I'd like to think there isn't really a set age to move him or her, I judge based off of size. Once he or she is about 9-10 inches, he or she should be ready.
The cage I used for my baby panther was an 18"x12"x20", and it worked great. I kept him in it until he was about 10 inches long, and about 8 month old. Or the cheaper option is to buy an 2'x2'x4' and partition the inside to the appropriate size.
Thanks carol5208! I've been meaning to start using calcium without D3, but the breeder I bought him from (Screameleons) suggests using with D3 ever time for chams kept indoors, and since he hasn't had any exposure to natural sunlight I though he might need it. What's a good calcium regiment for...
I only recently stated using a ceramic heater along with a basking bulb due to the huge drop in temp we've experienced here in Illinois. Since it's been cooler his basking spot would sometimes not even break 80F with just the light, so I added a ceramic heat emitter with an on/off thermostat to...
Your Chameleon - 10 month old panther
Handling - 1-2 a week
Feeding - dubia roaches, superworms and waxworms
Supplements - Repcal calcium with D3 twice a week, herptivite twice a week
Watering - misting system on 3, 5 min intervals. I've also trained him to drink from his spray bottle...
Hi everyone I would like to purchase a new hygrometer for Yoshi, but I really don't know what to get. I currently have a zoo med "precision" analog gauge, and would like to upgrade to something with a digital readout. Any suggestions?

If it's been an over an hour and there's little if any new swelling you should be fine. Most people who are allergic will know it in the first 10 min. You might want to take an antihistamine (like benadryl) just in case.
I agree on getting rid of the 10.0 bulb and switching to a 5.0. Also are you using calcium with d3? If so he may be getting way to much d3 if your using it along with a multivitamin with added d3.
Hi everyone! I've recently set up a dubia colony due to Yoshi giving up on crickets and I was wondering if anyone has any tips for me. I have a large black rubbermaid storage bin with a heat pad reaching 90 degrees F under one side with clean egg flats over it (no substrate). I use Josh's Frogs...
Thanks for all of the input, I think I'm gonna pick up a ceramic heat heat bulb and use it along with a 40 watt bulb. Thanks for the tip LLL Reptile :)
Hi everyone I just had a question about my thermostat. I'm currently using a reptitemp 500r and the only problem I'm having with it is that it turns the basking light off when it gets too hot. I bought the 500r thinking it would adjust the temperature by dimming the light, not just turning it on...
Hey everyone, just wanted to post some pics of my new enclosure for Yoshi. He is my first chameleon, so any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated. He's a 9 month old male Ambanja measuring at about 13 inches. I'm still in the process of purchasing a scale to monitor his weight.
