I have vines down there just not too much foliage, he definitely utilizes the vines so the monstera should be fun for him to check out. I liked the thick branches they had to them also :) He likes to hide in his pothos up top since he’s still not used to me. I accidentally over watered the...

You have such a handsome Dude! My baby panther Norbert 💕 first one is basking in UVB so he’s dark.

Okay thank you, I’ll wait 2 weeks. And the monstera will be below his basking and UVB branches, he likes to climb to the bottom to hide and look for snacks but I don’t have too much down there because I didn’t expect him to like the lower half of the cage so much.

I was wondering how long to wait before introducing a new plant to my enclosure? My roommate is a big plant collector and she says she always isolates new plants for at least 2 weeks before putting them with the rest. Should I follow this same rule for a chameleon enclosure or is it okay to add...

Wondering where you get your branches from? Do you collect them yourself or do you buy them somewhere? I wanted to go cut some branches behind my house but I don’t know what’s poisonous/ has sap. Is there a list somewhere of safe trees to cut from or a website I can buy from? 😊 For now I’m using...

Okay thank you, I’ll just observe. 😊

How long until I should try to intervene with the tail skin? It’s still on there it doesn’t look like it’s tight, just hasn’t fallen off.

Thank you! Hmm I didn’t see him eat his shed skin so I have no idea. I tried to give him space and just check every couple hours to make sure everything was coming off okay. If he did eat any I didn’t see.

Looks like right after I said this he had a very big healthy looking poop lol. Assuming it was the stress of shedding.

Anyone else’s chameleon get HUNGRY during shedding? I keep seeing people say their chams get a decrease in appetite when they shed but my boy seems to have gone the complete opposite. He ate all of his normal amount of feeders, plus more. I also gave him some BSFL out of my hand, he’s usually...

Yes I’ve been overly paranoid about any health issues since I’m new to this and have been learning all the possible signs and warnings so I’m pretty sure it’s nothing bad. He doesn’t keep his nose up or keep his mouth open or anything like that. Just a big puff and yawn then back to normal...

Thank you! I got a small one for my room and we have a larger one we usually use in the hallway during the summer. I also got a Bluetooth hygrometer for the enclosure so I can track humidity on my phone to see when the highest levels are throughout the day and I’ll just run it during those times...

Okay thank you for the help I will leave the humidity as is until summer when it really gets humid. And he isn’t holding his mouth open for long periods, it’s more of a quick really wide yawn then closed again, only twice that I’ve seen (scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it lol)...

Okay thank you, it was getting a bit high at the bottom 63-73% in the day time and we’ve only had a couple warm days of 60-70 degrees outside. The summers in Virginia are usually very humid so I’m expecting it to get worse when it’s hotter so this is just a purchase in advance. I was also...

I noticed as weather gets warmer for spring my humidity levels are much higher than what I had for winter. I only mist for 2 minutes twice a day (morning and night) and I’ll run a dripper or do a quick 10 second mist to wet leaves I know he drinks from for drinking purposes. I’m having trouble...

I tried playing around with the ambient temps to see if he preferred cooler around 70 and he started basking more and climbing, so I keep it at 72 now and he seems content and basks casually. Mine also isn’t a fan of the camera haha I try to sneak a pic when I go to hand mist since I’m already...

Thanks I’ll keep an eye out over the next few weeks. It was also really cold one day and warm the next outside as we move to spring time, so one day we had heat on in the house and the other was AC so I think that confused him. I have a dyson in the room to control his ambient temps specifically...

Okay thank you. My first Cham so I had nothing to compare it to 😅

Okay thank you! I know it’s normal for them to climb when they’re babies but still stressful to come in the room to him dangling upside down by his feet. 😂

Okay thank you. Yea when I come in he crawls down really fast like I caught him doing something haha. I got scared he would fall so I put a stick in there away from the heat lamp for him to climb down safely when he’s done being crazy. He seems to use it as a last resort.
