I think it's normal for a chameleon to fall with its legs like that. Like a cat.

Hi, This is not strictly speaking a chameleon question, since I use a 24" ReptiGlo 5.0 tube for my cham's chage. I also have a second terrarium, with an anole in it. I have an incandescent reptisun for heat and basking, and I used to have a compact fluorescent for UV. The bulb recently...

Hi, I'm looking at switching from crickets to roaches for my panther. Anyone know where they sell roaches in Ottawa?

Any suggestions on madagascan plants for the enclosure?

So no mealworms ever not even as a treat? Cause he really likes them. I usually dip them in vitamin powder or calcium powder too, to enhance their nutritiousness. I think he's still too small for superworms. Plus, superworms are gross. I might have to set something up for silkworms or...

THat's his tongue I think. I've noticed that my panther do that too but never with the eyelid open. I think he cleans his eyes like a gecko, but actually pushes his tongue up through his skull over his eye. Freaked me right out first time I saw it. I think he drinks water like that too...

I was scared there. My guy (bout 5 months old) hadn't taken a crap since Saturday or Sunday (like five days ago). I was pretty worried. I sprayed him a lot when I first noticed the lack of poo on the terrarium floor two days ago, and I bought some cod liver oil and went home today to give...

I'm afraid I have to disagree with the 'kingworms aren't smelly' assertion. I used to feed kingworms to my bearded dragon, and once in a while (out of some sort of misguided magnanimity to the feeders) I would let the last superworm in the bucket go free in my anole terrarium. They grow into...

The two peg-board sides are quite airy. I would imagine they have a similar ratio of open holes to material as mesh, since the holes are actually larger than the holes in any mesh. The top is all mesh, (about 2 foot by 2.25 foot aperture covered in screen). I'm replacing the back door...

So, the enclosure is pretty much done now. Two peg-board sides, a wide open and mesh-covered roof, plexi-glass front and back (with a plastic sheeting door held on by velcro until I can figure a good way to mount the door). Got an umbrella tree for now (will get a hibiscus and a pothos when...

/\/\/\ That's a good point about the canopy vs. the jungle floor.

En francais, j'm'debrouille. I am definitely trying to go for the 'natural' look. I like my setups to look as much as possible like someone put some glass (or in this case, plexiglass and plastic pebgoard and mesh) around a few cubic feet or metres of whichever environment the animal lives...

THANKS! That's a great idea! I'm going to do just that I think. So I guess I'll just get a big potted plant for the base then... Does anyone have suggestions? Like I say, I wanted to get a big stick and a vine to grow up along and around it... use some fake plants until it grew big...

I live in Ottawa, Canada. The air gets pretty dry in the winter so I'm worried about humidity for the chameleon. What if I drilled some holes in the plexiglass? OR had a mesh top and mesh 'windows' at the bottom? I know circulation is really important, but the air here is quite dry in winter...

Hey folks, hoping for some tips. I'm looking at getting a panther chameleon. I've had anoles and geckos before, and I had a bearded dragon, so I'm not a first-time reptile owner, but it will be my first chameleon. I wanna make the guy an enclosure. I was thinking 4feet tall by 2 1/2...
