Hi again. LOL i have a new issue. The last week, Poppy finally settled in. She's pink pretty much all the time, she found her basking area, everything seems great. Then all of a sudden yesterday she's climbing like crazy. All over the tank, on the top, on the sides, and she's doing it again...

Is this because when the fogger is on for those ten minutes she's breathing a lot of humidity? I guess I'm confused why it's a problem when the humidity is in the right range (chameleon academy says 40-60%) sorry if it's a dumb question I'm new here lol

OK i'll work on the lights. thank you! Regarding the humidity, I should stop fogging even if the humidity doesn't go over 60%? The fogger comes on during the day, but usually my humidity meters don't get much over 50 even with it coming on every four hours.

Yes the reptivite contains D3 and the distance between the basking area and lights is 10 inches. I basically put it where it wouldn't get too hot from the basking bulb, i've gone through like 4 bulbs because they were all too hot. Why don't I want to fog during the day? Thanks!

That yellow light in the fifth picture must be a reflection or something

There’s only one dome light and then there’s the long uvb light. They’re right next to each other probably about the same brightness

Your Chameleon - Panther female, roughly 7 months old. Her name is Poppy. Handling - I handled her a few times when I first got her and once or twice to get her to move under the light because she's always brown when I put her in her new cage (roughly two weeks ago) since then I haven't touched...

Ok so it took me a few weeks but here’s the Poppy palace! I ordered more dirt from leap so I could plant my plants and when I know when it’ll be here I’ll order my isopods and springtails. She already seems much happier with the height of this tank. I have a fogger, mister, incandescent basking...

Ok so I can't figure out how to delete this but I bothered reptizoo about it and it should ship in the next few business days.

Has anyone ordered an enclosure from reptizoo? I ordered a 2x2x4 for my cham and its been a week and they haven't shipped it. I'm anxious to get her into the right size cage, and wondering if its normal for shipping to take this long.

Hi again! When you said to make sure not to overfeed her, on the chameleon academy it said to feed young panthers as much as they will eat until they are adults, so I'm wondering if I should offer food more than once a day? I tried it today just to see what she would do and she ate 8 crickets...

Awesome. Thank you so much, I appreciate you!!

Nevermind, I found the forum post saying I need both.

I do have one more question. If gutloading with a commercial option (i see that's not preferred but it's what i have to work with atm) do I still need to dust with calcium? The petstore people told me no, but now i'm suspect of anything they've said lol. My commercial gut load says guaranteed...

Awesome thank you! AND BIG THANK YOU because I switched the ceramic to a bulb and she figured it out. She's pink again and moving around much more and ate a cricket from my hand. So i'm thrilled. She must have been cold, poor thing.

Hi Miss Skittles and thank you so much for taking the time to reply. In response to your mister question: The mister is at the top, when I said the bottom I was referring to where the temp/humidity gauge was. Sorry for the confusion. I can't set it for more than 1 minute, or set it for 2...

NOTE: I'm working right now on replacing my bulb with a T5 24" linear fixture and an arcadia 6% bulb as I see what they recommended at the store will not work for her correctly

I got Poppy a few days ago for my birthday and of course, as my first chameleon, I've been stressing ever since. She is a female Panther Chameleon. While she's awake she's mostly dark colored, but to be fair its only her second full day in the new enclosure so she may calm down? She is roughly...
