    Gaping mouth

    She’s very pretty. 🤗 She is pretty chunky in the belly though. You have been overfeeding her and it may have caused her to produce a very large number of eggs. You don’t want to change how you feed her now! The eggs are already cooking and she needs the nutrition to finish them. Make sure her...

    New chameleon parent

    Hi and welcome! 🙂 You’ve been given excellent advisement and I confirm you appear to have a sweet & spicy young lady. Do make sure to read my blog on caring for your cutie’s egg production needs. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/veiled-chameleon-laying-101.2488/ Not sure if you’re aware...

    Gaping mouth

    Your husbandry looks pretty good to my quick scan. I wonder about her being fed so much and her egg production. Can you post some current pics of all of her body? Different views if you can get them would really help.

    How are you measuring basking temps? Are you using a thermometer gun, analog gauge, one with a wired probe end, etc?

    Aging Carpet Chameleon question

    Aww…little sweetie. She looks a tad thin to me, but I guess that’s what you mean about her casque. I haven’t had the joy of having a carpet chameleon, so afraid I can’t help you with their specifics. I’m not even sure what age is considered old for them. Has her uvb been changed lately? Are you...

    Panther chameleon

    Ok. Is he walking upside down on the screen? If so, you’ll need to rise your basking light a few inches give it so he doesn’t get burned. I just get small wire baskets from the dollar store to lift my lights, since it’s only until he gets too big to wok upside down like that. You may also need...

    Panther chameleon

    Can you post some pics of your enclosure? What are your basking and ambient temps? If your uvb is the standard T5 with either an Arcadia 6% or ReptiSun 5.0, the distance between basking branch and lights should be 8-9”.

    Tail Tuesday

    Even though Tuesday officially ended a few minutes ago, just have to add the pic of Stella’s curly whirly that I got last week when I bothered her for new pics.

    Male or Female Panther Chameleon?

    You have a very beautiful girl panther. 🥰 While this is written primarily for our veiled ladies, it absolutely applies for our sweet little panthers too. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/veiled-chameleon-laying-101.2488/ If you have any questions or want to share more of your cutie...

    Hunger strike!

    Some chameleons will have a ‘winter slump’, but panthers do not brumate. The best way to confirm that nothing else is going on with him, is a vet visit with a fecal.

    Roughly how tall are adult, fully grown male panthers?

    The basking branch distance is dictated by your UVB. If you are using the recommended standard T5 with either Arcadia 6% or ReptiSun 5.0, then the distance for the ideal UVB level is 8-9”. If you are afraid that your basking bulb will cause a burn, place your hand at the level your chameleon...

    Chameleon sleeping downward a lot and hanging by tail

    Your husbandry is just fine and this isn’t caused by anything that you’ve done, other than have such good husbandry for him to reach 8 years of age. When one of mine was sleeping upside down and hanging precariously, if memory serves my (experienced) vet told me that she could have an upset...
