I'm looking to replace crickets with dubias. I had no idea they were hard to digest.:eek: do you think I should only put roaches in his cup until he eats? Or will he starve himself in protest?
When I bought them I thought he would go nuts for them but so far no.
Thank you for all of your...
I will try flipping one over and see how he likes that. As far as a screen goes do you just put one in a deep deli cup? He's been obsessed with black soldier fly larva and I'm worried they aren't good as a main food source.
Any tips on getting my panther to eat dubias? Since they don't move much in the feeding bowl my chameleon doesn't seem to be interested in eating them. I hope I don't have a panther that doesn't like them. Since I got 100 mixed a few days ago and already love them. The males are a little creepy...
Thought I'd give a little update :D
Jellybean (named by my fiancé) got his cage cleaned and decided to show me some color! He is 12 weeks 5 days (DOH 5-15-14) The lights look a lot closer than they are, so no worries about burns. :D
I know this is a horrible picture, I had to move quick...
This is from last week. https://www.chameleonforums.com/attachments/general-photography/100472d1407468703-cant-help-myself-image.jpg
That is a close up but you can clearly see the size increase. Maybe not 2.5 inches but you try to measure a 12 week old chameleon and tell me how accurate you...
I've been busy with work (12-16 hour shifts) but today I was able to get some pics of my ambilobe panther. They aren't the best because he wasn't cooperating :D. His colors are really coming in and he has grown 2.5 inches in a week :eek:
Growing up I always wanted a Jackson, actually. I love those horns and their back crests (if thats what they are called)They look so prehistoric :eek:
This will be my first of more chameleons to come :D I just have to do it very slow so I don't kill my savings :eek:
Here's a picture of my blue bar ( now I know! :D:D) ambilobe panther. He's coming at the end of being 11 weeks old. His color is getting stronger by the day!! :D
Let's see some baby pictures new chameleon owners!! :p
1000 is too much I think. I wanted to buy a few breeding pairs to start my colony. If I got 3 breeding pairs how long until I should start feeding off?
I have actually watched him walk up to crickets in his cage and look them over. If they have dust he can see he will walk away and not touch the cricket unless I refuse to give him new good for the day. If the cricket he walks up to doesn't have dust he lets it walk away until he can "shoot" his...
After some consideration and talking to a few people on here aswell as my fiancé ( for premission :D) I am going to keep a very small dubia roach colony. Seeing as they can't climb, jump, or infest my house or smell like cricket's. What is the smallest colony I can keep for one panther chameleon...
I got him from the Chameleon Company. He is sired by Maximus , I am really hoping that white and red comes through :D
Thanks Rodcham! This is my first panther chameleon and surely won't be my last! I've got my sites on a Nosy Faly next :D
I thought I'd share a picture of my now 11 week old ambilobe panther. He already doesn't like the camera! :D sorry about my finger! I had to move quick!!
What gut loaders do you use for your different feeders? For crickets I use fluckers dry with calcium added and then I add calcium to the water I use to hydrate my water crystals. I don't know if it adds a substantial amount of calcium. A little is better than none, no? :o I have such a hard time...
That's so strange! When I saw him doing it I was like Hey! Knock it off! :D he stopped and looked at me like I was a fool. :eek: It almost makes me think they are teething! :p
