I'm thinking about redoing my Panther chameleons cage. It's getting a bit dirty and a hard setup to clean. I think now that I know more about chameleons, as when I originally set up the cage I was new to chameleons, I will be able to set up a better cage. Is this a good idea? He's been in the...

I scheduled an appointment for a vet. He's not eating and he seems sick. It's in a few hours and I completely didn't think about what I'm going to put my Cham in to get him to the appointment. I've only handled him a few times and he always seemed pretty scared. When I took him out back once he...

My 8 month old panther chameleon isn't eating. It's been about 5 days now. I've tried large crickets from pet smart, superworms, meal worms, he won't eat anything. He's been looking very dark in color and hasn't spent too much time basking now that I think about it. What do I do? Should I try a...

My chameleon has what some fellow forumers classified as "superworm syndrome". Once I fed superworms he wouldn't eat crickets. This happened a while back and I was able to get him to eat again but now he is refusing to eat crickets again. I've been waiting a couple days without feeding...

I've never seen this before. Basically my 8 month old panther cham eats crickets on sight. But just 3 days ago I tried feeding him super worms for this first time and since then he disregards all crickets. I've never seen them walking around his cage like that. He usually eats them right away...

My panther chameleon is 7 months old. I am currently feeding crickets from the local petsmart and Petco. I have grown to become fascinated with chameleons. Anyway, it's simple as this. I hate crickets. They smell, they are noisy and I find them all over my house. I find at least 5 each week...

I have a medium sized clear plastic bin from walmart that I keep my crickets for my panther chameleon. I only keep about 20-25 at a time. The smell is unbearable. I never thought just a couple dozen would smell so bad. So I have been cleaning the cage very often. When I open the lid I am shot...

I have had Skittles, my 7 month old amilobe panther chameleon for about 4 months. He's my first chameleon and I am really enjoying having one. I understand that handling for a chameleon is not always tolerated but that doesn't stop me from wanting to handle mine. Anyway, every once and a while I...

I currently have a 24 by 48 inch screen cage. I am thinking about upgrading the size for my panther chameleon. I have been browsing the internet and cannot find any larger. Does anyone recommend or know anyone that sells larger sizes?

I am thinking about revamping my panthers cage decor. Possibly adding more climbing area and scenery. Anyone suggest or recommend any websites that have some of these things to buy?

I am aware that if you show a panther chameleon it's reflection it "fires up" and it's colors brighten up. Out of curiosity, if this unhealthy to do even once or twice?

I just noticed that my chameleons head and top of body turned white. What does this mean?!

My panther is about 5 months old. I haven't bothered him TOO much about handling. I offer him my hand a lot and he doesn't have interest. I couple times where he step on and I took him out he was scared out of his mind. He was spazzing out and he try climbing on the outside of the screen. He...

My panther chameleon is brown/black 90% of the time I see him. He rarely ever basks in the highest point of his cage. Why is he always black? I mist his cage often and feed him 10 or more crickets a day.

My panther is 5 months old, and I have had him for about 2 months. When can I start handling him? I have offered him my hand few times and he hasn't seemed interested. I understand how chameleons are with handling but I am wondering how I should pick him up the first time. Should I wait until he...

Do dead plants stress panther chameleons?

Ok so today while I was misting my chameleons cage he seemed very thirsty. I poured a stream of water down from the top of his cage and he came to drink some and he opened his mouth. A bit after the bottom of his chin widened down and his tongue started spazzing out. It almost formed an L shape...

It is pretty cluttered in my chameleon's cage. One of the plants is dying and I think should be taken out. I was wondering if I could rearrange his cage setup. I think it would be nice if I had more branches for him to climb on. I am not sure if this will stress him out. I have had him for over...

Which types of fruits/vegetables can I feed him? I offered him potato skins, cut up bell pepper pieces, carrots, and lettuce. He never ate any. How should I feed them to him?

I have a 100 watt heat lamp for my panther chameleon. The basking temperature varies way too much. I have seen 80 which I hear is too low and I just saw 91. I am very confused on what to do to keep the temp steady. I originally had a 75 watt bulb which never broke 80 so I had to buy a new one.
