I have an 10 month old panther chameleon. He’s been consistently dark in color the last 2 days and keeps isolating himself to the bottom half of his cage. I’m trying to help him through a respiratory infection with antibiotics and burns on his back with Silvadene. He doesn’t look like he’s in...

I’m picking up a prescription on Monday for Silvadene. Unfortunately the damage has been done, until then I’m applying Neosporin to stop infection. Is this ok? Is there anything I can do to help him until monday? I know he must be in a lot of pain. I’ve changed his basking spot and the lamp is...

I feel so bad for my Chamaeleon he’s been losing his spikes. I moved his basking lights and lowered his limbs so that he’s nowhere near the lights. But the damage has been done. I tried putting Neosporin on his back and it doesn’t seem to help. I’m very worried about him and I don’t know what to...

He’s 10 months. I wouldn’t be to happy if I were in his shoes either with the antibiotics. I’m just hoping that things go back to the way they were.

I’ve had my tamatave panther for a while now. At first he wanted nothing to do with me, then I started taking him outside a bunch and his attitude changed. He would want out of the cage whenever he saw me. At one point he would climb down from his vines and sit on my chest and just stare at me...

What did you do to change your misting schedule?

I just found out that my Chamaeleon has to be treated for a respiratory infection due to over misting. I’ve got mixed responses from my research and would like to get an answer from experienced Chamaeleon owners. I have a Mister king set up. How often and how long do you guys run you’re missing...

Thank you guys for your advice. He does have stringy saliva, and raspy breathing with his mouth open a ton. I scheduled an appointment this afternoon for a reptile veterinarian visit. Hopefully the antibiotics aren’t too expensive but I will get what I have to. Vets are crazy expensive but he’s...

I have a Mister King misting set up. It runs 6 times a day for 5 minute intervals. He’s 9 months old. Crickets as a staple food. But he also eats hornworms, and super worms. Basking temp is 85-90 degrees . Humidity fluctuates between 50-70 percent during the day. I don’t turn up the humidity at...

My male tamatave panther has been opening his mouth a lot. He’s not an aggressive chameleon at all, Loves to come out of his cage and doesn’t mind being handled. What could this mean?

Thank you guys for the advise. I turned my misting schedule down, and I’ve only had the humidifier one day so he should be ok. He did hold his mouth open randomly earlier, up until this point I’ve been told the more humidity the better :-(

It was at about 45-50% It is a cool mist humidifier.

Would it be best to mist with the misting system during the day and turn the humidifier on at night?

So I had a very difficult time keeping up my humidity in the terrarium for several weeks. I was able to find a way to remedy that, but now his humidity is at 85-90%. Is that ok?

Thank you for the reply. Yeah I live in Tri-Cities Washington which is basically a desert. We have no humidity here which can be nice but not when you’re trying to House a chameleon. I have an analog and a digital. Both are practically in his basking spot. So I will make sure that I move those...

Is it necessary for the humidity in the terrarium to be at 60% or above if there are frequent misting’s? I’ve have a 9 month old Tamatave panther. He seems to be healthy and he’s taken to handling very well. Unfortunately no matter what I do I can’t seem to get his terrarium above about 50%...

Thank you for sharing this. Is there a point where too much moisture can cause pneumonia? I have my mist king run 10 times a day for 5 minute increments.

Is there a point where too much mist can cause pneumonia?

Thank you guys. I do have a shower sheet and my Mister king comes on at 8am,9am,10am,12pm,2pm,3pm,4pm,6pm, and 8pm for 5 minutes. I have a couple live plants in the bottom. But I think the Humidifier will definitely help. As is he’s definitely not hurting for water. Is it possible for them to...
