Hmmm, okay. LOL I have to confess I fed her a LOT ( everything she could eat) a few months ago and her temps have always been, and still are, in the upper 80's. My igorance of this makes me surprised she has not laid. Her eating tapered off about 2 months ago. I recently started feeding her...

Okay so my Female Panther Cham is about to turn 1 year old and she has yet to be gravid / lay eggs. I honestly don't want her to because I have no plans on breeding her, but I was just curious if anyone has heard of Females who never lay? I have been weighing her religiously for the past 2...

Oh wow, she's super pretty! Love the blue barring.

Thanks for the info Jann! I think I will start feeding her 3 times per week too and see how that pans out. As far as her being gravid, I don't think she is, but I am no expert either. I have been weighing her for about the last 2 months and she has been staying a consistent 84g. I can't feel any...

Okay so my female Panther is about 1 year old now and her eating has been tapering off the past few months. I know this is normal because she is reaching adulthood. She seems to only eat about 1-2 crickets a day, which I have had several other Cham owners tell me that there adults eat about that...

I would definitely not worry about the sleeping early thing. I have seen my Female Panther go to sleep around 4 a few times in the past, and then some nights she will stay up until 9 or later. It just happens. And yes it does freak you out, but your little guy is fine. If he is starting to sleep...

Adding another update to this story. Just cleaned his poo out today and there was another rock in it!!!:eek: I was afraid of this. It was quite smaller than the other one. Hmm, he is acting really active and he ate way more today than he has in the time since I saw the first rock swallowing...

Honestly a little bit of both. Both of my Chams were pretty ill, but the vets really seem to know more about Iguanas and Turtles. Two of those vets didn't even know the species of my Chams, that's a red flag for me. Yes I really need to find a good Herp vet with Cham knowledge.

Thanks everyone! I am so relieved. I swear he is going to end up giving me an ulcer. He is constantly nibbling on leaves of the plant and gnawing on stuff. I just hope that was the only rock inside of him. After all I only caught him eating one rock. I am glad I did catch him in the act though...

A few days ago I posted up an emergency thread about my 7 month old Male Panther ingesting a rock. I had smaller polished rocks in his aboricola pot when he was a baby and planned on putting bigger ones in there after he reached a certain size. Well about 4 days ago I walked in and saw him grab...

Thanks for the help, both of you. I might try to get him in sometime this week. I guess I will call the only herp doc I "somewhat" trust for this. At least I know he has dealt with impactions and rock swallowing in Beardies and turtles. The rock was pretty small ( 3/8 of an inch was probably a...

Thanks for the reply. Well the rock is definitely small and round so I am hoping he can pass it pretty easily. I hate so bad to take him to a vet because all of the Herp vets in my area seem completely stupid when it comes to Chameleons. The last vet I went to did not even know what species my...

Okay so this morning I walk in to my spare bedroom, look at my 7 month old Panther Cham and he is gnawing on a rock from the plant pot that's in his cage. I freak out and reach in there only to have him swallow the thing right down. It looked to be about 3/8 inch rock. I am stupid for leaving...

Yeah man no worries. From what I have read in the past they all tend to do this. My female Panther was eating like 7-10 a day and as soon as she turned 8 months old she went right down to eating like 2-3 a day. I freaked out about it, but she is active, she drinks, poop looks awesome, and after...

I Seriously would not worry too much. I have a 6.5 month old Nosy Be and he honestly is not much different in size than yours. He is quite the skinny little dude but he has good appetite. I think they are just like any other animal, they just grow at different speeds and sometimes you end up...

Thanks! She is a little booger! LOL! She doesn't like anyone either. Your Cham is quite the stunner too. I love her blue cheeks :D

Definitely a great idea. I have something similar. I know a few of you were wanting a 24X24. A kitchen base cabinet is that size. This is what I used. You put a drain in the bottom of your cage, make your own top for the cabinet and cut a hole through it and put a drain pan in the upper drawer...

True that! I love my little girl. Here is Chloe my Nosy Be. Her Daddy is Plasma from Kilgours Chameleons.

Glad I could be of help! :D I have vinyl in all of my cages. It makes the best cage bottom ever for Chams.

Really? They are small enough to get through screening? Are they gnats?
