I also have a 3 year old male panther that has never really been interested in breeding. I call him the asexual because he won't head bob for males either. I did get him to head bob one or two times when he was much younger. I kept him in a room with another cage right next to his with a female...
Our female's cage doesn't have a plant on it because of her laying eggs so often. The first couple clutches she started digging in her plant pot and it was a pain to have to continously have to dig through it when we saw her digging. We put a laying bin with fresh soil (organic potting soil) and...
If it is flies that laid the eggs of the worms and we just haven't seen them, will they kill or harm the other eggs that particular eggs was housed with? Also, is the egg that the worms on dead?? Should we just leave it or break it open to see?
I went to a local pet store and I have noticed these before, but that was before we had 4 adults and 11 babies (so far!). They have a big bin by the reptile stuff that has been there for over a year, and it says CLEARENCE on it. It is FULL of Reptisun 5.0's and Iguana 5.0's (which I have looked...
Ok, so I know this is an old thread but just wanted to find out what people are thinking about this now?
We have a clutch of 20 eggs: 10 have hatched, one is piped and we have 8 that are all sweating. The first baby hatched, August 19th. There was a 10 day hault (Sept 8th) and then they...
oh, poor Moose... I hope that this doesn't deter you from getting another chameleon. I really think that you were a little blindsided with the male/female situation. So sorry for your loss.
I love how his tail turns to red bars! He is definitely a keeper! You mentioned that his supplement schedule was to heavy. How can you tell that, if you don't mind me asking?
Try making a dripper out of a cottage cheese container and poke a hole in the bottom with a tack. Put warm water (not hot) in it. You really don't have enough vegetation for the drops to fall on and her to see it. She probably needs to see a vet...
She needs way more vines and plants or dowels in there. They don't have to be live plants but enough stuff for her to crawl around on. That cage is pretty bare. She could be stressed out from not really having a place to hide. Chameleons like to hide in shady areas if they get to hot or don't...
Yes, even if there is no male around, they can still produce infertile eggs.
I'm attaching a really great video about making a laying bin.

If you can get a picture of her, we can see if she looks like she has eggs...
Do not use ice cubes as makeshift drippers. These produce COLD water, actually causing the chameleon to stay away from it. A dripper is the best way for hydration in my eyes and it needs to be set so its dripping in leaves.
You might want to nix the waterfall. He may not see the water and get to it to drink properly. I have a mist king that goes off religiously every day and one of my males will not drink from the mist. He only drinks from a dripper.
