Ambilobe Panther juvenile. He’s about 5 months old
Yes this is normal when shedding.
Awesome thank you!
yeah he’s a panther. Ok I’ll make sure to keep it 65 min
Glad you found a solution that works for your little guy!
Hi remember these guys are down to 12c ( and less in the wild ) 53 f so mid 50 s be fine ,the low temps alow us to safely put high high humidity up , without risk of uri, ( upper respiratory infection) wax worms and supers are not staple feeders, some chameleons can become addictive to them but they are high in fat , and are only reccomended as treats , dubia, and other roaches crickets, locusts, bsfl + black soldier fly pupated , are reccomended as staples ,which need to gutloaded, along with proper lights and supplements , ( I know this may sound harsh but if your cham is refusing staple feeders over treats than maybe a day no feeders, to get back on track, , he / she will not starve , feeding fatty feeders will do more damage
I don’t use the wax or supers as staples. It’s crickets and roaches for most part and BSFL. And the temp I’m going off the chameleon academy recommendations.
Hi yeah
Hi yes that's good with your feeders, and chameleon academy, I'm just stating the temps in Madagascar , along with the humidity at night there , so I personally if my temp was 18 c would be happy with 75/80%, but if I was aiming for 90/ 100 % like in Madagascar I would be looking for lower temp
Yeah well I'd say that's good , like it's weighing up your night temp = humidity levels, ( most can't achieve 100% in the enclosure) but some like myself aim the fog in the direction of where our chams are sleeping. ( but also not all night constantly as we aim to naturally hydrate its also very easy to over hydrate which can be a bigger problem, or as a big problem there is a fine line , I asked Bill about this last week in the pod cast , and it really depends on your location and your enclosure setup, not all scenarios suit everyone, , that's why I follow chameleon academy and use it as a guide line , but also check madagascar vs my enclosure and try my best to have a happy medium or replicate best possible
Gotcha that all makes sense. My guy sleeps closer towards the bottom below all the plants on a branch so maybe I should aim it towards him though bc he’s shielded from all the mist that’s coming down by the plants. But his droppings seem to be healthy so I guess I should keep doing what I’m doing maybe? Btw how often do they poop? My guy doesn’t seem to everyday. But like I said the poops he does seem healthy looking.Yeah well I'd say that's good , like it's weighing up your night temp = humidity levels, ( most can't achieve 100% in the enclosure) but some like myself aim the fog in the direction of where our chams are sleeping.

Poop and urates all come in one so white urates 100% hydration, little bit yellow/ orange fine lots of orange dehydration, frequency depends on factors how much they are eating, uvb temps ,humidity, supplements, gutload activity etc, so I personally couldn't answer that , no cham or situation are the same, so hopefully, someone can answer your question
I would suspect that every other day would be normal. Once he is an adult it varies to the chameleon. My veiled poops once a week. My panther poops once every week and a half to two weeks.
