    Chameleon Living Arrangement - Advice Needed

    Long story short, I'm moving out of my current place due to harassment/threats from a neighbor (there's some drug use going on and I don't want to be around it) in a month and my coworker offered to let me stay in her house while she's in CA during May for free in exchange for looking after her...

    Petsitters - How to instruct?

    I'm leaving for a week and a half on vacation and have a friend watching my cham. I have all of the watering/misting automated and was thinking of filling dixie cups with crickets (and feeder) that he could leave in the cage every day for minimum fuss. Anyone have any other ideas on making...

    Luring a chameleon

    My panther (~1 year old now) somehow crashed through the bottom of his enclosure yesterday afternoon and I haven't been able to find him in my house. Any ideas on how I could lure him out or suggestions? I've searched the house high and low. :(

    Sudden behavior change

    My 5 month old panther has suddenly started behaving weirdly; for the last month or two he has always come down to the lower front of the cage in the mornings (I feed him the same time every day) and hung out there for a while usually. Over the last couple of days he goes up to his basking...

    Shedding frequency

    Hey guys, I was wondering how often I should expect my cham to shed. He's about 5 months old (panther) and I've seen him do it once at about the 3-month mark.

    Brown/Dry skin?

    I noticed that my panther (5 months old) today suddenly got a brownish patch on his head that looks quite a bit like dry skin. It goes from the tip of his mouth to the crest, and nowhere else. Is this related to shedding in the future, or something I should be concerned about?

    Jailbreak (please help!)

    Sometime after 5pm yesterday, my cham (6 month old panther) escaped from his enclosure...I think he snuck through the bars across the base and must've wandered out. I've been tearing my place apart looking for him and set up a vineway back to the cage from the ground...any advice? :( Also, I...

    Shedding

    I came home from work yesterday to find that my juvie panther (~5 months old) apparently had shed while I was gone. He has a little patch on his nose still, but I saw larger chunks of skin throughout the cage. I was wondering if shedding this quickly is normal, and if I should leave the bit on...

    Drainage puppy pads

    Hey all, I had a bit of an inspiration last night and wanted to get feedback on the idea... I have a pretty limited drainage system, but got the idea of using puppy training pads (without any chemical additives) as a liner for the bottom of cages, as they absorb moisture well, plus are cheap...

    First week

    Hi guys, just celebrated my first week of being a newbie cham owner of a 3-month-old panther named Jake. I thought I'd put some pics up of my guy and his enclosure...I'm still trying to get drainage sorted out, but otherwise it's been a great ride. He'll even eat from a cup when I hold it out...

    Cleaning schedule

    I'm wondering how often a cham cage should be fully cleaned (and the best way to do it?), rather than just spot stuff and removing the paper towels/whatnot from the base of the cage. Thanks!

    Cricket tricks/alternatives?

    I'm a new panther owner (he's just a little guy still, eating 1/2" crickets) and am wondering if there are any tricks to feeding...I have a hard time catching crickets and I am a little worried he isn't eating as many as he should be at this age. Alternatively, is there another mainstay...

    Young Panther Behavior

    Hey all: I'm new, just got a juvenile panther chameleon a couple of days ago after a LOT of good advice from browsing this forum. I'm wondering what sorts of behaviors I should expect from my panther, just on a daily basis (like activity level) or any other things I should be aware of early...
