    Chewing Wood!!!

    Hi! Our 1.5 year old Panther Chameleon has just started displaying the odd behavior of chewing the branches that he has and even the rubber vines (not actually eating!) When I first got him I fairly regularly offered him Winter greens (called something else in America but I can't remember...

    Can Chameleons drink too much?!

    Hi I have a 1 year old Panther Male, he has a new cage which is actually a Parrot Cage but he seems to love climbing around the bars and we have got around the heat escape problems with lots of fake leaves around the top and my girlfriend is pregnant so we have the heating up super high all the...

    How badly should I panic?

    Our Panther Cham just went to the toilet and there was a couple of spots of blood after the faeces. The faeces itself had no blood in it but his vent looked sore and red when it was exposed. I think he had got deyhydrated because there was no water in the matter. He has not been eating...

    knocked up and with chameleon!

    Hi! we have just found out that my girlfriend is 8 weeks up the duff, and she is a little upset because I told her it would probably be best if she didn't handle the chameleon. I am in the understanding that lots of reptiles carry salmonella, I'm not sure how true this is or whether it...

    Eye colouration

    I put a rubbish post on this a while ago but did not have access to a camera, I just wanted to show this eye coloration change and query whether this is normal and whether anyone could hazard what it might be indicating. He has only just started doing it and its usually when he is very active...

    Junk food!!

    I did a post on this a while ago but I thought the situation was resolving itself, but alas no! Our Panther will only eat wax worms (or junk food as we have coined them!), I have tried everything I can think of- We have kept a close watch on his weight with electronic scales and starved him for...

    New colour change?!

    Since I have had our Panther his colour changes have consisted of- Darker for too cold or bored (possibly?) Lighter for freaking out like when the the vet opened his mouth brighter colours when angry or threatened, with his throat flare thing out. brighter colours with flare in when he is...

    Cultivating mossy branches?!

    Hi! I was giving a friend a hand with some work at a local arboretum today and he showed me some interesting techniques they use when they want to keep an interesting fallen tree (for aesthetic value). They get hold of a few clumps of moss and break them down with yogurt and earth in a big...

    New feet problems!!!

    We are just having one problem after another at the moment! The previous problem that he was dehydrating, and we found (with help from here-Thank you) that I was not spraying the tank for long enough to stimulate drinking, we also just found by trial and error that putting a Pothos plant in...

    Little huffs?!

    Probably being over worried but we notice from time to time that our Panther makes a small snorting noise (not the angry hiss) you can only hear it if he is sat on you but its like a small sneeze or a little out breath of air. Normal?

    How much do they drink?

    Hi! We recently had a scare with our Panther, who's tongue got a little stuck out for about half an hour, with the phone help of our local reptile shop owner and no help what so ever from the vet who correctly identified him as a chameleon then charged us 20 bucks! We got it back in spraying it...

    Any thoughts on home made mister before I install?

    Any thoughts on this design before I properly install it? I had most of it around from an idea to keep mudskippers that never came to be. It drips about every 4 seconds and produces a steady flow of mist, I was thinking of having it on a timer for 5 mins 3-4 times a day. Only thing I was...

    Any ideas on locale?

    Hi! New to forum and new to Chameleons but fairly old hand at reptiles in general, I wanted to introduce Barry, the newest member of the family and ask if anyone could take a stab at the locale? I'm chuffed to bits with him, after reading up on them I was lead to believe that he was gonna be...
