    How old does my darling Cham look?

    How long has he been in your possession? I've never watched a panther grow so I really couldn't estimate. Very nice looking cham though! :D

    how to hand feed?

    Figure out which type of feeder your chameleon seems to like the best! Then take that feeder and approach the cham very slowly. It's usually better to be as low as possible. At first my guy was hesitant to eat anything out of my hands... Found out he really just despised the butterworms I had...

    Im new and need pointers

    About enclosures... I really dislike reptariums with their dark mesh and zippers. The cages look very dark unless you use a good ammount of lighting. On top of that the zipper is a hassle and is not smooth at all. I used the small reptarium so it was very light weight. Every time I opened my...

    That would work 1/8" or 3/16" would be perfect. 1/4" may outgrow your cham if you bought a lot of them and your Cham is not a big eater. Do follow ISA's advice and wash both the pothos and umbrella plant VERY thoroughly. I have sickened my first Cham when I did not know this. Luckily I noticed...

    respiratory infection - how to force feed?

    I'm sorry to hear about your young chameleon. They are wonderful animals and it hurts whenever one is lost, no matter how small! You were quite a responsible owner taking such a young cham to the vet and attempting to do everything you could, seeking help here, ect... I hope someday you will...

    Welcome to the forums! As you already know this is the best place to be if you are trying to become the best possible keeper for your new chameleon! Glad to have you on board.:) As others have already suggested I would add a bit more to the bottom of the cage as your new chameleon will be...

    You should dust your feeders very lightly with plain calcium just about daily. You're chameleon should get calcium with d3 added no more then every other week and a multivitamin such as reptivite or herptivite can be used the same. Don't over do it with the vitamins! Less is more, just make sure...

    One on the way!!!

    A decent sized cup like a white cool whip tub works pretty well. You could dust crickets and dump them in. Worms such as mealworms or butterworms wouldn't be able to get out at all but a few crickets might escape. I think the best route is to throw a good portion of your chams food into the cup...

    How to maintain live plants

    I really don't have any preference on bulbs they are all decently cheap and do the same thing. I'd like to try the Arcadia UV bulbs though I've heard those are 6500k and provide everything a Cham needs! Not sure about what the reptisun are rated though.

    How to maintain live plants

    Most plant lights give off very little heat. Especially the fluorescent ones which is the route you are going to want to go. Get one rated as 6500 kelvin as that is the spectrum of light the bulb gives off and 6500k works best for stimulating plant growth!

    excessive cough and "yawning"

    You should fill out this forum very completely and specifically: https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ That will give us a better idea on what might be causing the issue. Sounds like the beginning of a respiratory infection. Is your chameleon spending quite a lot of time basking...

    One on the way!!!

    You're set up looks very nice so far! Basking spot looks good and it seems dense enough in there. Make a feeding cup and place it towards the bottom right maybe!? Like other members said drill holes for drainage and collect the water underneath with a pan if you can elevate the cage. Otherwise...
