I'd like to get a general consensus on the positioning of a viv, I've read that a few people believe the viv should be placed near a window (out if direct sunlight) to provide visual stimulation for the chameleon whereas others claim it could be stressful as the animal may try to reach any...
This evening Parker has been acting very strangely trying to get out of his viv, he even managed to wedge himself between his dripper and the glass door and I'm worried in case I've bruised his leg when trying to remove him. It looks sort of like it has been nipped. I'm not sure if it's happened...
My male nosy faly, approx 9 months old, has become a very fussy eater. He'll only eat crickets or hoppers if he's very hungry, I try offering them to him first and usually he'll eat the odd one.
He adores worms, I've currently got butterworms, waxworms and calciworms. I know butterworms and...
I bought some silkworms and a load of mulberry chow, currently out of silkworms but would it be okay to gutload my crickets with the mulberry chow? I'm unsure whether to buy more silkworms and I don't want the chow to go to waste...
One of Parkers calciworms pupated in his viv into a soldier fly, he soon sorted the intruder out but I was wondering if anyone has noticed a swooshing noise when their cham fires their tongue?!
I'd never heard it until today, I wasn't sure if it was him making the noise as he fired or whether...
My nosy faly, Parker, shed about two weeks and a half weeks ago and up until the past 5/6 days he has been eating great. Now he's having one hopper or one cricket (a few days two) and around 3 calci-worms. I was wondering if it's normal for their appetite to slow down after a shed?

I was wondering which supplement people on this forum rate the best for colour enhancement?
And how often the supplement should be used?
I have a 7 month nosy faly male who is starting to show his lovely colours but I want to give him a bit of a boost and I'm not sure which is the best to buy!
I...
My 7 month old Cham has been gaping a lot I've the past two days, his basking is 80-85 and low 70s in the ambient
There is no mucus in or around his mouth or crackling/popping sounds?
Today I found him clinging to the mesh under the basking lamp but and he was dark suggesting he needed more heat...
My panther chameleons viv drops to 55% humidity and rises to around 80 after misting, I've recently read that it should constantly be around 70-80 (with the correct ventilation).
I'm worried tht I'm not misting him enough because he hasn't shed yet and shows no signs of it soon (I got him on...
Over the past few days I've noticed my 7 month old male nosy faly panther to be quite dark in colour
I've just come upstairs now and he's lying/sitting on his branch very strangely and I'm quite worried?
He's the first reptile I've ever owned so I don't really know what to do.
I've noticed a few...
I very very very rarely see my nosy faly male panther cham bask, the basking spot is averaging 86 with ambient 70 but he spends most of his time either at the far left, ambient side or a little forward of his basking spot on the right? Is this normal behaviour? He's quite dark when he's in the...
Can chams get mites?
If so what are the symptoms and what do they look like?
I saw my panther rubbing his head on the wood earlier and thought nothing of it but I was just flicking through some photos I took of him and there's a speck on his chin. I can't decide if it's a mite, pigment or but a...

I've had my first ever panther chameleon, Parker, for a few days now (locale;nosy faly) and I'm wondering the average weight of a 7 month old? I was told he was approximately 6-8 months old (I think he might be younger than that) and I'd like to know if he's underweight so I can make a suitable...

My viv is set up with the basking spot around 29.9 degrees Celsius and ambient 24.4, Parker is 7 ish months old and I wanted to know if this was okay?
Also regarding feeding I have...
