To the OP: First of all your Cham looks good from what I can see. You seem to have made a good job from fattening him up for the past month (following your explanation him being neglected and thin). I didn't really follow the thread due to the vast responses of other members (which is always...

Thanks all for the nice comments. Will try to keep up the good work.

Well, I have read this before somewhere several times. I am not sure to which percentage they absorb, but ambient humidity is as important to them as drinking itself. I think Laurie started a thread on this before also.

Welcome to the forum. What are the humidity levels? Jacksons need high humidity of around 80% together with the lower temperature. As chameleons absorb water also through the skin it is important to keep the humidity levels right.

Welcome to the forum. Chams are wonderful animals. As I keep Chameleons and Geckos as well, I can assure you Chameleons are way more demanding in terms of husbandry and less forgiving. Both are amazing however.

Thanks Jann. I saw your pet cham video the other. Beautiful. Even if some of those are not with you anymore, you have a stunning collection there. Nothing can replace the lost ones. But every successful husbandry to old age can only make you proud.

Very nice enclosure and very nice Chameleon. Welcome to the forum. Just curious. How do you manage drainage?

Male Yemen do have blue spots also. In fact they can be very colorful. Unless 'he' is blackish base with yellow and blue and green spots, you might have a colorful male and not a gravid female.

White Rice Vinegar is also a good solution to get off the stains. Good luck with the setup. I personally never had luck with glass enclosures. But my environment is rather the opposite. Too hot and too wet.

Thanks all. I always had Yemen Chameleons before and color was not a consideration. These Panthers drive me crazy. Coloration is such a big issue. I see all these great panthers here and sometimes in the pet stores and wonder what I do wrong. Just bought this magic supplement from Germany...

It's been one year now with Rainbow the Ambanja in our care (he was around six months when we got him). Punctual to this anniversary he had a big shed yesterday and silkworms are available on the market again. So he finally decided to merciful show some colors in the morning to us. Well...

If you cannot find a reasonable size, go Bonsai and trim to fit. Basically you have to trim most of the plants in the enclosures on a regular basis anyway. Especially if they are fast growing like ficus or vines. It should not harm the ficus too much to trim him back to meet your needs. They...

Welcome to the forum. As you are a reptile shop manager we all hope your shop will be a animal friendly with great short term husbandry and knowledge. Hoenellis are wonderful Chameleons. As they are a montane species, I cannot afford to keep them in the tropical and hot Hong Kong...

Thanks Jann. I still could cry when I see his pictures. And it is more than a year later. I can understand that Luie's passing must be such a pain for you. Hope you get your spirits up again soon.

I totally understand your point of view. However we also have to accept that when there is a forum for a rather specialized and complicated subject such as Chameleons and their care, there will be always a few who take their passion dead serious to the point that it becomes very lecturing and...

There are some Chameleons which are natural screen climbers - unfortunately. But from my experience the more foliage and horizontal branches you have there, the less likely they climb the fence. And I mean really a lot of foliage. My plants fill up the cage volume about 70-80%. They hardly climb...
