Hanging upside down

[ogkenny]

hey he just started doing this idk why can someone explain?

Is he staying like that all that time? Can you post a picture of your whole set up? What kind of enclosure is that? A fish tank? It does not look like you have anywhere for him to hide.

Almost every morning i find my panther doing the same thing, i really dont see anything wrong with it, when he gets tired he just straighten back up and thats that, or maybe he saw a feeder running around

Please read the attached care sheet on how to house a veild chameleon. Your cage is not adequate and needs to be changed. You need to search the enclosure threads to get an idea on how set up a proper cage. The fish tank you have him in is not a good habitat for him. You have your branch way too close to the lights an he is going to get burned.

My cham hangs around some time too but I think you should have a good on cage setup. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/enclosures/ *edit* lol I think me and carol are thinking the same thing.

yes i know im getting a screen cage i ordered one already fit for his size its 24' tall

 

[carol5208]

ok. Make sure to fill it with lots of plants and vines and branches. Your branch should be about 8 inches down below the light. As I said they can get burned being too close. 24 inches is not very tall for a Veild. Did you mean the 24 X 24 X 48 inch cage?. That is the standard size for a Veild. If you are getting a 24 inch tall cage he will grow out of that very quickly and you are going to have to buy another cage again.

Thanks for the help and this is the one im about to order since i saw it recommended here on the forums

 

[ogkenny]

its 30' height

 

[carol5208]

What are the other dimensions? He will grown out of that like I said. Do you realize you will have to get another cage after that one?

 

[ogkenny]

yes but my money is tight right now i am buying what i can afford right now

If you lurk ebay, sometimes you can get a good deal on a used X-large reptibreeze cage.
At any rate, you do need to get your cham out of that little box ASAP.
