Hi, i have just gone over to my chams viv and noticed my cham had what i thought was a hemipenal prolapse. It was definately the hemipenes as i have identified it through other threads but one thing i someone mentioned on another thread was 'if you have had your cham for a year now i am...

Ok just a quickie, I am interested what locale you think my panther is. I was sold him as ambanja, and on google have found a couple that look similar but also others that look completely different. I am not bothered what he is but just interested. I understand that you cannot completely tell...

Hi all, I am in the process of designing my panthers adult viv. I am just not sure what type of mesh to use as there are so many different types and some don't look like they would be very suitable. I live in England, so i might not be able to buy the exact one, but if you just have an...

I have a panther chameleon that is about 4 or 5 months old and have a quick question. When he is climbing, for example when i get him out to clean his cage and he climbs up onto my hand, he sometimes makes a little 'huff' noise. I am aware of URIs and i am just wondering if this is likely to...

I am just wondering if there is a reason why my cham is taking random dislikes to things around him, for example a sheet of kitchen roll (plain white colour, plus there are many other things he is in contact with that are white that he does not bother with) Another example is a small clip in...

Hi everone, i just thought i would post a picture of my panther to see if he is an ambanja as this is what i was told when i was sold him and recently i have learned to doubt the shop that i got him from.. He is around 4 months old (i think, once again the shop proved to be useless!) and is...

Just wondering, is there a reason why my young ambanja panther cham (almost 100% its a male) goes really dark green with almost black markings on him? Other times bright green bars and red markings come through. I will try and get pics soon. Thanks

Hi everyone, I have a young ambanja and since i have had him (about a week or so) i have only had plastic plants in his enclosure. Yesterday i bought a Ficus Benjamina 'Natasha' from homebase and i noticed that the soil had fertilisers in it. Was i right in washing the roots as best i...

Yet another concern of mine...... I sometimes catch my panther chameleon taking a bite out of the kitchen paper on the bottom of his enclosure and today my girlfriend has caught him with a huge bit in his mouth and it looked like hes struggling with it. She carefully removed the paper and we...

Does anyone have one of these in their enclosure. I went to the shop to buy a weeping fig, ficus benjamina and bought a weeping fig, ficus natasha. I cant seem to find much on the internet but i am just wondering if this is the same plant, different name or is this a different plant? Pictures...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to see what you guys think of a few concerns i have with my cham... My main one is supplementing, he is only a young one and i am sure i am not the first person on here to have a young one that doesn't want to eat when people are watching. My problem is it doesnt...

Hi everyone, Just wondering, has anyone heard of cutworms being used as a staple feeder insect? I ordered some silkworms a while ago from a site in the uk (as most people from the uk will know, silkworms are possibly the hardest feeder to get our hands on here) and they still havent...

As you can tell, its pretty severe whatever it is, but i just want to know if this is a burn and is treated by carefull application of a reptile safe iodine solution (tamodine) or if this is, as previously mentioned in another thread, gangrene? I have only owned him for 2 days and it was...

Im not sure if this is something to worry about but i wanted to ask before it becomes a big problem. Yesterday i got a young panther chameleon and i have noticed the very tip of his tail (about 2-3mm) is very withered and a blackish-grey colour. I am wondering if this is from when he was...

Right, I’ve had a few discussions with successful local breeders (and a few on here) and I just want to see if I am on the right track to having a good care schedule for my cham. I will soon have a 3-month-old male panther chameleon. Young Viv – Small glass enclosure, well ventilated...

Hi all, after several ideas scrapped i have decided that i want to get a mesh enclosure and replace 2 of the sides (back and one side) with a solid wall such as corrugated plastic, this is because The enclosure will be near a wall and i don't want issues with misting and causing damp/damage. I...

Right first off, I know that glass/solid sides are frowned upon here, but as I live in England (a lovely cold place!) So many chameleon keepers and breeders have told me that a semi-solid enclosure is not detrimental to a chameleon’s health. I have read the issues with glass (reflections...

Hi all, just found this forum after looking for a good place to gather some information about chameleons, it looks full of info! Anyway I am planning on getting a panther chameleon soon. I already own a bearded dragon and have done for around 2 years and I am looking to get something more...
