He is so, so pretty. Is this guy an ambanja? If he’s sitting on his basking branch for the biggest portion of the day with dark colors, he’s likely trying to get warmer. My chams do this a lot more as the temperatures drop and the weather becomes colder. Cooler nights in the fall also means...

I thought about this yesterday. There has to be something to this! I had on a black t shirt with a red zip up hoodie. All offending colors lol. Should you ever have the audacity to do your hair differently or put on a bit of make up, they treat you that way 😂 ridiculous

I am wowed by this guy. What an interesting bar pattern! I don’t think I’ve seen so many THICK bars like that, especially so close together. In most ambilobe males I’ve seen, they’re either very large but few (because they take up so much surface area), evenly dispersed, or there are many but...

There may be something to this, lol. Chameleons are definitely not my mom’s speed. She’s far more familiar with typical mammalian pets. Whatever nervousness our designated caretakers are feeling at any given moment is very likely picked up on by chams. I’ve got to learn to stop using Beau as my...

All spot on, so probably not a vit A deficiency :( is it just the one eye? I would feel a bit encouraged by the fact that he’s closing the eye to roll it around and “clean“ it, and not that he’s just sitting there with one or both eyes closed. I’m betting it’s a little bit of something, probably...

Again, relieved to hear it and thank you so much for your input! These guys are definitely sensitive and do not appreciate a change in their usual routine at *all,* lol. My mom is maybe one of two people I trust in my house/around my animals, but she’s way hands off with the chams. I got the...

That’s frustrating, but I’m relieved to hear it also happened after you came back from a trip! Not completely unusual. I am also relieved to hear that you did eventually get your boy taking bugs from you again. Going forward, I guess I’m going to have to treat this like i just got him and leave...

Lovely veiled boy. What supplements are you using, and what is your current supplementation schedule like? I’m also curious as to what you’re gutloading your feeders with, and what is your misting schedule like? Rubbing the eye along branches and rolling it under the eyelid means your...

I recently got a new little guy, named him Gossamer. I’ve had him for a short while (I got him in mid September). He is a very shy boy and immediately hides behind branches when I open the cage door. Up until recently, he was relatively mellow and would let me get a finger under his chin. Twice...

I cannot thank all of you enough for your support. And I owe Beman 20 x over for emotional support, lol. I could die, reincarnate and raise chameleons in that life too and I would still owe Beman lol @dinomom absolutely!! Honestly, this is exactly why I came back with an update. Somewhere down...

I have also read/been told that a diet high in roaches can cause gout, or even a diet of non-roach feeders that are frequently gutloaded with high protein food items. I’m really just echoing what’s already been said twice about upping hydration, as well as taking your spicy girl to the vet. So...

Not difficult at all to empathize with you! That preparing for the worst feeling is beyond awful. I am so glad those days are behind you and your boy ended up pulling through! 💚

I may have to edit this into a more thorough update later on as my brain is currently mush lol Fecal came back clean. It was not coccidia. I also had a fecal done on my newest guy for good measure, and that came back clean as well. So, what was it? A loose bit of leaf on a tree outside that he...

What a nightmare, thank you for sharing your experience! I looked through your posts about it. I can only imagine what your anxiety was like, especially considering that a lot of the initial responses you got were “I haven’t even heard of that parasite.“ Did you have to sanitize your cages with...

Oh jeeze, I’d never even heard of entamoeba Invaden prior to today. Do you have any idea where your boy might have picked it up from? I’m dropping a fecal sample off at a vet tomorrow morning. A vet friend was kind enough to give me 3 CC’s of ponazuril to hold onto just in case it IS coccidia...

I don’t know for sure yet, but I’ve been through this before. Went through this with Beau just before he turned one year old. One of his poops looked *slightly* soft to me last week, but I had been feeding a lot of silkworms. I figured I’d monitor the next poop rather than panic. Fast forward to...

I‘m quite a bit late to comment, I realize 😂 My boy is going on three years old. It’s been my experience that panther males go through color changes throughout the duration of their lives. It *could* come down to stress or inadequate husbandry, sure. But generally these guys just change as they...

How ridiculously cute this guy is 😭

That is the sweetest frickin’ thing. How cool to hear you teach art! I used to work in a kindergarten class 😭 what I’d give for these little guys to draw my nosy be boy

Hi there, so sorry for your loss 😢 You did the right thing by reaching out here. I got my first panther cham in 2021. I hadn’t kept a chameleon in YEARS and there was definitely a learning curve (believe it or not, it gets better!). I got my boy from Fram‘s Chams, so he was very healthy right...
