Plants and baby panthers

[Kboz1991]

Okay I have 2 very small panther chameleons under a month. I got a ficus tree from lll reptile I washed out 3 times wroth antibacterial soap and repot it in organic soil wroth coco husk on top and rocks on top. Right now I have the 2 in a tote and I think it would be good to let them roam around a bit in a bigger tree I'm going to keep a close eye on them off course. Just wanted to know if that is good enough cleaning of the plant for them.

Not sure if I'd leave the rocks on the bottom , just in case they fall, they'd have a soft landing. What I did was soap once rinse 3 times. Reported and rinse down. Just make sure ethereal soaps all cleaned off cause they are known to bite the leaves and eat them. Mostly drink from them.

Chameleons should not be kept together. The only reason babies are ever kept together is in a breeding situation. Babies do best when separated as do all panthers.

yea I washed it 3 times and let it run under the shower for 20 mins after the 3 washes and rinses. I have the two together because they are less than 2 months and are from the same clutch. when they get to 2 or 3 months I plan to separate them. this is what I was told to do by 3 different breeders so I can track their food intake. I have their cages all ready to go but they are way to big for them or that's were they would be. trust me if I see one fighting for food basking spots stuff like that I will separate them asap. I don't like them being in a tub anymore than they do I have 2 big cages and now I have a big tub lol.

Oh ok, I thought they were from a different clutch. If they are from the same clutch that is fine.

Yea I just trying to get them bigger because they are tiny now and it scares the hell out of me with them being so small and fragile.

I understand that feeling all too well, when they are tiny enough they can almost fit on the edge of a quarter it makes me nervous something horrible will happen with just the simplest things.
