I recently brought two Panther Chameleons (you may have seen my previous thread about me not being 100% sure on their locale)
I have contacted the store I purchased them from several times and have learnt they were wild caught. Do these need different care to captive breed? I am now extremly concerned about my female as she looks extremly thin, not eating, although she does drink alot. So I took her to the vet and they have confirmed she looks malnourished she has been given food through a tube, wormed and antibiotics. Back for another injection Saturday
I am very concerned I am going to lose her as I have read it is hard to keep wild caught females in captivity? I am in two minds on returning her to the store I purchased her from as they are not the locale they said they were, neither is she in good health, neither was I aware they were wild caught all in all not happy with them (the store) at all. Also they told us that they had been placed together and mated yet they are only 6-9 months old.
Any advice would be much appreciated
