    good ficas for cham?

    If your asking is Ficus good for chams then the answer is yes it is safe. If your asking which kind of ficus, most common would be Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina), but there are others like Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica) and Creeping Fig (Ficus pumila). If you are going to post you should...

    My Ziggy just Died :-(

    Very sorry for your lost, but you certainly provided him with some amazing care for him to live that long while with you.

    Chameleon Advice: New Member

    I supplement my Panthers with calcium without D3 every feeding (I feed once every two days) and vitamins once a week. I never use Cal with D3, but my chams get natural sunlight year round. You are def over supplementing/over feeding imo.

    New Panther Chameleon

    The pics are thumbnails, click on them and they get big, however they are pretty blury! As for the cham.. Dubias don't move much so it can be hard to get a cham to eat them from a cup. Better to hold them and pinch them a little. He may just plain not recognize them as a feeder, I have a...

    Eye problem and Sleeping to much!

    I am dealing with a male panther who has a small scratch on his eye right now. I am not sure how long it takes to heal, but I would guess a couple weeks. I was told by someone else that when his panther had a scratched eye he was told to give 20 minute warm showers every other day, and...

    need advice - male panther reluctant to breed

    Ive seen it happen before in virgin males and the only thing I can really tell you is to keep introducing her to him daily. If you are bringing her to him, try switching it up and bring him to her. Put him in her cage and leave them for a few hours, but monitor them obviously. Give them some...

    Eye problem and Sleeping to much!

    I want to start by making two comments. 1. Reptiglo 5.0's are not sufficient for a chameleon that is kept indoors without natural sunlight. You need Reptisun 5.0. The lack of uvb combined with the amount of calcium he is receiving could mean that he is not processing that calcium and he is...

    Housing!

    Cheaper and better to just buy a proper enclosure. LLL and DIYCages has them fairly cheap. You would have to make some major modifications that would degrade the structural integrity of the cage you have. http://www.diycages.com/1915.html?shopCountry=US&strReqMode=execStored&shopLanguage=en...

    Gut loading and color question

    Well sort of. If you were to gutload only potatoes for instance, your cham would get zero benefit as potatoes carry very little nutritional value. Therefore your cham would not be very healthy and would exhibit poor coloration. In contrast, if you gutload with mixed greens, carrots, oranges...

    how long

    As others have already said, anywhere from 6 - 9 months on average, and 80degrees seems a bit high.

    Zoomed Repti Breeze

    I think this question was answered but for clarification, YES a cat, dog, or any animal with sharp claws can tear the mesh of a repti breeze or any screen enclosure for that matter.

    Housing!

    It is ok for a small juvenile panther as long as you remove all the glass from the sides, however they are arboreal creatures and need height. You would have to take out all glass/plastic, not just cut a hole in it. If it is an adult panther, you are going to need an all screen cage measuring...
