Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Ambilobe Panther, Male, 11-12 months. 8 months, I was misinformed of age and gender at purchase?
Handling - 3-4 times a week
Feeding - Currently 4-5 dubias every other day, every other feeding I throw in a 1-2 hornworms sometimes. I gut load by dubias with...
He has been naturally reducing he’s been eating about 4 every other day at this point. He is actually about to start shedding again he’s been growing so fast.
I made sure I folded the tape I do have in there down (the sharp pole and edges of feeding cup). I actually learned this the hard way...
After cutting down to every other day he seems to be doing the same, maybe even better haha. I’m also feeding hornworms (1-2 depending on size) every other feed. This is a crazy transformation from the beginning of this post.
I apologize I just now saw this, he has been eating less and mainly eating dubias and he’s gone a few days without the waxworms, hornworms, or silkworms because they either died or got ate. I should be getting more in this week.
Pascal seems to be doing way better after almost a month of the changed diet. He’s reduced his feeding on his own to about 4-8 bugs a day with at least 4 being some med-large dubias and the red is either waxworms, hornworms, or silkworms (depending on how much he already ate. He recently just...
After 2 weeks: I’ve got the silkworms and waxworms delivered and he’s been eating those and deleting my Dubia population. He seems to be more active and he’s eating around 8-10 bugs a day now.
He seems to be liking the dubias more than anything anyway so that problem solves itself. Funny enough these were the most massive stools I’ve ever seen him drop. I almost feel sorry for the poor thing dropping those absolute UNITS.
As promised here is a week’s progression: Pascal has been eating way more everyday. He’s been on a dubia roach, superworm, and hornworm diet eating about 4-8 everyday as he pleases. He couldn’t eat twelve, but it’s a significant increase to what he’s used to. I ordered some waxworms and...
He is super active so I’m ruling the parasites out as well. I’m going ASAP to buy some in the morning because he already ate 4 significantly large dubias today. Seeing those Chameleons really puts into perspective how much he should be eating. His more vivid colors only started coming out maybe...
If you have any tips on where to go for fecal testing or any feeding suggestions I am open to everything I love my little guy. I’m thinking of changing his name to Pascal.
I was told he was a female when I first bought him. I was told to feed about 2-3 bugs every other day. I started out with crickets and super worms, then at about 8 months I switched almost exclusively to dubia roaches and hornworms.
I have not gotten a fecal test, however, his poop and urate...
1 year old panther chameleon, had it for about 6 months. I always thought it was a female but as it gets older I’m leaning more toward male. I would like some confirmation please I’m going crazy.
