    Chameleon seems off after new edition

    Kharma my 5 mo old male panther has been staying lower in his enclosure and on the screen and his color has been darker than normal. 2 days ago we brought home a bearded dragon and they are sharing a room.

    My cham didn't leave his sleeping spot yet

    What’s wrong with this poop ??

    Sorry to make you look at poop. My 4 mo old male panther chameleon has some runnyish poop. He’s not been eating a ton. We just moved him to his big boy enclosure 4 days ago and he’s getting used to it. He’s eating mostly crickets with some silk worms. I offer more but he’s not into it. I have...

    Karma seems better today

    I was very worried about my little guy sleeping on the floor of his baby bin last night. Tonight he is in the bottom of his enclosure but he's on a branch this time. He's had a busy day with some time out on a plant while I cleaned up his baby bin. (right next to me of course) Super exciting...

    Help. Is something wrong? He’s sleeping on the bottom of his enclosure

    I have a 3.5 month old male panther that I got yesterday. He’s asleep on the bottom of his baby bin. He ate well today and had a really nice poop with white urate. It’s damp down there in the bottom from the misting. I’m worried. He basked a good bit today. what do I do?

    What kind of soil can I use for my plants inside the enclosure?

    I know I need to use an organic soil without fertilizers and things that could be toxic to my cham but what about things the plants need to grow? What’s safe? I have a Jungle Dawn light to help with giving it the uv light. I am having isopods and springtails in the pots. I’m not great with...

    Bioactive or not?

    I would like to hear from y'all who has a bioactive type of substrate in their chameleon enclosure. I know that there are lots of disagreements about this but I would like to hear from those who use it and those who have but didn't like it. It doesn't have to be like the whole 9 yards, just if...

    Gut loading worms

    I have a question about worms. I’m planning to feed my baby panther soldier fly larva and dubia roaches (if I can get him to eat them) with horn worms thrown in for good measure and maybe a superworm here and there. They come in little cups with food at the top. Do you try to add to that or is...
