Hello everyone,
Just some background. My cham is about a year and a half old and I have been using Dubia's as the staple of the diet for the last year. I'll also give super worms intermittently and hornworms when he's lucky.
Now the problem is recently he has stopped touching dubia's. For...
Don't worry about not seeing him drink. I rarely see my cham drink ever, but I know he's healthy because of his poop. When they poop it comes out in two different types. There's the actual brown poop, and then there's the white part. If the white part is yellow or has a little orange in it then...

Handling - I do not handle often, maybe once a week for 5 minutes.
Feeding - I feed my cham mainly Dubia roaches with the occasional super worms. Dubia roaches gut loaded with kale and oranges and pears, carrots, etc.
Watering - I...
Roaches have the same problem as the crickets, if he doesn't eat them right away they just hide and disappear forever. And as far as the feeder cup, do you mean one other than the one I already have?, there's a picture of it I attached above. But he doesn't seem to eat out of the feeding cup...
Hello everyone. I've had my male panther chameleon for about 3 months now, I believe he's 4 months old. I've always mainly fed crickets, with occasional super worms and soldier flies. However now things are becoming very frustrating. Every morning I hand feed a few crickets and super worms and...
Here's some tips I think most others on here would agree with;
1. Handle much less often, even if he seems "fine" with it, these animals do not like being held and 3-4 times every day is excessive and will cause stress.
2. 6 crickets is not enough. This is one reason why it's recommended to feed...
I have no idea what the sex is! I was hoping you guy' experienced eyes could help me out. Thanks! (y)

Your Chameleon - Panther, 4 months possibly, probably a female.
Handling - rarely
Feeding - feed mainly crickets gutloaded with kale. Every morning I handfeed ~9 and then let some free range. Also the occasional Dubia roach and black fly from the calcium worms.
Supplements - without D3 every...
I definitely don't have any experience with it, and wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but I think it would be fine. Even though we all stress out about husbandry, the truth is Chameleons actually live in the wild! In the US southeast the environment is fine.
If the weaker bulb is too hot, you can always use an LED light which gives off very little heat. Also, what part of Croatia are you in? I was just there a couple months ago :)
I'll go out on a limb here (no pun intended), and say it won't hurt your cham. Worst case scenario, if they do run rampant you could always just clean out all the substrate and dump em in the garbage. It is a cool idea to have a self sustaining ecosystem going on in your enclosure.
I'd say your guess would be correct! Be careful as those little guys can be poisonous! There were lots of salamanders and newts where I grew up and we would always catch them in the rivers but had to make sure to wash our hands afterwords as the poison lingers on the skin.
Don't see any reason why they would cause any harm. I would probably go ahead and give it a try if I used substrate in my enclosure. I just have nothing on the bottom so I can wipe dead bugs and rubbish away with a paper towel.
