Usually anything being yellow in droppings indicates that you need to make your cham drink a llllot more. Good luck, hornworms should help and lesser misting sessions but more time on each session will help a lot.

Poor us, we're in Dubai and we have nothing to feed our Chams but mealworms. I think it's based on what he's used to or prefer.

Not experienced that much but they're meant to be left alone and not checked on every 30 minutes as that might stress them out too, happened to me with my cham when I kept on checking on him every single hour or something he showed signs of being annoyed and that when I went away from him he...

Couldn't agree more.

There is a notice-able change in behavior and mood yes. In general it's always good to leave chameleons alone and not have a lot of movement/activity around them. Remember, they're not touchy pets, whenever they shed just make sure that you mist often and that they bask enough to get the shed...

Mist more often for more humidity and try to make him bask in the daytime more, it helps.

Patience is the key. Keep showing him that your hand brings food meaning hand/cup feeding him is the number 1 step that you should do, other than that just be patient and he'll get used to you.

Yeah my chameleon does the same he would just stand there and I'd mist him, he likes it! just don't do what carol5208 said.

Alright let me write you up a few tips and see how it goes: 1- Mist a few times a day making sure that the enclosure is completely dry before misting again. 2- Get a large bowl of water and place it near the basking light. 3- "With mesh enclosures the humidity is much more difficult to...

Do the white bars on his sides turn a bit blue?

Yep, that's most probably an ambilobe. I have the exact same panther, and he has the exact same colors when he's sleeping too.

Depending on him really. My panther really loves me and would love to climb into my hand to free range in the garden nearly every 2-3 days!

I think you're referring to the "basking (spot) lamp". Temperatures look just fine to me, but I suggest doing some research on the forum as I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere in a thread that the wattage can be related to the age of a chameleon. The smaller it is the less watts you need, the...

Ok so I've been doing some reading on RI and noticed that stagnant air and dirty enclosures can cause this even though I'm sure that I change the substrate often and try to keep the enclosure completely dry before misting. I went and cleaned the whole enclosure and noticed that there was a...

I'm quite sure he drinks a lot of water, but will try to do what you told me and will try to make him as hydrated as possible. He seems to do that when I'm around, I left him for around 2 hours and came back, he looked fine but when I misted he started huffing without any popping, he did a few...

Always move slowly around a chameleon, that's what I do. Fast things tend to terrify them, try moving your hand slowly and not towards him.

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Ambilobe, Male, about a year, around 2 months. Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? Whenever he would stick himself out and want to climb on my hand, I free-range...

You know it's simple. Don't make it stress or get angry or make that chin get bigger! and when it does back off and hopefully you won't give us another thing to worry about, we are already worrying enough about them haha!

Congrats on that and your pics just gave me an idea! the hanging plant can be a good free-range "place" for my cham to go to whenever he likes in the day!

I'll support you on that, even though the care sheets on the internet clearly state that chameleons do not drink water from bowls, I'm pretty damn sure I saw my chameleon drinking water from a bowl once it noticed that the dripper is dripping water into the bowl (was used mainly for drainage and...
