working on it right now. How do I make the picture size small enough to load?

Yeah that is a bummer... sounds like it was all a bad omen! That was my first lesson in chameleon care...NEVER BUY FROM A PET STORE! They are not specialized in the care and they usually come with something already wrong with them. I am assuming that is the case with your cham. He was probably...

I went to the nursery today to get a new plant for my cage. I tried home depot and they didnt have anything but a HUGE ficus that never would have fit. Anyways, I told the guy that I needed something that was non toxic for a chameleon to climb on. He gave me a sort of bush... I tried to read the...

Yes, I bought all my supplies from Kammers as well. when I got them I was in the same situation. I went out and bought crickets and a couple of days later the whole lid to the container was covered with fruit flies.. the colony lasted me longer than I needed and I ended up throwing about 200...

Yeah, they didnt sell me the fly food, they just sold me the flies... but I didnt know what I was doing with them and they all died. I only have one cham to feed so I was wondering about how many a day would be good to feed him. He is about 5 months old. Do I just take about 50 out a day and...

so when I get them, I am going to put the container in the refridgerator for 2 days and then take it out for one day and the put it back in? In that case, how long before they will hatch? What kind of food am I giving them? Should I givethem the gut load that Kammers supplies??

be carefull catching wild insect for fear of disease or it ingesting pesticides that can be transferred and harmful to your cham if he eats it! good luck...

Yeah, I have a 5 month old panther as well. I stopped giving him those about a month ago... I figured that they are just to small and not really worth it. If you want to try it, I put them into a cup and would dust them then sprinkle them on the trees/leaves of the cage. Or you can leave them in...

I just bought 500 bottle flies from mantis place. I just wanted some advice on how to keep them alive till my cham can get all of them. And how many a day should I feed him?

thanks.. I hope that home depot will have them, they just opened up so they dont have that much right now! But I am going to go take a look! Thank for the replies!!!

Ok great... thanks so much.

I have noticed my cham going to the bottom of the cage too... I usually take that as a sign that he is looking for food. If I feed him, he will eat and then head back up to a higher branch. See if that helps. My crickets usually dig in the soil of my plants and he will sit on the branch next to...

You are right about the "pop off" skin. The first time I saw my cham shed it was in a matter of 15 minutes. I kept telling my husband that it was like he just Burst out of his old skin! This last shed took about an hour but still pretty quick. I have noticed that he is staying on one of the low...

That is it exactly.... so is it good or bad.. some posters from that thread say they are a sign of dirty cricket bins and others said that they are cleaner bugs... do you know? Im out in the middle of the desert and there are only 2 pet stores out here and they both get their insects from the...

yes, black and fuzzy! Thank you very much.. what a relief!

Well I went to the pet store and bought about 300 crickets. I placed them in the tank and I was feeding them one day when i saw a couple of these black little catapillers. They are very small... about the length of the small crickets. There was about 3 of them. I tried to get them out but I...

thanks, it did! Guess it is pretty self explainatory! LOL

What is the difference between a head shed and a regular shed?? i have been reading about other peoples chams having their first "head shed" and I was wondering what the difference is. I have a 5 month old panther cham. Will he have a head shed and what happens??

yeah, I dust all of them! I was just thinking about only dusting a few to make sure that he gets something but can still eat regulaly.. Thanks for the idea!

I had to stop cup feeding for the same reason. I have him on a supplement schedule and I know that I am not putting too much on the crickets because I cant even see the powder, but he still has the discharge, Someone told me to keep supplementing but to cut back on feeding. I am giving him about...
