My panther chameleon, Riki has started to eat dead leaves, and eating less of his normal food. this pattern started to happen 2 days ago. Any suggestions and is this normal?
I have a panther chameleon who is small for his age. He is 8 months and weighs 29 grams, he is pretty small and someone who has a lot of experience with chameleons tell me I has feeding him too little. He is very healthy otherwise and has a very healthy appetite. Anything I can do to gain his...
Hello, I'm just here to thank these wonderful people, Ginger and Rodney Scott at House of Chameleons. About a week ago, I called them because I was going out of town and my vet said they went to him. We called them and they said my cham Riki for 2 weeks for FREE. I didn't need to bring feeders...
I'm having problems giving new foods to my cham. I try offering superworms in his cup, but he just refuses. Ive tried putting them on the wall, but they fall off. I know it's weird that a cham refuses superworms, but he eats dubia, hornworms, silkworms, crickets, and the occasional blue bottle...
Hey people of forum, I have had this little young chameleon named Riki for a while. The store I bought him from (I special ordered this guy, they are a pretty high quality reptile store) said he was an Ambilobe panther chameleon. He has a little red around his eyes (developed after his 3rd shed...
I know there isn't a green barred ambilobe, but my guy is super green so that's what I think of him. I've posted many threads asking about him, and I got some sweet pics.
My local herp store just stocked in some dubia roaches. I just decided why not and bought 2, because my cham has never had roaches before. They took so long to get out of the box! I grabbed them by the shell and they are just so slippery! One of them went to the bottom and is just camping out...
Are these roaches ok for chameleons? My local reptile shop sells these but not dubia. Are these an ok substitute? I hate keep ordering dubia online (my mom won't let be breed) I heard they produce an odor unlike dubia when threatened, can this hurt chameleons? Thanks, Jason.
Does anyone on the forums know or how they cupfeed? My guy usually ignores his cup, maybe because it is the bottom of a Dasani bottle. Does anyone have any techniques that anyone can share? Thanks, drago.
Hi, I have a question about feeding superworms. I try placing them on the wall but they squirm so much that they fall off the walls. I try feeding them through a clear cup but he ignores them. Can I place them in his ficus and will they not fall off? Any advice considered. Thanks!
I have owned a (now healthy) Panther chameleon since February, he eats a lot (5 silkworms, 2 hornworms, 3 butterworms, 10-12 crickets, and like 35 BB flies) and he has only shed once in the time I have had him. He has had an amputation of 1/3 of his tail and I am afraid I have stunted his growth...
Hello, I am thinking of starting a dubia roach colony the only thing needed is a container. Is a 7" high, 18" long, and 12" wide container sufficient for a small colony of about 50? Thanks, Drago.
I have a really good idea for catching house flies from outside. Is it safe for a chameleon to be eating the house flies from outside? My mom doesn't want to buy blue bottles, so is this recommended?
What is the ambient and basking temp for a Panther chameleon? My guy eats and drinks great, but he seems like a light brown with his stripe showing. He is 6 - 7 months, and my current basking temp is 88-92.5 F, and ambient is 72 F. Should it be lowered? I have a Reptisun 100 watt bulb for...
I own a Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 UVB for my 6 month ambilobe panther. I looked around online and I heard it can hurt reptiles eyes, but it is rare. Should I be concerned? Any advice appreciated.
Hello, I'm thinking of getting other feeders for my 7 1/2 month old Panther chameleon. I currently feed him crickets, hornworms, silkworms, and butterworms. I will get Dubias, but I don't know where to get them. Any other things I should try? (I live in California)
Hello people of the forum,
I own a panther chameleon that sometimes has his mouth very slightly open on the sides. It doesn't affect him when eating, but online, it says it could be MBD in the jaw or a UVB problem, but I don't think so. He eats hornworms, silkworms, crickets, and butter...
