can you post pictures of him please?
For gum problems, do you see alot of saliva, any cottage cheese looking gunk, discolored teeth... anything in general that does not fit into the healthy looking category?

I would stay away from supers for now. They generally should be given just as treats, maybe a couple times a week. They have a hard shell that can cause impaction if given to often. Please fill out, copy and paste the form (https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/) so we can give you advice so you wont have any health problems in the future. They can become quite expensive if not taken care of right away!!
 
she seems ok i changed both lights to the proper specifications and she is moving a lot more then the first two days where she did nothing at all she is climbing eating moving all around the dark shades seem to going away slowly so she 11 months old how long will it take till she lays infertile eggs

WElcome.. hope your Cham gets better:eek:
 
Can yo please fill out the form From above. We might be able to figure out if there is something wrong with her!
 
Did you keep her warm while bringing her home?
What temperature is the basking area of the cage at?

We could make sure things are set up right if you would fill out the form at the top of the "health forum" in the "how to ask for help" thread.

VERY PRETTY cham. humidity needs raised for sure. i dont have the time to read threw everything right now but make sure you listen to the other members they will give you good pointers on panthers since they are so common.
