    OOOk Mother Nature seems to have PMS !

    I hear ya! Ohio is cursed, we can have all 4 seasons in one day. No need to fear, I'm sure Aug and Sept will be in the 90's again :p I was just going to post a thread related to our awesome Ohio weather. My question is; Do any of you have a plan for your chams in case of a tornado (I don't...

    looking forward to get a panther chameleon

    I am one who must use the AC during summer months because otherwise even with a 25W bulb my panther gets way too hot! When I have it on I monitor the temps like its my full time job. I find I must up the wattage (only to 40 or 1120 lumens) and mist more or keep mist times/duration the same but...

    I'd like a second opinion

    You said, "what am I doing wrong to cause the RI?" Don't beat up on yourself, chances are he had a RI long before you got him! They can incubate for a long time without showing signs. The things you did observe most likely were beginning signs that can look like overheating, stress, etc. So...

    Did I make my 4mon. old panther chameleon more timid and will he always be like this?

    Read Psychobunnys blog "The taming of the chameleon", this may be just the thing you need! It is VERY helpful!! Most babies are timid at first but they do come around with much time and patience. It will happen but don't force it, learn when to call it a day. Id say the mishandling is a minor...

    Freak accident exo terra

    So sorry :( I used the same enclosure for the first few months raising my baby panther. I noticed that gap and always was afraid or mindful of it. I almost got his tail once, thats how I first came to realize just how dangerous it could be. Very glad you posted so that others will keep it in...

    Slugs?

    OMG I know you guys have issues with slugs up there but those aren't slugs! What you guys have are VW sized super slugs :eek: All seriousness though, I have read that slugs are bad for chams, even the small dinky ones we have in Ohio, so listen to little leaf on this one :) Ok I have to post my...

    Killer almonds??!!

    I don't. Unless I grow the stuff myself I can't be certain all my veg/fruit is actually organic. I try to buy when I can but some of those labels don't mean squat. I just eat whole, fresh & raw and support local. As far as grains go, I always buy the same stuff from companies I know are for...

    Killer almonds??!!

    I feel the same way, but I am still 100% health conscious and never shop at walmart, especially for food. Trust me and please don't take offense but there are ways around Walmart. For instance; I buy all my fruits, vegg, and grains at a local farmers market or farm and save a ton! For some...

    OHHHH BOY - look what time of year it is again

    Parasites. An already healthy chams health won't be compromised by a feeders parasites. It is good to keep up with fecal checks every 6 months if you do feed wild caught so that if by chance a cham does get sick at any time the parasite won't cause more harm.

    My room is so hot!!!!

    Sorry a bit off subject but just wanted to say I am very jealous of you both. I want to move to Oregon SOOOOOO bad!!! Ok back to the issue…I am also in a constant struggle keeping things cool for my cham on a daily basis. Its exhausting, I guess basements are good for something when they aren't...

    Chameleon grabbing my face.

    My cham tries to climb up my face every chance he gets. It HURTS so I always have to redirect and give him the chance to use my hair instead. He grabbed my eyelid and lip once and that was enough!! :eek:

    dealing with heat waves

    I also HATE AC but for the cham, its been on almost every day…:( I had the same problem, he was displaying "cold" colors but really was his stress colors and he would gape occasionally. I felt so bad for those almost 2 days it took to figure out what was wrong. The worst was coming to realize...
