    Dexter moved into his big cage!!

    So, Dexter finally moved into his new home, which I had built for him in April, when I first got him as a little brown 3-4 mo Ambilobe Panther. His colors are really coming out as a sub-adult, and I'm excited to see him in a few more months, every shed brings out something new!! He was eating...

    Moving with cham advice?!

    So, I shoulda posted this sooner for replies, but I'm moving tomorrow, and obviously my cham is coming with me. He's still in a 16"x16"x30", so I figured I could put a sheet or something over the enclosure and move him there in my car? It'll be like 80° out tomorrow, and I figured that'd be the...

    Age range to move into adult enclosure?

    Can I get some feedback on a rough age range to move a growing panther into a 24"x24"x48" enclosure? Mine's about 5-6 months old now and he's getting pretty decent size. He seems like he's getting restless in his smaller one? The branches that I have in the big one are about 1/2"-1" in diameter...

    Enclosure progression DIY, done!!

    So, I've been working on this for a couple months... It's basically a typical screen cage/Dragon Strand hybrid, front/side/top screen, back/other side pvc sheet. Choose not to put in the upper feeding door for better viewing, it's 24"x24"x48". I built ledges, connected branches with zip ties and...

    Poor guys heat lamp burned out today!!

    So, I was at work all day and came home to find my poor 5 month Ambilobe's heat lamp burned out, and I don't know for how long? He was on a vine he sometimes sleeps on near the bottom of his cage and looked tired. I changed the bulb, and he climbed up and flattened out under it to warm up. I...

    diy feeder cups?

    So I've been building my cham's new enclosure with a built-in removable feeder cup, and my original intent was for crickets as primary feeders, but after research Dubia roaches seem like the best option. Just curious if they will climb the screen backing (sunny d style feeding cup, lined with...

    Handling/acclimating?

    I'm trying to acclimate my new Ambilobe, and I've had him for almost a month. He seems pretty skittish?! If he's in the middle of his cage on a branch, he tries to hide behind it when I come in the room. I tried to handle him once, and he turned almost complete black and white, walked quickly...

    feeders?

    I've only been able to get my 4 month old Ambilobe to eat crickets so far. I've tried meal worms and giant meal worms but he doesn't seem interested in them, as they don't move much? I'm cup feeding and he readily eats 15-20 small crickets a day. I want to vary his diet more obviously, so any...

    Misting schedule/hydration?

    So, I'm just trying to err on the side of caution as I know it's better to catch things sooner rather than later. I've had my male 4 month old Ambilobe for a few weeks now and he seems to be doing great eating, drinking, and growing like crazy, but the other day I noticed his urates were yellow...

After many years ago of successfully keeping several species including Veils, Jackson, and an Armored chameleon (Brookesia Perarmata, this was 16 years ago, and I wish I could get another one...
