My chameleon had something that looked similar when i got him.
About a half inch up from the end of his tail was a section that had a bit of a bump and divit all the way around the tail. he also didnt seem to be bale to bend the area immediately after that very well..
Now that he's a little...
Congrats!
It takes a great deal of patience to earn some chameleons trust. Keep working at it and I'm sure she'll come around to being comfortable around you!
I would start by filling this out.
That should give us enough information to help you start to figure this out.
Also posting some pictures of your chameleon may help us figure out whats going on in case it's something other than dehydration.
He looks to be fine to me. Panther chameleons aren't really big lizards even when full grown (maxing out at about 12-18 inches, head to tail.) They also continue to grow at a decent rate for about the first year of their life, though it does start to drop off at around the age your chameleon is...
Please consider a lot of these "people on the internet" have many years of experience with chameleons specifically, not just exotic animals in general, and a very large portion of them deal with chameleons on a professional level.
The opinions you find here tend to be very well educated and...
All the above. Like I mentioned, mine hates certain shirts my sister will wear from time to time, always bright colors, otherwise he's fine around her (color factors). He doesn't mind me or my brother-in-law in almost any atire thanks to the hand feeding and such I've done with him. We're about...
That cricket feeder looks awesome! Whats it made from?
I'm using something similar made from a half gallon milk carton with some screen hot glued to the back, but I'd love to have something that looks that nice in there instead haha.
It may have something to do with the frequency he sees you in the uniform.
I know that my cham will get upset if he sees my sister in certain brightly colored shirts as well, so fashion sense could be a factor too ;)
This all goes back to childhood for me.
When I was really young I had a fascination with dinosaurs (as I'm sure a lot of kids do) and even wanted to be a paleontologist. I distinctly remember one day going to a pet store and seeing a Jackson's Chameleon there. The three horns it had instantly...
This sounds much more plausible than a change in the environment being the cause of these sorts of symptoms.
The more info you can give us, the better we can try to help you get your chameleon back in good health.
Typically speaking, you want your bulb to stay on all day.
To make sure it isn't getting too hot for your chameleon you need to adjust where the basking area is in relation to the bulb until you find a distance that gives the proper temps for basking. You also need to have an area for the...
My panther isn't very fond of roaches either.
I can get him to eat them out of my hand occasionally, but usually only one or two before he catches on to these being those things he doesn't like and starts checking out what im holding before just going for it.
This doesn't stop me from mixing...
I haven't tried Cricket Crack, but I can vouch for Bug Buffet.
The feeders go absolutely crazy for it and it's made with some really great ingredients. Bug Buffet definitely has my recommendation.
You can order some by sending SMCNARY a PM here on the forums.
