Hey everybody! George has had what seems to be a patch of skin that hasn't shed for about two months. It doesn't seem to be constricting or painful for him, but it definitely isn't budging and is quite noticeable. Any help greatly appreciated, a vet trip can happen pretty much any time...

Hey everybody! Has been a while since I've been here. Hope everyone is well. George has essentially grown into a perfect Chameleon, and I've decided to... "Expand" my hobby and get a Giant Day Gecko. I actually want to go into breeding them, however. Today, I bought a young'n from a good pet...

Hey everybody! Thought I'd drop by and give you all an update on George. He's now, presumably, 9-10 months old and precisely 15" from nose to tail tip. He was probably around 5-6" when I bought him. His growth has decelerated rapidly and he only sheds once a month now. He weighs enough for it...

Hey guys, haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd share some more George news :) George is now fairly large. Heavy enough that his grasp is quite painful on my skin. He's still the friendliest chameleon in the world and while there have been some days of worry (Knowing me, just a bit of...

It has been a while since I last made a George thread, so I decided today was the day. Here are some photos from today. He joined me for an hour while I was doing some computer stuff (Artwork). A very blurry picture of him on my hand for size ref, he isn't growing as fast anymore and his...

Hello everyone! George has been a great companion this Summer and I've had some lovely time with him outside, and he's still progressing healthily and (Hopefully) happily. He's shedding today. I actually wonder if anybody here with experience can give me an idea on how to handle winter...

The online store I buy my live food from has recently put up this interesting article on calci-worms, namely what is good about them. While I don't really take information like this completely seriously, they do mention important things such as feeding as much variety of insects as possible...

George absolutely loves his time in the conservatory on warm days. Snagged this photo after a yawn+stretch this morning, with his chin still puffed out. Much larger picture here http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/3332/img0309jt.jpg

Took a rather close up video of George's face earlier when I got him out. I love his fat little face. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENTPk_dJXd8&feature=player_embedded He's due a shed now. It's been at least 2-3 weeks since his last and he's definitely grown since.

I've noticed George gaping under his basking light recently, so I'm really in need of help on what to do next. I know that they do it to regulate and cool down somewhat, but I also know it's the sort of last resort when they're too hot. On a fairly warm day like today, his basking spot spikes...

More updates on George. He's been in his new enclosure for a few days now and he's starting to get used to it. Every morning he's up at the basking spot for a while before exploring. He usually goes right to the bottom, walks around for a bit, and back up again a few times a day, basking...

So I recieved three boxes of Silkworms today (About 100 silkworms) and put them all in a bigger container, generally kept them very clean and well fed through the day. Sadly I feel I've wasted my time. My sister decided it would be a great idea to leave the door open. We keep the door to that...

I think I'm lucky or something. He hasn't really attested to my handling of him ever since I got him, and today while I was feeding him a butterworm, he rapidly climbed onto my hand and I had absolutely no say in it, so I had him out for 5 minutes (And fed him some delicious calci-worms). Got a...

Hello! George's adult cage is almost now ready for decorating, but first thing first - I'm planning on getting a mistking for this cage due to the size, but I need some help with drainage and would just like some suggestions and ideas. Below are some photos of the actual cage, it is the...

Hello everyone! Here is George sat on my fathers hand after his most recent shedding. He's grown a heap too! This was him 2 weeks ago sat on my hand. My hand is smaller than my Dad's so you get the idea, he was barely bigger than my thumb 2 weeks ago. My best prediction would be...

This has had to be one of the worst days of my life! Some of you may have read from previous posts/threads of mine that I'm arthritic. Last Wednesday, I went for cortisone injections in both my knees to relieve the pain and swelling I've had for a few weeks, and it worked a charm. However, on...

Hey everyone. It has been a little while now since I brought "Panzer" the Panther Chameleon back to my home. He's become quite a popular pet, lots of my mates and even neighbors have been round to see him and he's had some attention (Much more alone time though!). Heres my first thread with...

Does anybody have any experience with this cage for adult Panther chameleons? I was thinking of buying it for my fella' when he's grown up a bit more. The size is perfect for where we keep him but I've not heard much about the actual enclosure. DIY is pretty much a nono for me due to arthritis...

Hello everybody, This will be my last frequent post as I'm now pretty much entirely confident on Panzers growth and health. I don't have any photos of him right now as he has shed today, his first shed with me. Today I just want to ask a simple question. He started shedding around 10AM...

Hey everyone, This is Panzer a week after buying him. He was a bit strange yesterday, he didn't eat much and hid low down in his hibiscus for a while. I think it's because I introduced him to some small locusts, he ate two then went off his food for the day. He's eaten about 7-8 crickets today...
