been on a hunger strike for a few days. Normally...
Most chameleons aren't prone to overfeeding. I usually give mine as much as they will eat in one sitting. 55 grams is a little small, so I would let him eat what he wants. Make sure you are gutloading those locusts.
Mealworms and butterworms are also treat foods. But superworms are fine as long as you gutload them well. Read sandrachameleon 's blog on gutloading here:

Also, most likely a sinus infection as Lathis said.

They have tons of rare locales, and I've definitely seen boraha pass through. Send them a message, they usually respond pretty quickly.
Yesterday he was working his tongue totally fine. Today Captain seems to be having trouble sticking his tongue to his feeders, and also coming up a little short with his shots (i.e. not shooting far enough). This is a completely sudden onset. Right now his setup/schedule is a bit messed up, as...
I'm so sorry to hear this! I'm sure the surgery will go fine-Dr. Mader sounds like he knows what he's doing. I will definitely be thinking of Lottie all week.
