Fritz is tolerating some handling now. 2 or 3 times a week he will let me hold him for a few minutes at a time. Sometimes he keeps ahold of a branch with one foot still but usually he lets go. Slow and steady we have been going and it is paying off. Here is a picture taken today.

Today, my Fritz let me hold him for the first time. He let me slide my hand under him and pick him right up. He did keep ahold of his branch with his tail, but he stayed on my hand for a minute or 2 and I tried to move my hand and he stepped off. I didn't get a picture of this but took one right...
:D I have had my nosy be for almost 2 months now, and have been giving him a lot of time and privacy, but still slowly working on getting him to trust me. I haven't held him yet, but today he did walk across me hand :). I am very pleased with this.

3 months ago I told my husband I wanted a chameleon, and I started my research, learned what I needed to keep one, and picked a breeder. Now I have had my panther 1 month and a new baby veiled a few days. I love them. Every time my husband and I go into ANY store we look to see if there is...
:D today I took little Munch out to get some sun. He was having a good time moving around he ficus and getting sunshine, until a delivery man walked up on the porch, and he turner around and practically jumped into my hand to make sure he was safe. The picture makes him look bigger than he is...
Today was Fritz's first shed. I knew it was coming since I have had him a month now, and he has been extra moody the past few days, but when I walked in the room and saw him I immediately thought "what's wrong, is he dehydrated?" and about 10 seconds later I realized what I was seeing. Poor guy...
Earlier this week I took a test and became a board certified cosmetologist. As congrats my husband got me this little veiled guy, who I named Munch. He is so tiny.:D

I have been reading the care sheets and threads on the forum and as well as info from my breeder, so now I have a question about my chameleon & his supplements since I think they are different from each other. He is a male panther, just over 4 months old now, kept indoors. in my 'owners manual'...
I got brave and tried to hand feed Fritz a superworm today. I couldn't do it. If taming him means having to let one of those things crawl on my had it wont happen. I can handle the crickets but the worm was too creepy :eek:

Hi. I had to take one of my cams plants out today because I noticed water sitting on top of the rocks over the soil, it happened to be sitting where the mister water tends to drip off of the vines. What should the humidity be for a panther chameleon? His humidity reader us usually between 50 and...
Today I gave my little man his first superworm. At first he wanted nothing to do with it until it started to climb the screen, and then it was love. He dropped from his celing to his tree, watched it for about 30 seconds and then grabbed it up. I think he wasn't sur what to do with it at first...
Venting here for a little. I am a newer chameleon owner, so I don't know if this is normal. I am not a child here, I am an adult, a military veteran, who recently graduated from cosmetology school. Today I stopped at the school I graduated from a month ago, to get my hair done and see some...
There is this chameleon I see often at the pet store, a female Jackson, who has been shedding for at least a month now :mad: I love her but won't buy her since she is at a pet store and only an object on the shelf to sell and if I take her home another one will replace her in her poorly set up...
