I know it’s pretty normal for veiled chams to eat plants but anyone have their panthers eating plants? I noticed my Cham was a bit dehydrated as I kept noticing him drinking from the leaves every time it got misted so I setup a drip cup. I set it up with two leaves from a money tree for it to...

My bio active enclosure has a bunch of small slugs in it. I also haven’t seen ANY isopods for a long time, actually I haven’t seen any except 1 since I added them tbh lol but my enclosure is big and very hard for me to dig to look for any. So I have no idea if they’re alive or not and wondering...

My panther cham seems to be having trouble shedding his skin. He’s very dull in color and at night when he turns normally bright yellow there’s spots that stay dark. Also his head you can see it’s on the verge of shedding but not getting there. He also has some yellow spots that seem to stay...

So idk if it’s gnats, fruit flies or what but since I went bioactive it’s gone down but still see them Inside the enclosure. I guess it’s inevitable with moist dirt and heat lights etc. anything you guys do to limit these? I know the potted plants that get super soaked attract them and I found a...

Hey everyone so I was wondering if there’s any species of isopods I can add in my bioactive enclosure that will coexist with the dwarf whites that I already have in there. I’d like a larger species that I can see doing there thing on top of the substrate and can live in that moist climate and...

Do you guys rip the legs off grasshoppers when you use them as feeders? Today I noticed just how dangerous they probably are going down my chams throat. I was throwing away a leg and try going against the spine and wow they’re like fish hooks. Also today I fed my Cham a really large one (which...

Started this awhile ago but never have much time so do like 2 hours at a time when I get the chance to work on it. Built the base out of 2x3s and made cabinet doors all out of pvc board and trim. The bottom was just 1/2” pvc board screwed together with silicone on the joints then spray painted...

Got my new batch of differential grasshoppers after all 100 died last week from pesticides on the veggies I gave them. (Which 100% has to be the case since I found 3 in my house throughout the week alive and healthy that must’ve escaped when transferring them so didn’t eat or get next to the...

I received 100 differential grasshoppers today and didn’t have any organic veggies around so just tossed in some romaine lettuce, carrots, celery in there for now. Within 45 minutes every single one died. I spoke to a breeder (who frequents here) and he said that’s got to be from pesticides...

I read that uvb helps with the hoppers a lot. Wondering how many use the cheap screw in bulb type for theirs or use the strip lights that we use for the chams?

I read on some thread a user here breeds Indian walking stick insects. I just don’t remember who, if anyone knows. I’d like to start feeding Rex some different types of insects since the regulars you can find on most sites he won’t eat anymore. I have him eating mainly silk worms, horned worms...

I’m building a custom enclosure using a reptibreeze xl. I built a bottom out of pvc board that the reptibreeze will sit on top of with no bottom, then I have that attached to a 2x3 framed false bottom and pvc board on outside (this is for drainage system) it will be bioactive as well. I have...

So I lost a horned worm a couple weeks ago in my chams enclosure (maybe 2 I don’t remember) and today I saw this Goliath thing inside his enclosure so I started tapping on the cage to make it move. Remind you my Cham hasn’t been eating too much bc he was sick so wasn’t sure he’d go for this but...

I’m giving my panther cham antibiotic muscle injections 2x a week and they’ve been going pretty good. Today he was a bit more anxious and wiggling around and when I pulled back a bit to make sure I had negative pressure I thought I felt it and didn’t see any blood but after I removed it I...

I’m turning my xl reptibreeze into a bioactive enclosure. I don’t want my guy to lose any space so ima build a 24x24x12” “box” for it to sit on and remove the floor so I can fill the box with the substrate etc. My question is what can I use that will be good enough to not warp from the water...

So my Panther Cham has had a respiratory infection for like 3 weeks now. First vet gave him oral meds for 10 days and it didn’t work at all so took him elsewhere and got injection antibiotics (2x a week for 6 weeks) he’s only had 2 so far so still sick but it’s mild I was told yet he’s still...

I took my panther Cham to vet (he’s about 1 year old) and was diagnosed with a respiratory infection. I was given oral enroflox for 10 days. Today is day 9 he’s still not eating much and a little mucus and now he’s going to bottom of enclosure and looks like he’s trying to escape. I’m gonna...

Are all the different types of the tradescantia wandering dude plants ok for an adult (1yr) panther chameleon enclosure? I see so many different types of the same plant but don’t see info on all of them about being in Cham enclosures

I’ve tried just feeding him BSFL after he stopped eating them and legit just won’t eat them even when starving and was the only option. Same happened with the Dubia roaches. The only way I get him to eat roaches is I put some in his dish and throw some wax worms in there so he accidentally...

So I haven’t had BSFL in a few weeks just got some and put a bunch in his dish. Just got an order of everything so threw some super worms in there and a couple horned worms. Well I learned the hard way the BSFL will eat the horned worms. They were in a dish overnight in cage and I woke up to one...
