Bluebottle's are a bit bigger than a house fly - I consider them more of a treat- I will hatch out about 20 or so at a time in a small deli cup with some fly food (which she also sells) and water crystals - I think blue bottles would be fine for a 6 month old but you can also get regular house...

For a cheaper change up in diet - I like bluebottle flies - (mantisplace.com) with shipping you can get 100 for a little over 10 - I usually get spikes as they last longer in the fridge- or both pupae and spikes and hatch the pupae right away In the summer if you can find access to a couple...

I get my fly gutload from mantis place - which seeing as your in the UK is probably not an option - but it's a mixture of powdered sugar, powdered milk brewers yeast and bee pollen- plus some other ingredients - I have given them bee pollen when I misplaced my bottle of fly food- you have to...

I'm glad she's eating again- sometimes it a just a simple thing like she's board with her food or her temps have to be changed a little-

Welcome- A lot of chameleons take a few days to eat (and some will not let you see them) when you first bring them home- your best bet is to check out the care sheets and post a message in the health clinic section with the "how to ask for help" thread as a guide - the best thing to do is to...

I really like those little guys - (and gals) ....

What a find- Such a handsome guy-

Petco isn't known for giving good information - they tend to sell you the wrong things - use calcium (without D3 or phosphorus) at nearly every feeding, multivitamin once every 2 weeks, and calcium with D3 once every 2 weeks. Lots and lots of new members start off in the health clinic with a...

Welcome to the forum Yours is going to be a hard question to answer for most of us here because most people keep one or the other - I suggest starting with the care sheets up in the resources section- It would also depend on if you've kept any other reptiles - or are good at keeping plants...

Bug Burger goes bad fast - I use "Cricket Crack" and I also bought "Bug Buffet" both are sold by members here- they last longer and are easier than making my own - to that I add the same stuff I use for the bearded dragons salads-...

Does he have any problem finding his food ? I'd say get his new cage ready make sure you test it for temps humidity and it's ready to go before you make the change and go for it - he's likely to get cranky for a couple of days after the move and changing things around after you do the switch...

I don't get too nervous about a day or two of missing food- With my female Jackson I used to feed her a wax worm if she didn't eat for a day or two- she would eat them when she would ignore crickets-and then I would know it was just her way of saying she wanted something different. My Jackson...

It sort of worries me that the person who you got him from thought that he's a girl- I'm wondering it you got any more wrong info when you got him? Here's the care sheets for Panthers - He looks fine and healthy - https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/panther/

Soldier fly larvae they say not to keep in the fridge- you can lower the temps to the 50's to keep them longer. They are a great feeder especially for little chams- my bigger guys will turn there noses up at them but I got some this week after not having them for a while and they all enjoyed...

Jackson's don't shed as often as panthers and veileds - and it's usually a slower process with mine at least - they also don't shed as much as they get older - I did notice that they all had a growth spurt where they shed a lot (for which ever species) the panther was at about 4 or 5 months and...

Welcome to the forum- The first thing you want to do is to get some plain calcium without D- you don't want to dust with D every day - The care sheets here are good and will help https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/ Use calcium (without D3 or phosphorus) at nearly every...

My flapneck will puff herself out to try to make herself look bigger - that being said it's possible that she's gravid - I have no experience whatsoever with gravid chameleons so I would not have a clue one way or the other - I'd look for the signs - I looked to see if you had posted pictures...

I've never used it - but it gets injected into a bug usually - which if he's still not eating would be a problem- and I'm pretty sure it's more of a maintance thing not an actually cure if he does have parasites - If he does it's always better to treat the actual parasite he has - he may just...

I was afraid that the heater was causing the temps to get up in the 70's - it sounds like that's not your problem- I'm not sure what your problem might be at this point -

He may not be cooling off enough at night with the heat lamp going - It's more likely he's getting ready to shed - they need a cool down at night to help with digestion - below 60 is probably a little cold for a flapneck but you want to make sure it's not heating him up too much.
