I have decided to rehome my panther chameleon. We decided to get a dog, and the dog will not leave the chameleon stuff alone. My daughter loves the dog and she is really annoying if I kennel her while working from home. I would like to have the dog in my office when my wife is gone, but not only...

Hello, I was hoping I might get a little feedback on the weight of my roughly 1.25yo male panther. He seems to be in good health. The only reason I post is sometimes I notice his caske has a tiny bulge. It’s not the whole thing which is what I typically see in overweight chams, it’s just a...

So he actually came out and spend the majority of the day above canopy. Just took him a long time to come out, and I don’t think he ever did yesterday. He also seemed to be gaping. Not pointing nose up, and normal colors. He ate a massive hornworm, and I think that’s it. I put some dubia in...

Hello, I’m a little concerned about by 10mo panther. Yesterday I don’t think he came out of his sleeping spot. He looked awake and alert though. He may have come out earlier in the day and I just missed it. Today he hasn’t come out from below the canopy and onto his normal perch. Kind of...

I don’t have any answers really, but if you post some extra information more knowledgeable folks can help. Also if you can post more pics. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Handling - How often do you handle your...

I’ve actually got river rock in most of my pots. I took them out in this one for some reason and forgot to put back in. But I’ll double check and make sure my coverage is good. And funny you should say that about going back for it…

I actually found a post here that talked about chameleons, especially male panthers, chewing on things. Although perhaps normal, it adds emphasis to making sure they can’t swallow them. I always use the feeder run cup, so I didn’t think having some uncovered soil was a big deal. I’m going to...

Hello, I noticed some odd behavior today in my 8mo old panther that I think has been going on for a while. Lately I’ve been hearing some crunching noises. It sounded very similar to a BSF being eaten. I have put more in than I believe have been eaten so I wasn’t that surprised. Then days or...

I used a protein powder container and screen because I had them both on hand. If you follow the tips in the video as principles you’ve probably got most of the stuff you’d need already.

Awesome, thanks! I wonder if that means I should go bio-active since I’ve apparently got a start with springtails 😂

I’m curious about the smell too, if you decide to go this route ide love to hear your opinion.

I don’t really see anything when I look under leaves or flip rocks in pots. I do occasionally see what looks like a fruit fly, but even that is occasional. Just because I was looking I took a pic of my buddie.

Good afternoon, I emptied the drainage pan on my enclosure today, and noticed these tiny white bugs floating on top. They were actually crawling on top of the water. I will attach some pics, but they are so tiny it was hard to get a clear picture. They remind me of springtails. I used to...

Hello, had a quick question about routines and where Panthers generally spend their time. I’ve had my male for about 3 months, making him around 7 months. For the first couple months he hung out mostly in his basking area and top of cage, and crawling the screen ceiling. Recently, he’s been...

Good evening, I just experienced something pretty funny and wanted to share. It’s the first time I’ve been able to personally watch the majority of a shed. My Ambilobe this morning didn’t seem to have his usual appetite. He is maybe 7 months old, and still crawls on the top of his screen most...

The room my Cham is in is cold in the winter without supplementary heat. I run a space heater in the room with a thermostat and probe near the middle of the cage. It runs on low at about 800watts so I don’t trip my breakers. Not sure how helpful that is, but I do have experience dealing with...

I see you have a pothos, what other live plants do you have? What do you have in the bottom catching water? 73 sounds cold but I could be wrong, I’m less familiar with veileds. What do you have for a basking lamp? I live in a cold climate so my heat runs a ton. I know it’s not easy, but I...

Okay great, that’s consistent with what I’ve observed. And that’s okay? To leave the feeders he doesn’t finish in the morning In the feeder run cup for him to eat later?

No, I mean a limited duration of time in which the chameleon is presented with food. One measure I’ve see is “as much as they can eat in 5 minutes”, once or twice daily. So my question stems from whether or not that has any real validity.

thank you for the replies. Im more interested in the “feeding windows”. Is that a real, scientific thing, or has it stemmed from a fear of over feeding?
