Hey everyone! So within the past few months, I've caught Gatsby eating soil out of one of his plants. They are all covered with rocks. but there are still some very small cracks that he can get his tongue through. I know that there's no right answer when it comes to eating soil as many people...

Just wondering what type of fertilizer you guys use for your plants! Currently I have a Hawaiian ti, a Golden Pothos , and a croton(which isn’t doing too hot). So basically no flowering plants. I also have a money tree that he uses for his free roam. Thanks!

Hey everyone! This is going to be a rather long read so be prepared! On June 16th, I had come home from hanging out with my girlfriend only to find Gatsby on the top of his screen cage, hanging upside down. This had been an issue before where he would constantly try to climb on top, and I'd...

Hello again everyone! So recently I've been monitoring Gatsby's (5 month old panther) ambient temperatures. They're hitting a constant 78-80. I have a herpstat and have his basking branch set at 81 (I tried 82 but thought maybe dropping it would help ambient). Any idea how to get it to drop down...

Hey everyone! Today I received my Herpstat one and I'm super excited! Right now I am trying to decide on placement for my probe. Obviously I want it to be on the basking branch or close to it, but I'm worried that if Gatsby bask on the probe that it will give a false reading. What do you guys...

My boy had his first shed since I've owned him today! He's already showing some beautiful colors!

Is it normal for a chameleon to not eat a hornworm? My little guy doesn’t really seem to like them. I’ve tried hand feeding and putting it with his food and he is like wtf is this ?

Hey everyone! I am looking at starting to raise silkworms! I have a 4-5 month old panther chameleon and was wondering where the best places to buy silkworms are. Right now, I am looking at buying eggs, live silkworms, and chow from the same place/person. I can always order the chow from a...

So I think that I am finally going to cave in and get a herpstat! Currently, I only have one chameleon and don't plan on getting another one any time soon (I don't even have space for another ? ). Because of this, I am just planning on getting the single herpstat for right now. I saw on their...

I mean just look at this! How could you not think he's adorable?!

Hey everyone, so it's pretty hot here in Georgia today and I noticed that Gatsby's basking and ambient temperatures have gone up. This is thanks to my enclosure being in a sunroom with a total of 6 windows and two window doors. My question is, what do you guys recommend to keep the temperatures...

If you guys saw my last post, you'll know that I received my first panther chameleon yesterday! And wow, it's been a rough two days with me stressing over everything ? Anyways, I had a dwarf umbrella tree that I planned on using only to find out that it is currently dying. Anyways, I got a...

Today I received my first panther chameleon from Kammerflage! It's been a rough day as he is constantly screen climbing and is getting under the heat lamp. I managed to raise my heat lamp about two inches off the screen. He also just hangs from the top not under the heat bulb. Yesterday my temp...

So I finished building my chameleons enclosure today and I picked up a little trick from my dad a while back that I used on my zip ties. I don't know if this is like something a lot of people know but I might as well share just in case ? Basically, once you cut a zip tie, you can bring a...

Has anyone been able to raise silkworms for your chameleons? If so, how hard is it and is it worth it?

So I have been looking all over the place to find an answer for this and it seems that no one really has a clear one. What do you guys do for your branches that you get outside? I have seen many people say that they need to be baked, but what if you can't fit it in your oven? Also, would that...

So recently I've been looking around everywhere for some organic potting soil. I have looked at Lowes, Home Depot, and a few local hardware and nurseries but still haven't found anything but two "organic" Miracle Gro potting soil. I have seen that most people just say to use any potting soil...

Hey everyone! I’ve recently been looking for some fake vines to use alongside my branches and plants. I’ve seen bad stuff about all of them but I was wondering what you guys use or if you had another suggestion or idea. I want to use them as a place to climb and as a “highway” that allows my...

Hello everyone! So if you've seen me around the forums, I've been attempting to purchase all of the things that I need to house a male panther chameleon. Today's objective was to go to my local lowes and buy a heating bulb. I already have a fixture so I was just needing the bulb. I decided to...

Hello everyone! So today I've been looking at purchasing a uvb light fixture and bulb. I have decided that I want to go with an Arcadia bulb. Right now, I am looking at buying just the plan 36'" light fixture from Light Your Reptiles and buy a 6% uvb bulb. I have seen that there is also the...
