I want to repaint the room my cham is in... right now its off white/tan... I want to paint it charcoal with white trim as well as 1 dark charcoal almost black accent wall which will be across from the chameleon's cage on the opposite side of the room. Will this effect his behavior? I wear black...

Mathesar usually shows me his "good" side. I literally have hundreds of pics of him always sitting in the same spot with one side to me... so no wonder I never really noticed this happening. I saw this little spot on the outside of his lip when we got him as a baby Sept 2012... Sometimes it...

I noticed that if I walk up to Mathesar's cage with sneakers or socks on, he wont take his eyes off of my feet and he tries to hide. He is fine with my bare feet though... What things have you noticed your cham is afraid of?

Hi all. My panther seems to be on the skinny side. Looks like I can see ribs or indents where the ribs are near his hind legs. He has plenty of crickets in his feeder cup... he gets worms as treats... it just seems like he is eating but not gaining weight from eating. He is getting enough...

Hi all. Got a question. FINALLY got an IR thermometer... I am trying to measure Mathesar's basking area... He loves his bendy Fluker's vine. I cannot seem to get an accurate measure and it reads really low (70s). If i put my hand there, I feel it... so its definitely more than in the 70s...

Hi everyone. When I first got my panther chameleon Sept 2012, I had an Exo Terra 75 watt infrared spot basking bulb (red)... it burned out with 3 months of use (daytime use except for maybe 2 nights in his temp enclosure which was in a cooler location of the house). After that bulb burned...

It was my fault... I left his reptarium open a bit so that the plants can get more sunlight... I have done this pretty much since I have gotten him and for a while I had put a branch that extended from his reptarium and went over to the windows that are 2 ft away from his cage- he always was...

I will start it off- I have a blue bar ambilobe... as a total noob, I chose this locale because I liked how they showed a "rainbow" of colors. My husband helped me pick as well. My 2nd runner up was a Nosy Be (which I hope to buy this year sometime). Actually, if I had my way, I would have one...

I edited these with Lightroom (still learning it!!!). Basically am trying to get that HDR look but have a lot to learn. Enjoy the pics.

Lately, I have been spending a bit more time trying to get my ambilobe to climb on my hand/arm. Normally I stick my hand under his foot and he grabs on but my arm tires so badly after a while- before he can climb fully onto me. He hates it if i try to put a stick anywhere near him to...

He is eating this morning... wish I had this pic before the contest was over.

He is around 5 to 6 months old... sorry I couldnt get a clear shot but you get the idea... :)

Here are some pics from the other day... now if i can just get him to stop being so scared of me...

***Real Touch not Real Feel SORRY!!*** Hi all. I was in a craft store yesterday looking to get some more vines/plants for my cham. I found a few things I like and they were half off so that is why my husband and I bought them. I have one that is made of some sort of rubber or latex... it...

Anyways, he is getting colorful!

Hi guys. My husband bought an Exo Terra heat glow 75 watt for my cham... the bulb housing supports 100 watts. The bulb burned out at almost exactly 3 months of use. Is this normal? I also saw on a website (where I get all my koi stuff) that it was half price than at Petsmart so I might just...

I noticed Mathesar (I may change his name to The Stig) was hanging by his tail and front legs in his temp enclosure... He stayed there for a while and I got some pics. The sun was out and he was basking by the window... even though he puffed up a little he still looked silly.

About 3 nights ago, I was rearranging something on top of the cage and I saw movement... I also heard some noises. I grabbed a flashlight to see what that was and I saw a few crickets between the mesh and the background. I got them out of there but there have been more since. There is a groove...
