    Exo Terra enclosures for panthers? And a re-purposed Petco habitat?

    So, long story long.... A Petco in the next town over was replacing their habitats. We got the tip from a buddy, and went to go pick up their old "iguana" enclosure. Now we are trying to figure out what to put in it. Its a pretty sweet huge enclosure, approx the same size as a 36x36x18 Exo...

    Lost and found: Need identification, sexing, advice

    I got a call from a lady that said that she just found this chameleon walking around in her yard. We agree to meet so that I can pick him up and take him home. She sent me a few pictures prior, and I instantly thought female just judging from the colors. Ive only ever dealt with ambilobe...

    Hello all, I am changing things up a bit from my usual gutload. I went to my local drug store and picked up a bunch of powders to mix into one big dry cricket gutload. I just ordered some water crystals too for hydration. I got the idea from someone in another cham group thats been doing this...

Ive been given different information from just about everywhere. I know I have mixed up my poor guys supplements at least a few times now. I have...

    Thoughts on the Chameleon Cantina?

    Im highly considering getting one. It seems all the rage right now on several cham facebook groups. Only, I have heard that fountains cause bad bacteria growth? Does anyone on here have one? What are your thoughts and how well has it been working for you? One things for sure, it would...

    Could this have once been my chameleon? :( Need an expert!

    A few months ago, back in July, I came home from work one day to find one of my panther's (Pastal) cage doors wide open with no chameleon inside. I looked and looked, put up flyers, but eventually I determined that he probably wasnt coming back, seeing as now its all the way in October. I...

    Rigged up a new way to water my panther outdoors- did I do well?

    So far, Specs, my nearly 3 year old panther, has been enjoying the outdoors all summer, soaking up the good 90 degree Louisiana heat, UVB, and humidity. It was only until recently (when summers almost over, figures) that I learned a new way to water him... I was browsing through Target today...

    Questioning my vet

    Hello all, its been a while. :) My little Specs is almost 3 years old now. I came here because I have to question my vet. I was bringing in Specs to see if he was healthy enough to breed, I was thinking about getting him a girlfriend. The doctor said that Specs was fine and good to breed. I...

    Is this a good resume for Petco?

    The personal information is blurred out but the top gives my street address, city, state, zip, cell #, home #, and email. The bottom one gives my reference's #. I was a little worried about putting the bit where I say I'm familiar about everything in the store and that I live only 5 minutes...

    Where do YOU get your crickets or what is a better buy?

    Hi all, Ive been ordering my crickets in bulks of 1000 from Premiumcrickets.com ever since I got my first chameleon over a year ago, and I'm wondering if there is a cheaper place to order them. 1000 crickets at $25 every 2-2 and a half to maybe three weeks gets pretty pricey and its gone up...

    Is 36x18x18 Do-able for an adult panther?

    Title pretty much says all. :) I've had a 36x18x18 DIY cage for my adult panther for a while now... not sure if its 100% absolutely necessary to switch to the last size, since large cages + shipping can be pretty pricey..

    Is this cage and pricing on eBay too good to be true?

    I need a new cage for my little buddy Pastal, my (9m old?) panther cham. Hes outgrowing the handmade cage. I stumbled on this on eBay without even really trying to look, the pricing is extremely low (only $50 shipped!) and it looks decent...

    Would a school presentation be too stressful?

    Hi all, I had planned on bringing my two chams (panthers, one a little over a year and the other around 8 months) to my high school for a presentation. Im going to be bringing them around to a few classes and telling people about chams and how to care for them and what their habitat is like...

    Weird shedding, stuck skin for months?

    Hello all. I've had Specs, my ambilobe panther for about a year and a half (and he is about that old, take two to three months.) He has been having regular sheds throughout his life until maybe 3 to 4 months ago. It seems like he is stuck in the shedding process. There is flaking skin on his...

    Drip tray or stand for 19.75 x 19 x 40" Aluminum Screen Cage?

    Hi, my new cage that I ordered from LLLreptile just came in today and I'm really happy with it. :) It looks awesome with the plants and vines inside. Only, I noticed that there are no drip trays for a cage this size on LLLreptile. I came to you guys to ask for any alternatives. I need...

    Using bird perches for branches?

    Is this a good idea? I honestly don't see why not. I've always thought that bird perches made great branches for my cham Specs, especially if they're made to look like actual branches. Specs has one in his cage now, just one, and its his favorite perch. They're smooth, very sturdy since they...

    What else is good to gutload with Bug Burger?

    I recently decided to order some Bug Burger just to try it out for the first time. Previously I was just using my own homemade gutload for my crickets, but I want to be assured that Specs is getting everything he needs. The order I placed should be coming in sometime today. So, what else...

    How can I help him eat or gain his appetite back?

    Hello all, you may remember my threads a while back about Specs, my approx 4 month old male ambilobe, being in bad shape and in need of a vet. Well, good news. I finally was able to get him to a vet and they gave me this sort of liquid oral calcium medicine that he takes twice a day. The reason...

    Update on Specs's condition :/

    If anyone hasn't seen my previous thread on Specs with the health form: https://www.chameleonforums.com/specs-seems-going-downhill-please-help-80665/ Well, Ive been observing Specs more closely over the past few days. Ive noticed that it really is mostly his back legs that he doesn't use as...
