I am going through exactly the same thing. The clutch laid 2 months after are starting to sweat. unfortunately the eggs that have sweated and shrunk (2 already) never pipped. I cut one of the eggs open and there was only a partially formed yolk with eyes and not a fully formed neonate so the...
I have literally dozens of cages with live plants setup with Ficus, schefflera, pothos etc. To say the live plants cause issues with chameleons is ludicrous. For drinking, try misting with warm water in the cage until he starts to lick his lips. That would be close to the shower method but...
I would never ship in the current conditions using fedex and would certainly not ever ship USPS regardless of temps. Did you use an insulated box or heat pack? There are various sources that discuss how to ship properly (google it!) so its not really excusable to do this and be surprised by...
Check the link for pictures showing plant placement. The nice thing about pothos is they will practically grow in the dark. With that much light your biggest worry will be having to cut it back often.
I usually will hang the pothos in the center under the automatic dripper and let it grow...
It might be more specifically, over dusting with calcium carbonate. I have female panthers and female montanes (johnstonii) that are sensitive to over supplementation presenting with gular edema. I do not see the same issues in males of any of the species we keep. I usually dust less...

Very cool Drew! I remember the first time I saw a panther hatchling and was shocked how tiny it was. Babies are still the coolest thing to sit and watch. Congrats!
Looks really nice! One word about keeping the vines lower in the cage. I see this often as an attempt to keep the chameleon in the range for optimal temp with a fixed light but it always backfires. When they cant get any higher they will climb whatever they have to in order to get to the top...
I dont see anything wrong but you could up your basking temp a little bit. He looks good but may not feel secure enough. Can you post a pic of the whole cage so I can see what you have for cover? You might need to provide a little more leafy green stuff either real or fake to let him feel...
Kirk and Shortcake - Ambilobe babies available!!! Take a minute to check the date of hatch on these guys. They hatched the week of 09/19/14. That puts them at barely over 2 months old. They are already as big as most 3 month olds that I have seen and eating 1/2" crickets and slightly smaller...
A couple of years ago I started having asthma like symptoms a couple times a week in the evenings and I would have to stand up and walk around to get the wheezing and respiratory distress to subside. I went in to the dr and got tested and xrayed for anything from asthma to copd and it all came...
You still have new chameleon mommy syndrome, lol. If your average temp does not reach over 95 at the hottest part of the day then you are fine. If the ambient temp of the room stays in the mid 70s and the lower reaches of the cage are the same you are fine. Set the lamp midway from where you...
I have heard that conifers like pine or cedar are to be avoided because of the oils that can cause irritation to the eyes and they are fragrant so might cause breathing issues. Fruit trees are always good and I have been using crepe myrtle for years with no ill effects. I have also used oak...
Doesn't anyone get their branches from trees anymore? lol. Instead of buying something from walmart or target you can take that money and invest in a pair of hand pruners. Walk outside and clip a couple branches from your yard or a local park. The only thing to be concerned about is...
It looks pretty good but I would say you need more branches in the top region of the cage. If you keep the top branches that far from the top they may feel compelled to climb the top screen to get to the heat. That usually is how it works. Your intent may be to keep them from getting too...
