My female Panther laid her second dud clutch of the season and hasn't eaten much. This was two weeks ago.
She is housed in a 24x24x48 screen enclosure.
Ambient temp is about 78. Basking temp is 86.
Automatic mister 5 times a day at 30-90 seconds each cycle.
She is about a year old...
My female began digging her hole in the lay box, this morning.
I just peeked in on her and she has turned around and is laying her eggs, now.
I should know... But, how many unfertilized clutches of eggs will she lay this year?
Thank you!
I have not been able to find a current source for silkworms. Everywhere I look, they seem to be out of stock or only offering eggs for sale.
Does anyone know where they might be currently available?
Thanks!
Lately, I have been feeding my crickets the day old crested gecko diet that my geckos don't finish. It gets a little hard and brittle after sitting in the gecko food dishes. The crickets completely devour it and already has plenty of good lizard nutrients.
Of course, I still feed the...
Suddenly, my ficus tree in my female Panther cage has an infestation of fruit flies. I took the tree out of her cage and a small swarm of the nasty things was buzzing around the tree like the dirt cloud that follows Pigpen from Peanuts. (some of you may be too young for the Peanuts reference)...
So as the title says, I have a very aggressive male Panther.
First of all, anytime I open the cage door to clean or throw in some crickets roaches, worms, etc., he will get his body really thin and try to 'hide' in place. Then, if I get within a few inches of him with my hand, he will puff...
Has anyone else noticed the sharp wire cuts on the upper most portion of the Exo-Terra and Zoo Med hanging plants?
I find that I will clip them down as far as possible and then cover up that cut with hot glue to prevent my lizards from cutting themselves.
I find it hard to believe that...
I re-purposed an old desk, a TV stand and some tall end tables.
Male and Female Panther Chameleon in each of the large cages. Crested gecko and female Leachianus Gecko in smaller glass tanks and larger Crested Gecko in the larger glass tank.
Coming in the near future:
2-3 more Crested...
I received this little guy from The Chameleon Company, today. Jim was very helpful and waited for the weather to warm a little bit before shipping. I would highly recommend this breeder.
As you can see, Samson Jr., wasted no time in eating. He was also very thirsty from his long journey and...

I've just ordered a Leachie and she will be here on Thursday.:eek: I'm so excited to add another lizard to my collection!
I decided to wait on the giant waxy monkey frogs, for now. Leachies are so much more interesting.
I'll post some pics soon.
I'd like to get some feedback from experienced keepers to see how long you've been able to keep your chams in your care.
I know things can happen very quickly and unexpectedly with these creatures. So, I think it would be interesting to compare the different species life cycles.
If...
I've had her in my care for about a month now and she had grown from the boy I thought she was into a good looking pre-pubescent girl.
First pic is from Feb. 6 and the second is from today.
I think she will make a fine breeder. I will carefully search for her boyfriend as I only want the...
I just received some silks and hornworms and am trying to offer to my female Panther.
She seems very disinterested. However, I will offer a cricket and she immediately takes it from my hand.
Is there anything I can do to get her to take the silks and horns?
Thanks!
After discovering that the 'male' Ambanja Panther that I purchased is actually a female, when should I have an egg bin ready for her to deposit her eggs?
She is about 4 months old now.
Thank you.
Hi Chameleon Forums!
I'm new to the forum and I'm glad I found this great resource for information.
Here's the issue(s):
Approximately 4 month old male Ambanja Panther.
I handle him very infrequently-maybe every other day or less.
He feeds on crickets, Dubia roaches and mealworms. He...
