    Chameleons and Vitamin A

    This is a relatively old article (2003) that has probably been shared before, but I found the information very useful and still relevant. https://jherpmedsurg.com/doi/pdf/10.5818/1529-9651.13.2.23

    Post your dream chameleon species

    If you could have any chameleon regardless of price, import restrictions, size, husbandry requirements, spouse approval, etc., what would it be? My top 3 (in no particular order): Calumma uetzi Bradypodion damaranum Bradypodion pumilum These 3 are all similar in that they can display a...

    Cool Panther Enclosure Video [Dark Den]

    Just watched an interesting video by "The Dark Den" on a new "enclosure" he built for his panther chameleon. I have never seen anyone do anything like this before, but I really like the concept. You will see why I put "enclosure" on quotes once you watch the video:

    Thoughts on Calluma boettgeri?

    A local reptile shop has these for sale and I am considering purchasing either one male or a pair. If I purchase I plan to keep them in 18x12x12 or 18x18x18 Exo Terra glass terrariums with lots of plants in a bioactive setup. From what *very* little information I have gathered online, they are...

    Typical Vet Costs by Country

    As the subject line says I am curious what the typical vet costs for chameleon treatment are in other countries. I took one of my panthers to a local vet in Seoul, Korea yesterday as the tip of his tail was recently cut off and the total cost was about ten dollars (12,000 Korean won) which...

    Tip of Tail Severed

    Had a friend over for dinner with his family last night and let his daughter hold and hand feed my panther chameleon. She wanted to put my panther back in his enclosure and shut the door before his tail was fully inside. About 1 cm (2/5 inches) at the end of his tail was severed. I cleaned...

    New Panther Enclosure

    A few years ago I built a DIY wooden enclosure for my male panther (see build thread here) but the wood at the bottom has started to rot and the acrylic panels in the front have become slightly detached from their frames. Not wanting to go through the arduous process of buying materials and...

    Branches Too Thick?

    Prior to a recent business trip to the Philippines, I asked a friend of mine who runs a golf course there if she knew someplace where I could find some nice Philippine tree vines or branches for my chameleon. She told me she had plenty of fallen branches on her course that she could prepare for...

    Proving Panther Locale?

    I'm no expert. but based on the large numbers of photos I have seen there seems to be such huge color variations among panthers (supposedly) from the same locale that it would be difficult/nearly impossible to prove a locale claimed by owners or sellers. I've seen Ambilobes that look like...

    How Many T5 Tubes?

    Assuming a "typical" plant density (not super dense), how many Reptisun 5.0 HO T5 tubes would be sufficient to provide UVB to a panther chameleon in a 4 foot tall by 2 foot wide enclosure? I am planning to purchase a T5 fixture for my new enclosure soon, and I am deciding between a fixture that...

    DIY Panther Enclosure

    Hello all. I'm fairly new to these forums. Been reading them for about a year but was unable to post due to an issue with registrations from foreign countries (thanks again for your help with this Brad). I'm a US expat in South Korea and the proud owner of a 3 month old juvenile male panther...
