Thanks camimom,
Ill try the mist session/shower and see what happens. So i just spray him directly from a distance for a longer period of time correct?
Its funny that you mention his age because the distributer that sent the chameleons out to our local guy here in Utah told him they were...
Hey guys.. So he's eating like crazy but now I've been catching him rubbing his eye all the time... He gets this large bubble under the skin of his eye and then he rubs it out....What does this mean and how can I help the little guy?
So I couldn't get a shot of his eye bubbles but I did catch him rubbing his eye on a plastic vine that I made after he had the bubbles. He always seems to get the bubbles, then rubs it out on a vine and then he's good to go. Is this normal behavior? It happens on a daily basis at least... Again...

Thanks for the advice guys,
Sounds great I will give the cleaning of them a try, i may have hard water though.... Do you guys recommend using any of the water purifying liquids out there where you just add a few drops to the tank? To distill it don't i just let it sit out over night or boil...
salvation!!!
Okay all,
Your help has paid off! Went and bought 2 tubes of fruit flies and dumped nearly all the flies of one of them in his cage. He immediately went to work and started shooting them like a lil Rango!
In summation it sounds like it was a combination of him being in a...
It was mentioned that there is build up in the nozzles... Ive had mine all of 2 weeks and all the nozzles have clogged up on me! Ive even used the spares and those have clogged up as well. Any advice on how to clear them?
Hey guys, i know i know i shoulda went with the mistking..... But i ended up with a monsoon and am finding that the nozzles get clogged or something on a regular bases and instead of a gentle misting my little panther gets a firehose to the face... Has anyone else had these problems? Ive gone...
Ill be a poop snooper for the next few days then! And after work its off to get some flies. Ill keep you all updated with the progress and some more pics! Thanks Again for all the advice!
You guys are angels sent from heaven. Thanks for your replies. I guess they arent pinheads in the technical sense but size small crickets. I have made sure that they arent going beyond the width of his eyes across his head. It is tricky though monitering every little one. Ill stay away from the...
Panther baby Update
Hey guys,
So here are some images of Tobius. I am still a little concerned as I haven't personally seen him eat anything for the last several days....I've tried handing him milworms and have ket his cage loaded with pinhead crickets. Funny story though, I have 7 to 8...
I have milworms and have tried showing them to him. I havent been very aggressive though about showing them to him. ill give it another shot! Thanks Andee.
Hey all,
As promised here's a pic of my setup and little Panther guy. The lights are currently elevated up off of the mesh on the top because I worried about cooking him. He is still active and appears healthy but I've been counting crickets and it appears he is still fasting. What can I do...
Nick this advice is golden! Sounds like this behavior isn't totally abnormal. I was also concerned my cage was too big thus liberating those rascally crickets from my little carnivore.
Im gonna start counting those bugs like they've never been counted before and get back to you.
You...
