Am I the only one who's seeing early signs on MBD here? Maybe it's just the picture, but the legs look to have a bit of a bend to them, and they certainly don't seem to be providing much support. Not to mention how incredibly skinny they look. Also, the casque just looks terrible. Either way he...
Thanks for the input everyone. I figured this would be the case, but I still wanted to get opinions. I'll just stick with the Breeder Series as I originally planned. Thankfully I have been assured that I will not relieve any gravid females. That said, hopefully the male will eventually be "sex...
I would say so. Panthers, in my opinion, really are the best "first time chameleon." Their care is more simple than other species, their display those amazing colors people often think of when they hear chameleon, and they're tend to be much easier to socialize. Just make sure you do your...
You need way, way, way more foliage in there. I would also second the suggestion of blocking off most of the sides to raise the humidity. Unfortunately montane species really don't make great first chameleons because their husbandry is stricter and fairly different from more common chams like...
I wouldn't worry just yet. These animals are incredibly timid and shy by nature, as such they stress very easily. Moving into a whole new world is a very stressful and tolling experience and it's not at all uncommon for them to go off food for a few days. Make sure you have the proper lighting...
I just have to ask, is your vet a licensed reptile vet? Do they have legitimate experience with chameleons? From what you're saying it sounds like at least the latter is not true. Even a lot of exotics vets have little experience with chameleons. Even then, any exotics vet that legitimate...
I'm not sure what the consensus is on these boards, but FL Chams has pretty varied reviews. At the end of the day they're primarily a re-seller, and do not produce the animals you're buying. In my opinion you're always going to be better off buying for a legitimate, reputable breeder. You might...
HI everyone!
In the next month or so I will be receiving a 1.2 shipment of WC jacksonii xantholophus from Kenya. My current plan is to keep each animal in a large breeder series cage from Dragon Strand. However, I wanted to look into the idea of housing the trio together. If this is possible...
@ChamoNate first thing is first, take a nice deep breath. Just take a few deep breaths and try to chill a little bit. I know you want everything to be perfect for your little dude, but allowing yourself to get so stressed out is actually making things worse. The biggest issue I've taken away...
Hi there!
I'm a somewhat long time chameleon owner but new member to these boards. I'm looking forward to getting to know people here and continuing to explore these wonderful animals with some like minded people. I've owned chameleons for about five years now, so I guess "long time" isn't...
