I will have to agree with Kosmo here and say, I agree that you do have the ability to take care of the Panther you have. However, chams are high stress animals and stress out very very easily, it may seem your panther is enjoying the company of others but I can guarantee that it is getting...
OK,
This morning I put 6 crix into his dish, the dish is now blue so things should be ok, he should be able to see them now.
I also put the cup higher off the ground about half way up his basking spot so he doesn't have to go to the ground.
I also (and no I am not sadistic) clipped the...
His temps are in the mid 80's and 90 in his basking area.
I coloured the cup from an opaque white to blue so he can see the white crix running around.
I came home today and a few were gone, but I have a feeling they may have jumped out of the cup...I hope not but you never know.
I am...
Hey,
Yes I have seen 1 poop, it is not runny and the normal colours. He is brown, orange and green under the light and when he is on the other side of the cage where it is cold he turns black.
I do count his crix and worms, I only put about 10 crix or 6 meal worms. As for temps I will have...
Hey All,
I bought a new baby Tamatave last weekend. The car ride was a 5 hour drive so I bet it was stressful. The last time he ate though was on Saturday at the pet store. I have put different foods in there for him, small meal worms, and pin head crix, he doesn't even touch them, he drinks...
I am sorry for your loss, I haven't lost one of mine yet (knock on wood) but I am dreading the day I do.
You can feel good about yourself though that you did the best you could to help it out. I am sure it will be thanking you in the afterlife:)
Hey Brad,
That makes sense and thanks for that. I will start to use the regular calcium immediatley without the D3. I will supplement with D3 about 2-3 times a month max does that sound good since it is still so young.
As for the Chameleon,
it is a 3 month old Ambanja Panther Chameleon...
Hey all,
I have a question, I have been reading on these forums about calcium with D3 included in it, and people are saying they use it only twice a month??
Is there something wrong with using it as your only source of calcium?
I am currently using the Zoo Med Repti-Calcium with D3 as...
Hello and welcome to the forum.
First off, Get that Cham to a vet ASAP, she needs medical attention. Cham's are high stress and very fragile animals and without the proper attention she may die.
Secondly, at 6 months a male and a female should not be in the same enclosure, you should get...
The Petsmart here is the same way, although I have never seen a chameleon there that was in as rough a shape as yours, the ones here are just dehydrated and in very small cages, (made of glass with a screen top, and are in something no bigger than 12"x12"X12".
Unfortunatley there is nothing...
Hello, and welcome to the forum, you will find the majority of your questions will be answered here. The people here are great!!
As for the mouth being opened, usually that is how reptiles thermoregulate, my beardie and frilled do it all the time, but I have never seen a chameleon do it...
Really!! What makes you so sure?? I have been getting alot of people tell me female more than male. My buddy has a Blue Bar Ambilobe that is the same age and the hemi penis bulge is very present where this one shows no signs of one that I can see. I am interested to know what makes you put a 100...
Here are a few more pics of my cham relaxed. Although I am not sure why it he or she is so dark, it was like that all day yeserday too? Still eating and active though so I am not worried.
Hey
I took your advice and tried what you said Chameleons Tree. I have an older male panther he is 3 but is a Maroansetra, it is the one in my avatar pic. I put the little one on my hand and showed it to him. He puffed right out and started head bobbing. Is this what you meant by twitching?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
So many photo's. My cham has been like that all day, dark and pissy, I don't know why but maybe he/she was just in a mood, I will try to get a few of he/she relaxed but that will be tough...Kind or a spazz, always reaching for another branch or...
