I had planned to get an Ambilobe panther cham from Kammerflage for my 21st birthday, but the 'rents are not having it due to the fire hazard of the basking bulb/fixture.
I have read through this thread:

Hey all,
For my Six Sigma & Statistical Process Improvement course at Uni I'll be conducting a study based on the performance of two brands of digital thermometers relative to each other.
I am interested in this topic because I purchased a Zilla digital thermometer for about $6-$7 on...
My guesses are "no," but I saw a post from a veterinarian office of a panther chameleon that obviously had bad mouth rot and was very dehydrated. It was a patient of theirs.
The caption of the photo said that the panther showing this new orange color was a sign that he was sick and that he...
Hello everyone.
I am sad to say that I took my baby boy to the vet today, only faced with the difficult decision to relieve his pain. His health had plummeted within a day and a half. The doctor was stumped as to what could be harming him - she could only speculate. I am so very happy that I...
Hello all, I am sad to inform you that my adult male Jackson's chameleon is not doing so well. There have been no changes in his husbandry and no changes in behavior up until last night, so this is coming to me as a bit of a shock.
Anyway, here is what has happened:
Last night (~10pm after...
I read through a few previous threads, but unsure what to make of this tonight.
What causes a chameleon to move during the night, while asleep in complete darkness?
I checked on my Jackson's chameleon (around 10PM without harsh lighting) to see that he was somewhat hanging off the branch...
Commentary by Max the Jackson's chameleon.
What's that clicking black thing my human is holding? I think I'll keep a close eye on it. Maybe there's food inside.
Hey, cool things are out of the window.
It feels warm here. Think I'll flatten out and bask. I trust my human...
I tried to search for these answers, but I'm having issues because I'm on my phone. Posting a link to potential answers would be great too.
1) Where to position the nozzle. Obviously at the top, but do you want it to spray the designated basking spot? Or just on a patch of leafy vines...
Could you believe he was raised most of his life in a major chain pet store??
Every store is different. Fortunately the stores nearest to me, where I purchase my crickets/supers, knows and cares about chameleons. It CAN be done! :) We must be the change.
Here he is resting colors/body...
Finally done with this beauty. Well, almost.

Now she just needs many more vines and leaves.
This is my first time woodworking something of this size.
Everything purchased from the good ol' Home Depot. All sanded wood, built the shape first then covered the sides...
2x2x5...all done, will post photos shortly...though there are 2 places (very small) that two pieces of wood don't quite touch. I have 3 crickets in there now to see if they can find a way out overnight, but...
Does anyone have any idea of a Cham-safe way I could plug up these couple holes...
I remember reading about it on a Melleri thread, that the Meller's was acting lethargic and the owner used this item (I don't think it was ReptiBoost but something similar) orally and the Melleri perked right up. A forum member recommended it.
I remember visiting the site and reading about it...
When this veiled got to me, it was obvious of the slight dehydration and URI. No bubbles, but a popping/clicking noise constantly. Puffed up even at night. I have talked to the owner and we will be seeing a vet together when she returns.
My main issue is this: at a very young age, we sexed...
My adult male Jackson's (~2+ years) has been eating a lot less recently. I haven't noticed weight loss, his eyes show he is hydrated, he is very active. Though because this is a new trend I thought I'd ask:
Should I be worried that he will only eat one bug, MAYBE two every other day?
I...
I have an old 18x18x36 ExoTerra terrarium that hasn't been in use for a very long time. I'd like to use it, so I was wondering if it would be beneficial to grow chameleon-safe plants in it for later use (I have an abundance of pothos that are too short!).
My main questions are:
- Out of the...
I have two enclosures - one that is empty (16x16x30 glass with an open front) and my male Jackson's enclosure (18x18x36 screen). The empty one, although no animals, has branches/vines in it still. Sometimes I connect a vine across the gap to this terrarium and he has a ball walking from one to...
