He shed about a week ago and ever since then his poop has been a lot softer. I am worried he may be dehydrated or might have a parasite but the thing is he doesn't look dehydrated and he is acting normally and eating well. The first picture I am going to post is from two days ago and the last...
I moved my cham into his new cage and he spends most of his time in the upper 40% of the cage. Now that it is bigger the crickets aren't even bothering to climb the 4ft height to where he is. Anyone have any tips on how I can solve this problem? I tried a feeder cup but he did not like it and...
I have heard lots of mixed opinions and the most common one being that it is necessary as chameleons get older as they will get their claws stuck in the mesh of a cage and sometimes even pull out a claw or fall. Should I be putting plastic fencing in my cage before I move over my cham to his new...
Hrmm ok. I will need to check more places tomorrow when I buy my plastic fence for the side of the cage. :)
Good to know it was wise to pass on the almost $200 ficus LOL
Thanks everyone! Also I planned for the upper branches to be the basking spot, should I be doing something different? Also the other thing I picked up was add more! I plan to but right now I am just trying to keep the one umbrella I have alive haha. I am hoping how it does will change when I get...
How does this look for my set up? My main concern is the hanging plant and just making sure that while having it hanging like that he won't fall or it won't be a hazard to him. The location is just until I move his old cage and the only other thing I need to know is if it all looks safe. I...
He doesn't exactly look big but it seems like the cage he is in is now just too small for him to comfortably roam. My cage I have right now is 2x2x4. Is now a good time to place him in his new cage?
What I did was wash the plant in a soapy mixture for about a min and then rinsed it off. I did this about three times. Then I re-potted it in a clay pot with stones at the bottom and used an organic fertilizer free soil that DID have perlite so I covered up all the dirt with a layer of 1" to 4"...
NOPE
Not parasites. I just contacted my breeder and asked me what supplements I was using. JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW the repashy cal+D3 turns RED after it gets wet and sits for a couple minutes. I just tested this. My breeder said that he experienced the same thing when he first started using...
This morning I went into my little guys cage and check on him, fed him and made sure everything was ok. Later when i got back from picking up a package I noticed this in the bottom of the cage!

I am worried because he doesn't seem as active so I took him and put...
Awesome! Thank you so much for all the advice! It really does help! When I get my pan for the bottom of the cage later this week and set up my drain I will up the mistings a little bit each day until I get a couple minutes worth of time! Thanks again you were very helpful. :)
So I have had my almost five month old panther chameleon for about two weeks now and just wanted to ask a couple questions that I have been thinking about. I hope you can help me answer them!
First I was just wondering what time is ideal for the lights to go on and off? Is it better to...
Alright, I shall up the sessions. And I am using a dripper but I think he must be using it once I leave the room because when I walk into the room and see him hanging out near it. And as far as I saw his poop looked good. It was white and brown and his eyes look nice and bulgy like a chameleon...
My misting sessions are only a couple minutes at the moment as I do not have a drain set up for my cage yet. And I will give warm water a try, I will just need to get a de-chlorinator as I have been using water from an RO/DI system. And is the shower idea ok? I hear chlorinated water is bad for...
I got him about 2 days ago and since then I have not seem him drink. I mist his cage and plants (Fake plants for now) 2-5 times a day and I have a dipper available for him multiple times a day, allowing the cage to dry each time. My mist king is coming in about a week and I am hoping that it...
