Hey guys. Here's my situation... We ended up purchasing two Panther Chameleons from Petco where we get crickets for our veiled, and they told us they were male and female. They have been in the store for two months and their setups were not, by any means, ideal for chameleons. This is why we...

I hope you get the animals all sorted out. If he is your friend then I'm sure he will understand if you talk to him in a civilized way. Good luck!

I love it! Awesome animals!

As far as the UVB fixture you can get those at Petco or petsmart. You can also go to Walmart and pick up one of those under cabinet flourecent light fixtures for $7 and just get an 18" UVB lights. Get two and use one for your plants, and put your basking light in between. LLL reptile has been...

He's gotten big! Baby picture. 4 months later...

Those are'nt perlite... I did repot with organic and have'nt put the river rocks back in the pic. Thanks for the concern! He such a prissy chameleon. He won't eat free ranged cricket, only from the cup. He does eat the hornworms off the vines. This guy hangs upside down in front of the...

He's come a long way and now I can actually get him out of the cage without him trying to eat me.

I'm sure they will ship to Florida. I'm in Las Vegas Nevada and it's 105 today and they made it here alive along with the hornworms, not a single one dead. You'll be happy with them, the crickets look really fat and gut loaded already.

I had the same problem a few weeks ago with the black ants. I tried everything and nothing worked, so I ended up using ant killer from Walmart. I just sprayed the bottom of the cage stand, all the way around and have not seen one ant since. My chameleon is still happy as can be so I think it...

I'll get some pics of mine for you when I get a chance. I basically built one 1 inch bigger around than my cage. The top frame is with 2x4s so the cage can sit on it. I put a shelf 8 inches below the top for the drainage pan and left 20 inches for the bottom so I can put that ugly bucket for the...

I just want to take the time and say thank you to their staff. Not a single cricket was dead as well as the worms and packaging was immaculate.

I tried the crickets again today and still no luck, I even free ranged them. I do have dubias starting and the females are fat and ready to give birth soon so I can use them. I started the roach colony 2 months ago, and did not think my chameleon would grow so fast.

Thanks everyone! I will try your suggestions and tame him. I could've sworn I read somewhere that it was not good to handle them all the time, but my guy does'nt really stress, I think, cause he does not turn colors when he is throwing the tantrum, he does get dark when I close the door and he...

Do these guys go through teen ages like humans? I got a baby veild back in April and now he is huge and mean, I can't even get him out of the cage anymore. Will he eventually calm down a bit or am I gonna have to wear gloves to handle him? I have only handled him for maintainace before and I was...

Can you spot where he is? He's telling me to get out of his house. I'm lovin' the mistking, probably should've got two nozzles.

I like the creamsickle colored one up top. :)

I'm a bad chameleon owner! All this guy needed was heat. I let 24 crickets loose and another 24 in a cup and every single one of them are gone. That's my BOY!

I think I got it sorted out.:) I raised the temp to low 90s and let the crickets roam and finally saw him catch one. Whew... I went and got some asparagus fern and a bunch of others on the list. I'm gonna put him in the bigger cage. He is getting to be expensive like my great dane...

Hahaha! Thanks for the suggestions. I've used the same fern on the older female I had with no problems. I'm gonna move him to the big cage and see if he feels safer in there and let the crickets roam around with him. House flys? Do I have to hunt those things down or can I buy them?

I would have had a few already if my girl did'nt mind grabbing bugs to help me feed them.:) Maybe I'll sneak one home from the reptile show in May.:D
