Chameleon sitting near Pitt, PA

[kevintat2]

Like is say, I need a sitter for my panther at the end of March for 4 days. If anyone is in the area please let me know.

Or how would I set him up for me not being there for 4 days. He has a mist king and a dripper and all lights are on timers.

I free range his food, he hasn't got used to cup feeding yet. Plus I couldn't leave food in cup with the mist king going. would it be alright to put some extra crickets in with him until I get home?

If everything is automated, then you could pull it off leaving him alone.
I am not near you or I would offer to sit.
You could use multiple feeding cups with screened bottoms?
Four days without food wont harm a healthy adult chameleon.
Im not sure about a really young one. I would think it could be detrimental to them.

I'm in Pittsburgh and I have 2 panther chameleons. I would be more than happy to babysit for you. How old is your chameleon? I have extra cages and lights and whatnot.

He is 7 month old.

Isn't it great how fast you have a member willing to babysit? We do take care of our own here.

you can have cups for feeding, i have a mistking and have cups (and sunny-d-death traps) but i have either a mesh bottom on the cups or they have lots of small holes for drainage..my crickets have never drown in the cups from the mistking..and if you fill your dripper up all the way and have it drip real slowly it will last 2 days at least..

I looked at the sunny D container to house the food and it looks like a good idea. I will make one of these and see if he will eat out of it. I will try the cups too. Thanks everyone!

you should be fine throwing extra feeders in there as long as the crickets are small their mandibles arent that strong. ive also never had an issue with cricket bites no matter waht the size so maybe im biased
