Hi everyone!
Simba is getting a whole new housing set up for the new year, so I am looking for some recommendations from all of the experout there!
First, regarding hydration (misters/drippers/foggers/humidifiers):
I am planning on getting a new Mister. I know that everyone raves about the...
Hi Emilio,
Thank you for your response...
Yes, I have tried a fan, and it helps some with ventilation but with all of the misting and drippers there is simply WAY too much water to keep up with!
Hi MissSkittles,
Thanks for your recommendation 😊 The price is excellent, but is the bottom removable? Or is there a slide where I would be able to place a drainage tray?
Hi everyone!
So, after battling health problems and injuries for the past 6 months or so, I am finally ready to get Simba a proper set up.
He is currently in the typical retail zoomed xl tall (screen top but glass all around). Of course this is what was recommended to me in the beginning...
I found another exotic vet a ways away, and I have an appointment for almost a week and a half from now, but if anyone can help identify this small growth on Simba's nose I would appreciate it.
It was a piece of dried scale he had stuck to his nose, which I attributed to respiratory infection &...
Hi everyone!
Just wanted to share...
I don't know if anyone else here is having a difficult time with the change in seasons, but here in Virginia it has gotten super dry!
I found this little 5" travel humidifier at CVS for $20, and it is absolutely perfect! Battery or USB connection, small...

😍😛🤗Wow kinyonga! Thank you for paving the way for the rest of us!
Simba has rekindled my passion for ecology, biology and veterinary science all over again. I find them to be such a complex and beautiful animal, I would love the opportunity to study and interact with them in the wild as you...
Hi MissSkittles,
Simba is a tamatave panther chameleon that I purchased from Florida Chams (flchams.com). From their site:
Tamatave is a locale from the east coast of Madagascar. This locale has a green base coloration that turns red when in display with white speckling. Tamatave males are...
Silica gel is good! (Think of the little packets of the little white balls that are inside your new shoe box). BUT, silica is poisonous to many animals when ingested, so they need to be carefully contained and kept out of reach...
A dehumidifier in the room should also help
Hello Everyone!
I have been told, and read, that, on average, the life expectancy of the chameleon is about 5 years, but im curious to know how long chameleons are actually living and if they are living considerably longer with proper care and happy lives, especially panther chameleons.
I...
Hello Everyone!
I would like to thank everyone who has helped contribute advice for Simba and I. I have changed a lot this past week and wanted to update everyone.
First, I have an Arcadia T5 6% light on the way, but in the meantime I changed all of Simba's lighting. As I said last week, the...
