I was just wondering what type of enclosures and what size people use to house their male panther chameleons in the uk due to the temps being lower and keeping the humidity up ?
Hi I noticed u live in the uk I was just wondering if I could ask u a few questions as most of the chameleon keepers on here are in the us so variations in weather etc.
I was just wondering how you get on with keeping the humidity up in your chameleon cages as our weather is alot cooler and...
Hi I've added the dripper and covered 3 of the sides and his humidity is now staying around 50 and not dropping below 40 which i'm happier with I'm going to buy him another plant also at the weekend I'm thinking a hibcus as thought this will help to increase the humidity a bit more but just...
Thank you all for your replies I've covered 2 sides of his cage and connected the dripper for during the day. I'm going to keep a eye on the temp and humidity tomorrow and see if this helps increase the humidity.
Thank u so much for your reply I was getting worried that I was harming my Cham by not having the humidity above 70 he seems healthy alert feeding and he drinks when I mist him and his eyes aren't sucken and isn't showing signs of dehydration. His faeces looks normal with white urate. I mist him...
Hi I live in Kent in England. I use a exto terra fogger and mist quite generously over most of his umbrella plant for about 5 mins. His temp is mainly between 85-88 but has gone up to 90 a couple of times so i'm going to keep a close eye on that if it continues to stay around 90 I will get a...

It's so nice to hear people with chameleons that are similar in character to
my little man, and that if he walks on to our hands it's ok as it's his choice. you hear so many people say u shouldn't handle them
at all and they get stressed out and they don't
like being handled at all. He is...
he is lovely i have a 7 month old red ambilobe and he is like that aswell as soon as i open the door he climbs up my arm is this ok im just worried it might stress him out , but i surpose he wouldnt come near me if he was threatened or frightened what do you think ?
He measures 6 inches head to vent and 11 to 12 inches from head to the tip of his tail. A few times when I open the door to mist his plant he walks straight on my hand even if he is at the back of the cage. Is this most likely because he needs some more space. I
mean he is really friendly I...
Thanks for ur reply I'll have to measure him in the morning as I'm not definantly sure. Yea we have been looking at screen enclosures and found a website linked to this forum it's a charity organisation and they ship to the uk as the screen enclosures over here are alot more expensive. It's...
