Hey guys, I was just wondering if anybody has any advice on shedding issues. Zephyr has a patch of skin under the base of his tale that has been building up for a while now. We have tried giving him showers, and soaking his bottom with a q-tip, but we do not want to pull it off pre-maturely...

Hey guys, we have tried a lot of different types of bugs for our little guy, but he refuses to eat anything other than crickets, superworms, and a few butters every few months. He is quite bothered by the presence of hornworms (even the small ones), and we can't seem to get our hands on anything...

We just moved into our new place and finally got Zephyr into his adult cage that my boyfriend made him. Check out the picture and tell us what you think. :D Zephyr loves being on the fifth floor of our building, he is so happy that he can finally be the king of the jungle (or parking lot pending...

Finally got around to making a proper album. Thank-you to everyone on the forums who has helped us on this journey of having our first cham. We love him so much and he is growing up so fast! Enjoy the photos and comment if you would like :) Have a great day, Trish, Steve and Zephyr...

Hey Everyone, Our panther chameleon Zephyr is about 10 months, and we have come to the realization that he is definately NOT a Nosy Be panther (as we were told upon purchase). We were thinking that he was an ambanja, but he gets both red and blue bars (purple bar?), so we were wondering if...

Hey everyone! :D Our 6 month old panther Zephyr has been acting pretty crazy lately as he is entering sexuality, and this morning was just another example. We walked by his room today and noticed that he was gnawing on a small piece of cardboard that we use to make sure that the crickets don't...

Hey everyone, We got a call today from the vet and Zephyr's 3rd fecal test came back positive for coccidia. He has been put on medication for this, 0.04ml of "tribrissen suspension", once a day for two doses, then every-other-day for a month. We have been instructed how to administer the...

Hey everyone! We can't seem to locate a new bulb for Zephyr's cage. Our herp guy said that they were being discontinued in Canada, and he was showing us a new light we should get. Does anyone have any more info on this issue? Did they just change names? We can only find Repti-Lights at the...

Hey everyone, yesterday was pretty stressful for Zephyr. We had him out for a cage cleaning, and he seemed fine. We put him back into his cage and soon after, my boyfriend noticed that his anus was coming coming out of his bum and he was pushing really hard. We ran over, and he thankfully...

Everytime that we have taken our 5 month old chameleon Zephyr out of his cage, he has shed the following morning. The first two times were exactly a month a part, but this time, it has only been about 3 weeks since his last shed. Could the stress from us removing him from his cage (putting him...

Hey everyone, I wrote a few weeks ago about Zephyr (5 month, male, Nosy Be Panther) and his lip which seemed to be a bit swollen and discoloured (black spot). The day after we noticed Zephyr's lip, he shed and his lip seemed to seem less swollen. We continued to monitor the lip and even...

Hey everyone, We took Zephyr out today to clean his cage and snap a few pics. We noticed in the photos that Zephyr's lip looks a bit off. Could anyone shed some light on the situation? Picture is posted. Thanks

Hey everyone, My boyfriend and I will be visiting our family this holiday and since Zephyr is a baby, we want to keep him with us to make sure he is okay. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to make sure that this puts the least amount of stress on the little guy. The drive...

Hey everyone! Lil' Zephyr has been growing like a little bean!! Thank you so much for your advice so far! It has helped so much! We took Zephyr out of the cage today to clean and took some new photos since it has been about a month since we got him/her. Zephyr started shedding for the first...

Hey everyone :) I have read a few things on the threads about how to kill gnats. I was just wondering if they were harmful to your cham? I saw my chameleon eat one a few weeks ago, and was wondering if he may be sick. The plant has been removed from his tank and replaced with new baked soil...

Hey everyone. My panther chameleon Zephyr is around 3 months old, his nose to his vent length is around 2". He/she poops everyday, and we have noticed growth since we got lil Zeph two weeks ago. Zeph does not really pay attention to the smaller crickets, and eats around 1-2 medium size (1/4...
