10-15 crickets daily, along with 3 hornworms daily. I read online a while back that vitamin supplements should be used once a week, but it would seem noe that that person had no idea what they were talking about... D3 calcium is used VERY RARELY, however. I understand they don't need a lot of it.

Yes, I have noticed. That started the other day after he passed a rather large sperm plug.

Really? I thought maintaining a solid 75-80 degrees went for night as well... lol, I'll turn that off now.

I have it because it can get a bit chilly here at night. I really only use it during the winter to maintain a decent temp overnight.

Here's another photo of him. I feel a bit bad because he was nappin' and I woke him up...

Your chameleon-8-9 month old male panther chameleon Handling-once every other day most of the time. Feeding-Mainly gutloaded crickets, trying to start getting him eating hornworms. Supplements-Calcium no D3, calcium with D3. Watering-Mainly spray bottle or dripper. Fecal description-Typical...

Dusting happens once a week, the crickets are gutloaded all the time with different fruits and veggies. He has a UVB as well, 5.0 reptisun, I believe.

Male Panther Cham. Here's a picture I took just now:

So about 8 or 9 months ago I purchased a chameleon from a breeder. I've had him in my care for the entirety of his life so far and most things have been going well. He passed a couple sperm plugs and is slowly but surely overcoming what I believe to be an eye infection. Now I have run into a new...

Alright, since this post, here's what I've done different: -Moved him into a larger cage -Heavier and longer misting sessions -Began feeding hornworms today (Managed to find some small ones.) -Feeding on a daily basis. (10-15 crickets and 3 hornworms a day) Everything about him is still fine...

I know that sometimes chameleons will eat hibiscus, so that's typically a good live plant to use. Plus it looks really nice since it flowers.

Just moved Mr. Miyagi into a brand new home made cage! I'm gonna run out tomorrow and get some more furnishings, but what do you guys think of it? What should I put in?

I have bought three different types of fake pet store leaves and haven't noticed anything that would be problematic, so I wouldn't say there's too many issues, but maybe somebody else has had a different experience with them? Perhaps chameleons may try eating the leaves, but even then there's...

I typically just buy the plastic fake plants from the pet store. Ones with larger leaves tend to collect the most water, so I'd buy those ones. They also have fake leaves made out of a more felt-like material, but I prefer the plastic ones.

I was looking into purchasing butterworms because they seem smaller... would they be about the same?

Really nice cage! I gotta move my cham into a larger one soon.

He seemed to try getting it out himself but simply couldn't... I can't feed hornworms because of his size. For whatever reason, he is really rather small for his age, most other 8-9 month olds are twice his size.

Never mind on that last post, I checked on him this morning and it seemed like most of the swelling went away. Now I just have to bulk him up a bit!

Automatic misters are typically really handy for chameleons, I'd recommend purchasing one, although I haven't bought one myself... As for buying a chameleon, Panthers and Veileds are very good for people who are new to chams. Panthers can be a bit more expensive, but have beautiful and vibrant...

Lol, my cham will press himself up against the front of his cage when I start playing guitar. He'll sit like that for hours just staring at it...
