Hey everyone. I kinda fell off the forums after I got my 2 Ambilobe panthers because I have been so busy with them. I have been trying to collect some good pictures over the weeks but here are my 2 new babies. Names pending but right now I have Yeti the boy and Shena the girl. They are so sweet...
The last few days my baby female, just over 3 months, has been acting weird. I know she cant have eggs yet and she isnt even real fat but she seems like she is going down to the dirt and pushes the rocks away to dig at the dirt? I didnt notice her eating any dirt. The only reason I can think of...
I have my cage all set up and I am getting my Panthers soon. I had one question. My TV is on after lights out sometimes and it gives a soft glow in the room at night. The tv is not facing the Cham cage. Do you think this would bother their sleep? Should I put a blanket over the cage when I am...
Hey guys KTown here with some pics of my duel Cham cage I hand built. Thought you might enjoy :) I know I am ecstatic. First off I have to say I love this forum and thank you to all the amazing people that make it what is by taking their time to share their experiences. Everyone here is great...
I am getting my auto timers set for my cage and I wanted to know how important is it to stay right on 12 hours dark and 12 hours light. If I cut their light to 13 hours light and 11 dark would that mess them up to bad? Or even 12 half hours light and 11 half dark. I just want to match them up...
I have made a nice new enclosure that has 2, 24x24x48 spaces in it. For a bit now I had been planning on getting 2 Ambilobes. One male and one female and breeding them. I think breeding would be really interesting and fun. I am just a little nervous of all the extra work and stress of the eggs...
Hey everyone! I just finished building a cage and am in the process of making a auto mister/dripper with a pond pump. I just wanted to share with you guys these really cool Flex-Mist heads I found made by Orbit irrigation. They sell on Amazon at a place called Smarthome for $1.65. They fit...
I am getting my set up ready for two cages for some panthers and I am still torn between buying 2 big dippers or possibly making the homemade 'drizzle'/mister with a pond pump and stuff from home depot for like $30. I am pretty savy and I dont imagine it would be hard for me to construct. Any...
Ok I have two quick basic questions. Do you continue misting/dripping overnight? (leave out dripper or leave mister timer unchanged) Or is it ok to turn off water when lights go out. Also lighting. They run on a 12-12 dark and light schedule right? Getting my chams in a month or so. Cant wait...
I have built a real nice big enclosure for 2 adult chams (I will post some pics in the thread when I get home). The only thing I havent done yet is put a barrier between the large space to make it two enclosures. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for material to use that would be...
I have had some breeding projects on the brain and I wanted to get your guys opinions and feelings on some topics. These are kinda just philosophical questions to see what people value when it comes to chameleons. Panthers to be more specific.
1. What would you prefer? A pure breed locale OR...
I am thinking about buying some wood and screen and building a double cage for a breeding pair of Panthers. Does anyone have any good links on hand built cages? Or anyone have any tips for one. The one thing I was worried about is the wood. Do you leave it raw or stain it? Will the wet wood...
Hey everyone! I am a sculpture major in my senior semester about to graduate and I thought why not try to trade my services for something I really want :) I will be moving to a nice new place in June and I would love to get a Chameleon to join me. I really want a male Panther Cham, Ambilobe...
I was curious how similar Chameleon babies are to their Sire in forms of patterns and color? Mainly males. Are they all very close to sires looks? Or are they usually some closer looking to sire and some not so impressive? Thank you
I am going to buy a baby panther cham soon and I was planning on just buying the big 24x24x48 cage right away for him to grow in to. This would hopefully save some money from buy multiple cages. Do you guys see any draw backs or problems with getting a baby with a big cage? I was planning on...
