    Where is the best place to get hornworms

    This is hilarious! 😂 I’ve had hawkmoths escape their enclosure and flying free thru my home until I could catch it. 😧 I do always kind of shudder a bit too when the conical end of the pupa moves.

    Is there such thing as to much stuff?

    I would remove the artificial plants from the inside. I have mine hung on the outside of my doors to give my chams a sense of more privacy/hiding.

    can't stick tongue out after vet

    I’m also in Florida and humidity has been a struggle at certain times of the year. I do have 3 double sized chameleon enclosures in a smaller bedroom, which doesn’t help things. Whatever humidity is too much for the central ac, I have a room dehumidifier to use. Since all are screened enclosures...

    can't stick tongue out after vet

    I don’t know enough to say if the tongue issue is related or not. It doesn’t seem like it would be, but 🤷‍♀️. I feel ya with the injections into those poor little scaly arms. Make sure to alternate the left and right, front arms only. I always tried to give a yummy treat after they’ve calmed...

    Feeding

    These may help you. Providing a variety of healthy insects is best. I don’t specifically ‘gutload’, but I do keep my feeders well fed a variety of fresh organic produce (the same items I feed to my bearded dragons) and Repashy Bug Burger to round things out. The various gels and such which are...

    Clumsy chameleon.

    Unfortunately we don’t have any vets on our list in Missouri. Looking up your local exotics vets, the clinic your girl is at looks as good as any. For a second opinion, you could try Dr Rambo at https://www.arkvetofliberty.com/ Your husbandry sources are excellent and we’re all on the same page...

    Can food that’s too big kill my panther?

    It may have scratched his throat on the way down. I would feed him softer feeders for a few days just in case. I prefer feeding much smaller feeders than my animals can handle. I just give them more to make up for it. This also helps so I can give a variety of different feeders at one meal.

    Clumsy chameleon.

    Hi and welcome! 🙂 I would seek a second opinion with another vet. What is your general location? We may be able to help you find one. If your pretty little girl had fallen and gotten an injury bad enough to cause swelling, I would expect there to be a dark or black bruise at the sight. She...

    What sources, other than the Forums, do you use to talk/learn about chameleons?

    I stick strictly to the forum. I had joined some of the Facebook groups, but they were most definitely not for me. My patience has its limits and there was just far too much idiocy and inconsistency. I enjoy the sense of community here and being able to share with others about our animals...

    Diapause for panther chameleons

    I don’t believe diapause is used for panther eggs, but let’s ask @Motherlode Chameleon

    new 4x2x4 build, would like some advice

    It’s hard to say as each cham has their own ‘things’. I wear bright red pj’s regularly and when feeding my crew and I haven’t noticed any of them seeming upset. The ceiling fans (at least the ones with brown blades) freak them out if they aren’t moving fast enough or at all. It must look like a...

    new 4x2x4 build, would like some advice

    For the scaffolding method, I only ever did this with small enclosures for baby chams. Thin wire has been one of my main tools.

    Husbandry review

    Thank you! She’s a pretty girl! 🥰 You definitely need to figure out what fails with your plants and replace all the fake with real ones. While it’s awesome to have lots of interesting and colorful plants, they don’t always work out. I’ve wasted a lot of $$ and murdered too many plants on my way...

    Husbandry review

    Cage Info: Cage Type - My cage is all screen, it is 4ft tall by 2ft by 2ft with a planter underneath. Oh…do you mean like a regular planter that has soil and all in it? Does she have access to the soil? More questions about the planter - does it have drainage holes? Does it have anything on...

    I’ll have my replies in bold. I also will break this into two parts. Chameleon Info: Name is Lumi Your Chameleon - Lumi is a suspected female, most likely about 1.5 year old. She has been in my care since January of 2025 (we estimated she was a couple months old when I got her). Some pics...

    Give me a bit of time to go thru and reply. If you could provide some pics of your chameleon and enclosure it would be a huge help. 🙂
