Hey folks,
I've got a new baby Panther on the way (yay!) and I'm getting his enclosure ready. There was (coincidentally) a reptile show in the area, and I went with my wife and some friends mostly for fun.
While I was there, I stocked up on items to get ready for his arrival.
One of...
I think I'm going to lose my little guy.
He had a little eye infection back in September, which cleared up no problem thanks to some help people posted.
Now, however, I have no idea. He's going to the vet first thing tomorrow morning, no doubt about it. I think this post is more for me...

Yesterday I tossed 5 or 6 crickets in his feeding container. He just sort of stared at me, as...
Hey folks,
As my Panther chameleon grows into adulthood (he's currently 10 months) I've noticed that his claws don't seem to be very developed.
I've examined his feet, and he definitely has claws, but they're very small. They're almost like fingernails instead of true claws.
Is this...
I have a 9 month old Panther who's been doing great overall. Lately he's had a couple minor setbacks though, but I still think he's doing very well.
First of all, I burned him a couple of weeks ago. This was my fault, I replaced his bulb and lamp with a higher wattage, but farther from the...
