suppliments Thanks for the info on the meal worms. I read that website. My question is on suppliments. The website you referred me two say. Dusting with Calcium everyday. Calcium with D3 twice a month and repti-vitamins twice a month. This is in direct contrast with a couple of other web sites...

I have the bigger cage and think Panther is about 8/9 months old. I'm still trying to find out. In my cage I have two tall structures with vines and plastic plants and have incorporated live plants as well. I cup feed him meal worms but I let the crickets loose. Watching him stalk and kill...

I have read in breeder sites and some other places that for Panthers dust with calcium D3- 3 times a week, and a rep vitamin supplement 1- a week. Local pet shop says they will pee out any D3 not absorbed. Like humans, you pass any vit that are not absorbed. Thats why I use whole food liquid vit...

aggression Once again I thank you for the input. I think he will mellow out. He is not hissing at me all the time lol. Sometimes he lets me go about my business in the cage. Maybe he is still getting use to me. At times I can get under him from the front and get him on my fingers without him...

Thanks for the input. Thats about what I have been doing. I actually handle him for about 5 minutes a few times a week. I want him to get use to it. I am loving this creature. Every morning I feed him first, than make my coffee. By the time I pour my cup and go back inside my rep room its game...

Crickets I also take a one gallon water jug top and fill it with cricket food and keep it on the floor in the corner. If there are left over crickets that Melvin has not eaten they will have a food source at night. It would be impossible for me to catch the ones he doesn't eat from the day...

crickets Thats funny, I had the same problem. I put them into the plastic tote outside. Than bring them inside. The pet shop by me keeps his in a plastic tote and he didnt need a lid its deep enough so they cant climb out. One thing I see he did was: He took sandpaper and he ruffed up the...

Feeding worms I was told not to feed them super's even small ones. Apparently Panthers dont chew their food and it can cause an impaction even death! I do feed him mealies and he loves his crickets! I want to give him a variety of food any more suggestions. I do clip some collard greens in his...

Heat I am new to the Chameleon world but if you make it hotter at the top,(than he will need) he can adjust his environmental temp by moving himself lower on his structure. If he likes it warmer he can go "upstairs" lol. Better to be to hot at the top and he can go lower on his perch than be...
