    Too much handling?

    I agree with Muddy, the first thing I'd do is put his cage on a stand and get him up into the air over your heads so he can feel safer.

    DIY rain attachment

    Pictures would be great, I made a simple DIY raindome as well and my cham definitely likes it more than the normal mist king nozzle spray. But I came across the same issue you did, it doesn't cover a large enough area. So pics please!

    Looks like she's rubbing her eye on the vine to me.

    Best artificial plant to hold water?

    Has anyone else seen the new National Geographic line in petsmart? I stopped to grab a couple crickets and saw some new cool items, but I wasn't sold on them. There was this...

    Bulging panther eyes

    Could be that he's going to shed. I always used to think my cham had some kind of infection because his eyes would become wrinkly and baggy like what your picture shows. Instead, I've decided that its actually a precursor to a shed.

    Best way to give Reptaboost

    In my experience, my cham will not drink from the syringe so I take a credit card and slip it between his lips and place the syringe past the front of his mouth to the front of the throat and then shoot the liquid down the throat. It's a small amount of liquid so it shouldn't be a problem.

    Fertilizer... Yum

    I've had this problem and fixed it by buying the window screening they sell at lowes or home depot and just cut out a large square piece, cut a line down the middle of it without completely separating it. Then wrap it around the top of the plant and zip tie the two sides together. It still...

    Panther Chameleon Help?

    I'd say it's a patch of shed forming. His whole body should be covered very soon. Only reason for it not to be a shed is if it has been there for a prolonged amount of time.

    Live Plant Smell?

    Does the pot the plant sits in have holes on the bottom for drainage? Also, when you repotted the plant did you place some rocks on the bottom to help with drainage? If not I'd say it's root rot.

    Chameleon hesitant when placing his hind legs

    Thanks Carlton I appreciate the response. His grip does seem just a tad weak but it's not like its nonexistent. I have millions of photos of him so I'll take a look at some of the old ones, although he is my first chameleon and I just take the size of his limbs as how much he's grown. But you're...

    Chameleon hesitant when placing his hind legs

    Hey guys so Renley's having some problems lately with his hind legs. While moving he will hold on with three limbs but when it comes to placing his last hind leg sometimes he will just hold it over the branch and hover over it as if he doesn't know where the branch is or where to place his foot...

    huffing?

    My boy's huffed since day one. Its tough to figure out exactly why he does it cause like you said he jumps on out of the cage but then there's always a huff in between him getting on my hand and then placing him on the free range. There were times where I'd hear him huff from the cage but that's...

    What should I do???

    Yes that's what I thought when I looked at your pictures. From looking at the forums I've seen multiple threads like this and the answer to why the chameleon is so dark was because of its environment/viv. Change it around and make it adequate for your chameleon and see if it makes a difference...

    What should I do???

    You can just put a plant and a vine into a cage and think the chameleons going to be happy. They like to navigate their way from bottom to top and all around again so you NEED to provide more options other than just a plant and a vine. Look at these cages for...

    getting exciting and slightly stressed

    Best way to secure those bamboo branches is to drill a hole in them and then slip a twist tie through and attach to the screen that way. The way you attached the wiring around the branches may cause problems for your cham moving throughout the cage. At least tie the wiring around the ends so...

    First Panther

    The first thing I notice is that your basking light is very close to your chameleon. With the ladder setup like that you should at least has ~10-12inches of space between the bulb and the cham. You can either lower the ladder using twist ties or suspend the clamp lamp. Also you can add a live...
