    Should I get a fogger?

    I'm not sure on what foggers are the best (a lot of amazon reviews for all sorts tend to have a con of leakage) but I do wonder, have you tried wrapping your cage at night? I know some people use a shower curtain and cover the two sides and the back, and that can help retain humidity. Another...

    New cham owner. Sometimes she blows a little liquid out of her nose. (?)

    Update: we got her into a reptile/exotic vet today and while I am still cautious, she got a clean bill of health. The vet did a visual exam, felt around, and an xray. She has no fluid in her lungs or anything of the sort. The only thing found was lower bone density, likely from her having come...

    Mesh enclosure has a problem with maintaining heat and humidity, placed shrink film on 3 sides to see if that helps can I go upto a 100w for added hea

    The live plants you've ordered should help maintain cage humidity. You may need more if the plants you ordered are small. Right now, the cage is literally bare. Not only does that make it hard to maintain proper humidity, but it's probably stressing your cham out too. They don't really enjoy...

    Tips to get my humidity higher?

    Hi. What type of enclosure do you have. If screen, you can wrap the back and sides with something like a shower curtain. Having all live plants will also help immensely to maintain humidity. 50% humidity is fine for a panther though.

    New chameleon parent

    If you can get a close up picture of this chameleon's back feet, it'll be really easy to gender them. I'm personally thinking female with what we see, but it's good to make absolutely sure to know if you'll need to make a lay bin or not. The biggest concern with the chameleon death kit (in my...

    Husbandry Check?

    Hi. Beautiful boy! 🥰 You’ve got some great larger plants. Are you looking to add smaller ones? Pothos is the workhorse for chameleons and does come in different varieties. If you place it on the bottom and train it to grow upwards, the leaves will grow bigger. Tradescantia zebrina is another...
