    Screen climbing baby panther

    I’ve had my panther chameleon for about 4 days now. The first 2 days he didn’t climb the screen. Day 3 and 4 he keeps climbing to top of the cage under his heat lamp. The thermometer at his basking branch is 85 degrees F which seems hot enough. I was wondering if he’s climbing because it’s not...

    Thanks, I will! I’m sure he wouldn't mind, though he’s used to larger houses and decks so I threw him for a loop with a smaller project. 😂

    Thank you! Had fun explaining to my dad I needed a chameleon enclosure and sending him reference photos haha. He did the building I did the staining and planting. Then hauling it in past my roommates like don’t mind me, just building a rainforest in my room. 😂 All I could find near me was the...

    Okay thank you, I’ll just buy the full throttle feeder on Amazon. I did smooth down the edges for the one I made. But I felt like a jerk watching him try to get the clear sides of the bottle just teasing him with food he couldn’t get. I switched to a white feeder cup for today but he didn’t like...

    He hasn’t quite grasped the concept of clear plastic yet. I feel so bad he keeps shooting his tongue at the side of the feeder I have, thinking it will go through. Any suggestions or will he learn? I don’t want him to hurt his tongue.

    Thank you! It is so exciting to get one of these adorable babies! The best decision I have made. I was so nervous leading up to his arrival watching YouTube, listening to podcasts, buying books. Just worried I was going to do something wrong so I waited a few months just reading this forum to...

    He seems semi comfy with feeding and he doesn’t run from me putting food in, but he definitely stares at me like I’m an alien and gave me some warning gaping. 😂 Glad to see him drink in front of me so I didn’t have to wonder.

    Thank you! He is 3.5 months. He is also my first reptile ever but I did lots of research beforehand and I am so excited to have him! I saw him drink a bit but will keep an eye out for his poop to see if he’s getting hydrated enough.

    Just wanted to post my new baby panther, Norbert (named after Hagrid’s dragon in HP lol). He just arrived this morning all the way from California. He was a bit stressed (understandably) after the traveling across the country, but has already eaten a lot of crickets and a couple wax worms, and...

    Missing anything? Prepping for a baby panther!

    I also thought this sounded high and only started at that temp because the breeder recommended, I think I will be lowering this though. All my highest branches are 8inches from the top. I have a digital thermometer/ hygrometer from amazon. Thank you for the gutloading sheet! I forgot to mention...

    Missing anything? Prepping for a baby panther!

    I have been doing about 5 minutes for misting but I see some people going longer so I will keep mine around 5 minutes or less. And my light cycle is 8:30am-8:30pm, I mist at 9am for the first mist of the day and 8pm for the last of the day. Also I didn’t mention but I will have a diy dripper go...
