He shed just a bit ago. Shed just fine. No respiratory noises or bizarre behavior. Like I stated he isn’t acting any different than any other day. Just as active as normal and he doesn’t mess with his eyes at all or anything. He seems unbothered by it just wondering if anyone else has had this.
I noticed tonight my panther chameleon of about 3yrs has some puffiness around his eyes. He seems completely unbothered by it but I was wondering what it might be. I’ll probably schedule a vet appointment soon since we are due for a checkup.
He is not a fan of the iPad taking his photo.
I’m planning on upgrading his enclosure, I’m not sure if you saw where I stayed that the photo posted is old and I have added more foliage since that photo. I will have to look at those gutload lists and so should I mainly focus on feeding crickets and a variety of worms; horn, wax, supers, silk...
When I do get the chance to take them outside I like to have them outside for a minimum of 30min preferably an hour if the weather prohibits. I got them both new bulbs a few months after I got them but I should look into getting some replacement bulbs its probably getting close to the 6month...
I have some photos of things i used/have and I'll just attach those here. I gut load my super mainly with just potatoes and occasionally some lettuce or fruit for hydration but primarily cut up potatoes. I have the linear uva/uvb reptisun lightbulb and I have/had a dripper for both of them as...
So last night my older chameleon Charlie passed away. I'm very upset about this and I don't want to see my other chameleon, his son Bloo, go down the same path. I feel as though I have been taking equal care of both of them if not even favoring Charlie because he seemed to be falling ill so...
She doesn't need LONG tanks she needs TALL enclosures ( I personally prefer the word 'enclosures' over 'cages' ). Chameleons are tree animals. They need the vertical space to climb and explore. You wouldn't put a bird in a rabbit cage would you? I know you seem to mean well. It's rough starting...
I have two panther chams. Both similar enclosures. One of my New Years Resolution is to give them both a good new enclosure makeover. Before I do that I want to find out why the plants in Charlie's enclosure always seem to look ill or die but in Bloo's enclosure they always thrive. They have the...
the frame is fine it just seems like the screen came out of the frame, not ripped or tore just came out. I'm going to see if I can get it back in place when I get the time.
I have a box of supers. I've always stored them in this box with success. But it isn't insulated very well with the cold weather. I've noticed they have stopped moving about 95% I was wondering if they are just too cold or if they are dying on me?
Since the temperatures are dropping (i live in florida so it never gets THAT cold) but will my chams be ok? I keep them inside next to a window and they have lights and basking lamps for the day. My family hardly ever turns the heat on so I'm wondering when is too cold for them at night? what...
My chameleon, Charlie, prefers to be hand fed and he hasn't been feeling well (already took him to the vet and he's going to be ok) but he missed with his tongue a few times so I was holding his food closer to his mouth and instead of biting the worm he accidentally bit my finger!
It hurts a...
I didn't notice anyone mention it, but you said you were feeding your cham meal worms? From what I've found from research and this forum meal worms are a big no-no! (if someone else mentioned it I may have missed it since i mainly skimmed over everything) The exo-skeleton, outer shell thing, is...
I'm trying to look for a scale to weigh my panther chameleons, one of them is over 1ft long, I don't know where to start looking. Any recommendations or advice?
Mainly they eat crickets and super worms daily but occasionally I will throw in a few wax moths. Also I mistakenly posted this under "Health Clinic" but I cant seem to delete it to repost it in the right area.
