Sorry, i cannot help much but it sounds a bit strange to me. If he is an adult, the temperature should not be a problem for a panther. Mine tolerates temperatures up to 90, even enjoys it. He should not go to sleep at 3 pm. For a Jackson it could be really too hot especially if the humidity is...

So nice. Congrats. I am sure they will have a happy and long life with you. Don't spoil them too much. You know what happens to spoilt kids, right?

I couldn't imagine that they are so cute. Still cannot get a good picture of the boy (who is having so nice colors) and one girl as they are always hiding, but this one is always visible and a showoff.

Hi all. Thanks for the kind words. I hope I can keep them as well as our other Chams. They are super cute for sure.

Got them from Fa Yuen Street. Between Prince Edward Road West and Playing Field Road. They are usually specialized in nosy bes. But currently they have 3 types of pigs. One of them is the acuminatus. But they sell at quite a high prize.

I couldn't resist it. Didn't want a new Chameleon. But then I came across these: I got 3 beautiful R. Brevicaudatus. 1 Male, 2 Female. Imported from Germany. The boy has really nice green eyes. They took their time settling in since Sunday. I have them in a temporary enclosure. They seem to...

Ha, ha. Offense is the best defense

Funny, I was looking for an answer to the question why men have beards. I found three answers: Rival Dominance, Sexual Attraction, Environment. Maybe in certain areas certain colors leave a bigger impact in terms of all three factors?

Enclosure looks great. As far as I have seen, a lot of us use actual soil at the bottom of the enclosure. The main difference between a Pygmy and an arboreal Cham is that you need more foilage up in the air in order to simulate the canopy. In my enclosures I make sure the bottom is...

Should be normal. The leaf movement is performed by not all but a lot of Chameleons. Usually it is part of their hunting techniques. When mine is very hungry, he shoots right away. When he is not so hungry he gets more hesitant and sometimes jerks his head also.

First one hatched. Two more to go. They all cocooned at the same time. Hope there can be a pairing. So excited. Now my question: do I put the moth into a separate bin for mating and laying eggs? Should they lay their eggs on a paper towel? Any advise how to proceed would be appreciated.

I would suggest something very mellow to take care of. Chameleons are high maintenance pets. For me it is quite nice to have something robust and easy going besides. Tortoise and Turtles are great. The Tortoise eats every single veggie we eat (as well as our feeders for the Cham) and walks...

The pictures are quite blur. Can you post something sharper? Could be the start of a shed. Haven't seen such a black chameleon in a while. He must have been ravishing mad when you took the picture.

He most likely means to pay a visit to the vet. The black area at the lip is not normal. Could be an injury or a cricket bite or some kind of fungus. To be safe, you might check with a vet. Other than that your Cham looks healthy and normal.

They don't have any outer ear. Hearing might be a problem with that. They can detect vibration very well and 'hear' some low frequencies. I am afraid all your efforts to train your Chameleon by voice might be in vain. But most of them clearly do understand, that you are a nuissance to their...

Looks like a ficus. That is safe. In fact most of us have at least one...

Hang in there. Jr looks very relaxed in your hands. He seems to understand that he can trust you fully to get him through this difficult period.

You could also try to remodel your enclosure. I personally never had problems with my Chams but they tend to be less receptive to human presence if the environmental setup is unfavorable to them. Maybe more foliage for the enclosure or more climbing opportunities etc. could help. You could post...

They are cold blooded. As far as I understand, this means the body temperature is dependent on the ambient temperature. They digest food best by regulating their body temperature in accordance with the temperature gradient in their enclosure. They will need the basking spot to accelerate body...

I wanted to answer exactly the same. Chameleons only have a smell when they are sick (mouth rot for instance). For cleaning: Diluted white rice vinegar (1:3) or diluted lime juice does the trick. Both need to be rinsed off with water after.
