I find crickets all over the house my dog thinks they're a fun toy and a tasty snack. I was in my car outside work once and I felt something on my neck it was a cricket thank god it didnt jump out in the middle of my shift. I remeber when I first started with reps and I'd drop a cricket I'd be...

He's very cute and his sire is stunning! I bet he'll grow up to be very vibrant I can already see colours on him in the first picture.

Welcome to the forum:) Does your baby have a name yet? Very often the stress of moving will cause a chameleon not to eat for a few days. They also wont eat sometimes if they're not being kept in the right conditions so make sure your husbandry is right. How big are the crickets? They...

You can succesfully keep them in non mesh enclousers depending on your climate and he probably does know this, but what he's probably saying is that they do better in mesh enclousers and theirs no benefit for a cham to be kept in anything else. I do understand were Bruce is coming from, he...

They can wander around looking for a mate when receptive. Has she changed her colouration at all yemen chams change colour when receptive. Post a picture up and someone will be able to tell you if she is showing receptive colouration. I notice in your supplement schedual that you dont use...

All my male panthers are named by my mother who wanted them all to start with the letter J for some reason. Jack : Ambilobe male Jason: Ambanja male Jamal: Ampiskiana Ambilobe hybrid male Joe: Nosy Be male I named all my females, just random names that I thought suited the...

If I understand correctly certain types of pothos plants are toxic but only very slightly to reptiles. So from what I gather a chameleon would have to eat an enormous amount for the toxin to have even a small affect. It's probable that a chameleon might not physically be able to eat enough of it...

Lots of bad info out there about chameleons unfortunately. In my opinion this is the best place to learn about correct husbandry so it's good you're here. Most breeders are passionate about what they do, alot of work goes into hatching and raising babies after all. Hard to be certain as I don't...

It does kind of look like he has a bump on his nose in some pictures but it is hard to tell. Most likely he will need medication (an antibiotic I would guess) to clear that up so will need vet care.

You can house them in glass terrarriums while they are young. They'll quickly outgrow it however so seems like a bit of a waste of money as they're not cheap. A mesh viv really is the best option covering the sides with wooden boards like Georgii said will ensure the walls and floor wont get...

https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ First off you can fill this out for us the tiniest thing can cause problems sometimes. I'm thinking after I read this that perhaps something woke him up in the middle of the night and frightened him. You mentioned it was quite warm perhaps...

http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/forums/lizards/1031252-absoption-water-through-cloaca-vent.html Just so people don't think I'm loony here is were I read about them not absorbing much water through the vent to be of much benefit. I've also read somwhere else but can't remember where that they did...

This is a really good read written by psychobunny. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/psychobunny/746-taming-chameleon.html Alot of it will be down to the individual cham.

One of the biggest problems is that the cham will outgrow the enclouser in less than a year. Is it possible for you to save say $30 a month then get a screen cage for him in a few months time? Some people who have made homemade enclousers post guides on how they did it. Do you have a family...

I think you really need to start looking for a good vet if you say where abouts you live perhaps someone can help you find somwhere close by. Chams are known to eat their substrate wich is why most people don't use it especially the type you use as it's not easy to digest. In a severe case of...

It does depend on the temperatures there. Also is the temperature consistent throughout the year. It might be too cold/hot in winter or summer and he'd need to be bought indoors or the temperature might not be right for him to live outdoors any time of the year. Another thing that has happened...

No chameleon is easy to care for but some are easier than others. Most people will recomend a Yemen for a first time cham they tend to be hardier than others and are readily available. It is important though that you like the species, so I would have a look at the more commonly kept species and...

I think most research has shown that reptiles don't really absorbe much water through the vent so it isn't a great way to hydrate them. If his skin is dry soaking him might help with that and it's good that he's drinking. Unfortunately him sitting and tolerating the soaking isn't really good...

I don't keep chams outside myself (not a chance were I live) but hopefully I can help a little. Panther chameleons like there ambient temps around 70-80 so if it's usually hotter or colder than that I'd imagine it would be a problem. Even though they rely on heat to survive being too hot will...

Are you sure his basking spot is 70? How are you mesuring his temps? 70 is way too low I'd imagine at those temps he wouldn't be able to digest his food properly thus giving him a poor appetite but you say he eats well. Basking spot should be 80-85 until he gets older then you can bump it up to...
