From today, he was in rare form. If someone in northeast Fl has an adult female panther I'd love to see how fired up he'll get in a couple months.

Be careful... Most people have pest control because of all the bugs so if you are going to try to catch wild prey then make sure it's in a rural area and also I'd stay away from herbivorous insects because of pesticides people tend to use. Basically, you're always going to end up having either...

Chameleon Info: • Your Chameleon - Ambilobe panther chameleon, male, almost 10 months old. Had him since June of this year. • Handling - Once every day or two. Taken outside usually at least once a day. • Feeding - Silkworms, superworms, and small/medium crickets. Usually 2-3 superworms...

She's gravid. She might need a deeper vessel for laying her eggs. Also, if she doesn't look like she's fat with eggs, she could be trying to look for a male. Either way I'd try to offer her a garbage can and see what happens. Also, I'd recommend checking out some of the other threads on the same...

Hey I have been taking my cham outside everyday for sun and lately it has been very hot. today it was easily 97-100 degrees. I didn't take him outside today because I thought it was a little too hot. I thought temps for panthers should be at the highest around the low 90's. If he has access to...

mbd can develop later in a chams life, even if they got the most sunlight a young chameleon has ever got in history. Bit of a snap diagnosis?

I do get him in natural sunlight, as least 30 minutes a day. She assured me he didn't have it, explaining that one of the first things they do is feel the jaw of the cham, the softest bone in their body. His jaw was normal. I trust her opinion, she came recommended from someone in my area(which...

Hi I recently took my cham(5 months old) to the vet to get checked out. His front legs have slight bends in them, but she assured me it wasn't mbd and that he probably had a fracture at some point and it just healed that way, or perhaps he wasn't getting enough calcium/sunlight as a baby...

When I see fake plants, I just think it's kind of lazy. I do use Biovine, but wood and vine dry up and rot. I don't consider Biovine a fake plant, more or less an obstacle course. Other than that, I don't see any advantages of fake plants whatsoever in a chameleon enclosure. If you get the right...

Does he move around fairly well? If it's only one leg than more than likely he took a spill at some point and if he moves fine, then it just healed that way but if he doesn't move well it could have been more recent and possibly still fractured. That or could have been a deformity due to lack of...

I wanted silkworms or roaches but my local spot only had mealworms and wax worms, thought that wax worms were supposed to be better. i guess i was wrong. at least i can harvest some wax moths. those are good to feed on the daily, right?

yes I'm aware that most feeders are higher in phosphates unless gutloaded with proper foods that's why calcium supplementation is sometimes necessary. I was only trying to say that crickets are supposedly more nutritious than most other feeders I think with the exception of pinkies. At least...

*5 month old

Also I have a reptiglo 5 linear Uvb bulb and a 70 watt basking bulb. and the basking temp is right under 90 the cooler areas of the viv get around 70. Is my cham getting less UVB because it passes through the top of the screened enclosure? If so, wouldn't it make more sense to use a 10? What...

Well I've only had him for about six days now but I havnt taken him outside for natural uv yet... Didn't know it was absolutely necessary. The crickets from what I was told at a local store were gutloaded, don't know with what... It is a store that has other reptiles so obviously the more common...

Just wondering what people think about rep-cal stuff, I got rep-cal and herbivite and it says on the containers to mix them 1:1. is that recommended for a six month old ambilobe? How often should the multi-vitamin and calcium with d3 be used? I've read 1-2 times a month but does that mean for...

how are veileds the best to start with? they are some of the meanest, that's for sure.
