How much should I feed?

[aferland66]

Hi, I have Panthers and Yemen chams, and would like to know how much I need to feed juveniles and adults, and at what age do the diets need to change?

Hoping for some experience breeders/owners to answer.

Thanks.

generally for males babies eat 12-15 a day until 5-6 months than 6-8 a day at a year or so you should drop to 6-8 every other day hope that helps

Not a breeder. The babies pretty much feed as much as they can eat. At about 4 months I was feeding about 15-20 1/4inch crickets a day. At about 5 months I introduced a second feeder, such as a super worm or silkworm. At about 6-7 months I was cutting back the intake as the feeders were getting bigger as was the chameleon. So about 10 feeders a day at this point. By about a year maybe 6 feeders or so a day. Alot of members(including) my breeder cuts back to every other day at about 13 months, 6-7 feeders. Some people cut back earlier. There is nothing set in stone.
