I went ahead and removed the real plants for right now just to test it out and about 30 mins after removing the plants he ate a few crickets. I think the crickets where hiding in the plants and now there easier for him to spot. I'm going to see how it works out with out the real plants for right...

I've had my 3 to 4 month old panther for 2 weeks now and he likes hiding in his Schefflera most of the day and hardly comes up to the top and isn't eating much. There's also a pothos in his cage. The basking temperature is between 82-85 degrees. The lights come on at 7am and go off at 8pm. He...

Thanks! I booked marked both links. There's so much good info on both links and it will help out alot with my little female.

Thanks for the link! that info helps out alot.

Thanks!:) So I guess I should let her eat all she wants for a few more months before backing off to say 6 to 8 crickets every other day and keeping her temps in the low 80's. I just want to slow her down from laying eggs and a small clutch if she does. She eats like a little piggy right now like...

I got her a few days ago and was trying to get an estimate of about how many months old she looks. Thanks

Thank you for the response. The mini CFL's would only be temporary though the summer until it starts to cool back down. I just wanted to give them a little extra light with the CFL's with out the extra heat. Looks like in the future the only bulbs we will even be able to buy will be the CFL's as...

My temps have been running higher then I like over the past few days since the summer heat has kicked in full force. I was using a 40 watt regular bulb and then switched to a 25 watt fish aquarium bulb but it's still running in the high temp range in the afternoon. I have a few regular mini...

Yeah my cage is (18X12X20) So I think it's a good size for him to start out in. I'll keep you guys posted once he starts eating better. Lets hope Slug and I have some good news in a few days or so.

I also got mine 2 days ago so we are in the same boat. Mine ate 3 crickets the first day and yesterday I didn't see him eat any and today he ate 1. So I've been a little worried but I think it is normal from what I've been reading from the other members. Lets hope they start eating better over...

That makes me feel better!:) I guess I'm worrying more then I should but I think we all have one time or another.

Thank you both for the great tips! I really appreciate it and it sounds like a good plan. I think I read on here that someones cham took almost 5 days before he finally stated to eat. So hopefully in a few days his appetite will be better once he gets used to his new cage and surroundings.

Thank you bocaJan, I see you're from Boca, I just moved from Lake worth last summer up here to Knoxville TN. I'm moving back down to Lake Worth in November so I think the chameleon will like it down there in the warmer climate. I'll have to try to cup feed. I'll have to read up a little bit to...

Thank you, That's reassuring to know. He's hasn't eating to much in the past few days since I've received him. I've seen him eat 3 crickets the first day and 1 today. I also saw him lick the branch for water so I think he is staying hydrated. I Hope his appetite pick's up in a few more day's or so.

I received my chameleon 3 days ago and I saw him eat 3 Crickets the first day and nothing yesterday and 1 Cricket today. They said he's close to 4 months I say closer to 3 months. When I put the Cricket's in I sprinkle them across the plants and shorty after they either fall to the bottom or...

I not sure if this picture will help any better.

I'll try to get a better picture of the tail base tomorrow if possible, He's still afraid of me and trying to figure out who I am and if I going to eat him.

I received him yesterday from screameleons and they said he is almost a 4 month old male sambava panther born on 2-22-12. Does he look like a male and does he almost look 4 months old? He looks on the small side to be almost that age from looking at other picture's on the forum

Thanks sounds like a good plan. Yeah the Repashy products sound good from what I've been reading. The crickets go crazy for the bug burger I bought them in the powder gel form.

I received him today and I thought I would post a picture of him. So far I've seen him eat 3 crickets and he had a little water from a droplet. He's been crawling on top of the cage quite a bit today. WHO ARE U?
