Hi, I haven't posted on here for a while but I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone involved in this wonderful forum. Its my panther chameleons 1st birthday and last November I was given him as my 30th birthday present. I was over the moon but a little worried as I didn't think I...

What are peoples experiences, thoughts on Chams moods and shedding? My panther seems really depressed about a week before. His appetite decreases, he's not as active and he will not tolerate me at all! Immediately after he's back to his lovely, hungry self! Is this true for all Chams? Do they...

I spent the weekend setting up a free range area for Wilf to visit as and when he chooses. I still have a few finishing touches to make (adding a mister etc) What do you think? This is him in the tree. I put him in it while i was setting the room up and his colours just popped! I think he...

:D WILF ATE FROM MY HAND :D He has been taking wax worms off a plastic lid that i hold up to him for a while now but just sits there if I offer them on my hand :( I have been hesitant about feeding meal worms because of the high chitin content but since I was having no luck I decided to give...

Here's a pic from today. He got extra crickets and some yummy worms as a special treat!

Wanted to get Wilfred a sturdy tree to free range in with nice stable branches. Any suggestions, i was thinking a Brown Turkey Fig, would this be suitable?

Noticed mould today when I was having a clean out! I am going to have to re think some things over the weekend but i just wanted to know how bad it is for the cham's?

So, Wilfred gets misted 4-5 times a day and when I first got him i saw him drinking droplets from the leaves so never bothered with a dripper. I haven't really seen him drink since then but assume he does because he looks hydrated and his urate is always bright white. Then a few days ago I...

Just wanted to check that i'm feeding Wilfred the right amount. When i got him at 3 months he quite easily gobbled up 20 little crickets. Now he's 5 months he is naturally slowing down and i have noticed a few uneaten ones. I would say he is eating between 10-15 sub adult crickets (closer to...

I read somewhere that chams will fall on purpose as an extreme escape method. Does anyone know if there's any truth to this?

So I've had Wilfred for a couple of months now and have only really handled him twice. He really doesn't like me going near him, he puffs up, hisses and goes to bite me :( He's generally ok when I'm in and out of his enclosure cleaning etc (unless I get too close) and he will eat bugs from a lid...

Wilf must have really worn himself out the other day. His bedroom is normally behind the pothos (he usually gets all snuggled about half an hour before lights out). Anyway this night he didn't snuggle and when i turned the the light out he just fell asleep where he was! Thought i would share a...

I have just noticed when cleaning out my feeders that the Locusts have been eating the kitchen paper that i line their boxes in! I always have fresh fruit and veg and a dish of Repashy Superload in there for them. Will this do any harm to Wilfred? I put it in there 1-to soak up there waste and...

and he loved it :D

Have been thinking about this for while now and was wondering if Wilf is bothered by the reflection in his enclosure? It has a black gloss finish, you can see what I mean in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UXuFC0T7P8 He is happy and brightly coloured, eating well and basking most of...

Been waiting what feels like ages for Wilf to shed, he's been dark and moody for days! :( Will post pics of his new outfit later :D

Here's a pic of Wilf all moody because I woke him up late on New Years Day! Can't believe how much he's changed in a couple of months and the size of him, which isn't surprising considering how much he eats! Loving the blue thats developing almost daily! Im so proud of him :D

Going out 2moro to get a decent sized feeder box, I have been making do with a little one so far. Was thinking of putting fresh fruit and veg in the big box and getting out the crickets I want to feed the night b4 and putting them in the little box with just superload. If set up correctly will...
