I have two home-made chameleon cages for pick up only.
The first is an indoor cage: wooden, with window screen, painted green. The cage is set up to be lined with plastic and drain into a bucket. The stand is a little heavy and not as nice to look at, but it matches and it works. There's a...
I hate to do this, but we are moving to a very small house in a not very chameleon friendly city. So I'm going to try to re-home my male ambilobe panther. This is not urgent, so I'm looking for a good local home for him with an experienced keeper.
Don Chameleone is about 3 years old...
Here are a few shots of the The Grump :D He still hates his indoor cage and refuses to eat anything that isn't a superworm. We're working on that last thing...
"Stop taking pictures of my bum!"
Anthropomorphic thread title aside...
I have an adult male panther who lives either outside or inside when it's too cold. He's been active and acting normal: drinking well, basking, looking well filled-out, being a brat.
For the last week or so, he's refused to eat anything but superworms...
So, my adult male panther (tentatively named Don Chameleone by my husband) is an extremely active guy. He is always on the walls of his enclosure. Well... he's everywhere else too, but he's on the walls more than I would like. He pretty much uses every inch of his 6ft x 5ft enclosure.
I first...
(I really wish there was a thread for little stupid questions)
So, my new-ish panther is in an outdoor enclosure that's got regular hardware cloth on it. I've read about the issues with using this, but I've used it on all my outdoor cages in the past and never had a problem. However, this guy...
Sorry for the long...
So, I've had my new guy (adult male panther) for a few days now. I've been keeping him in his outdoor cage because it's easier to provide lots of water outside. The issue I'm having is whether or not he's getting enough basking time.
The outdoor cage is 6ftx5ftx3ft...
Well, probably dumb - I couldn't really find a good answer anywhere.
If a weather forecast says the actual temp is, say, 80F, but it 'feels like' 89F, do chameleons and other reptiles experience the temperature as 80F or 89F? Or is the 'feels like' only applied to humans?
I mean, I know...
My new panther cham from the Chameleon Company (thanks Jim!) arrived this afternoon. He's a nice big Ambilobe. No fancy bars or colors or anything - I just think he's gorgeous!
Sorry for the bad shots - I want to let him get settled. He stepped out of his bag like a perfect gentleman...
Check this guy out:

He might actually have more than 6 horns. And for being such a little mutant, he looks pretty healthy :D
Yes, I bought a cham, a male panther :D Now I'm working on his cages. He's going to have a large outdoor cage and a smaller (but nicer looking) indoor cage.
For the outdoor cage, I wanted to build it as large as possible because that gives the cham more space to thermoregulate. Plus, it's...
I was walking my dog this morning in our little neighborhood, which is a weird mix of shabby, falling-down wrecks and very nice older homes - a lot of the neighbors are older hippy types. Anyway, I was going by a nicer home with a very nice, very lush, very well cared for yard, and noticed a...
I'm on the verge here :o but I'll let you guys decide. A little information first:
Due to school and moving around the country and such, I haven't been able to keep chameleons for almost 8 years. And now I'm tired of waiting. I've had experience with many species (I did my Masters work on...
Hi all,
I've lurked for a long time (and will probably just continue to lurk), but I thought I should introduce myself :)
I've kept and bred a lot of chameleon species in the past, but I don't have any currently - I move around a lot and I just don't have the space or time for a good...
