So both my male and female seem to "get ready for be" about an hour before there lights go off. They go to their sleeping branch, curl up there tail and rest their head on the branch. They dont close there eyes...they just relax there. Is that normal? or should I be turning my lights off an...

Ive got 2 panthers, a male and a female. My female hates my guts. She puffs up if I even look at her. But my male LOVES me. whenever I open his cage he darts out to me. He loves to be held. His cage is next to my bed, and whenever I lie down he comes to the bottom of the cage and watches...

OK, so I was thinking...how much should I be feeding my chams? I have a male and female ambilobe panthers...both around 9 months old. I feed them medium crickets, super worms and wax worms. I feel my female is a little small for the super worms, so she only gets wax worms and...

Thanks.....that makes alot of sense. And ya...dont worry, I feed them crickets, superworms and wax worms in there constant diet, and when I can find other feeders I get them for treats. But I will definitely start limiting and monitoring their diets. Thanks!

Hey I was wondering why people limit the number of crickets they give there chameleon each day. I would think that they are smart enough to eat when they are hungry and stop eating when they are full. I keep a constant flow of crickets in my chams cage and let him eat as he pleases. Is there...

Hey, So I was reading a few books I have on chameleon care, and one of them talked about inducing your chameleon into hibernation once or twice a year. This can be done by fasting your cham for several days and decreasing the temp and humdity...along with a few other things. It said this will...

Heres my method.... I put a tube that has one end capped off in my crickets container. When I want to dust them I take the tube out and put the powder in the tube. Then I have a small piece of screen that I rubber band over the open end of the tube. I turn the tube over and shake out all...

Hey everyone! Hows it going? Sorry its been a while....nursing school has been keeping my crazy busy! Anyway.....I had a large brown beetle fly into my house today. I caught it, and was thinkin of feeding it to my panther. Do you think that would be OK to do? Thanks!

Hey, so I submitted a picture for the contest, and accidentally posted that it was a female, instead of a male. How do I edit that?

Make sure that you clean the planet with some light soapy water and then hose it off very well. Also make sure to put it in a new pot with soil that doesnt have any fertilizers or chemicals in it.

OK,.So i got some plants for my larger cage that I am setting up today. Ive got a ficus and a schefferla in there right now with some branches and fake vines. It is very dense with plant matter, is that a probelm or is it ok? Here are some pics to give you an idea, but they dont really show...

I dunno why the first few pics didnt load right, so I tried to re-upload them, hope it works this time!

I finaly got a new camera that takes some decent pictures of my pair of chams. They are about 4 months old. Let me know what ya think. I particulary like the one picture of the two of them under the basking light, where the female, Lia is hanging upside down.

Hello, As some of you know, im sure I am workin on setting up a larger cage. I have all the vines and branches set up, and I am now trying to find some good sized, bushy plants for the cage. I went to a few local stores, and I havnt seen any ficuses or umbrella plants that are big enough. I...

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I think if I take little bits and pieces from all of your responses, I got a good idea of what to look for, and what to do. Like ParadlisGirl said, we have been monitoring hte situation very very closley, and it seems that she made sure to give me male...

Are there certain signs I can look for that they are looking to "get down"? Since I am still a young college student, I am gonna have to save up for a little while untill I cna buy another cage and set of lights to keep thems seperate. So I am hoping I can keep them together as long as I can...

Well you need to patch up all thoes wholes, or just stick with the feeding up. OR start doing ALOT of hand feeding.

what were to happen if I kept them in the same cage together? They seem to get along fine with each other. I have been told that if you keep them together from when they are young, that they will get along fine there whole lives, except when the female is gravid.

Hello, So over the past few weeks I have been collecting branches for my new cage. I know I need to steralize them, either by baking in the oven, or soaking them in a diluted chlorine solution. But the branches I haveseem to be too big to fit in the oven, or any buckets that I could use for...

When the female is so small, do I have to worry about her not being able to find food as easily in such a large cage?
