Does anybody here know where I can find/buy feeder butterflies? The only commercial website that sells them is Mulberry Farms but they are out.
One of my chameleons loves to hunt his food. I figured I'd give him a challenge.
Update! Turned bad
Yesterday I was drawing out the plans for Whistlers cage. I had him out running around on the table when I noticed raw skin under his right arm. I went a head and took him to an emergency vet she says that this is not butter worm related this probably happened when he grabbed...
Quick Update
It's day 4 and while the "rash" is still very visible you can finally tell it's fading. I'll keep everybody updated and by the first on the month I'll post a picture of what he looks like now.
While the rash is not attractive to look at his behavior hasn't changed. He still...
Yes he had; had butter worms before, but they were the regular "smaller" he didn't seem the like the regular butter worms since I could only get him to eat one. This reaction was to the jumbo butter worms he actually enjoyed them. I don't understand how regular butter worms had no effect on him...
Just sharing my panther chameleons reaction to his first jumbo butter worms. Lets just say he'll never get any again.:mad: Any advice on possible ways to get the black "rash" to fade faster?:confused:
Have you guys ever heard of a chameleon's growth being stunted because of enclosure size? I know growth can be stunted from lack of proper nutrition and I know keeping them in a tank too small for them can stress them out, but has anyone ever heard of it stunting their growth?
I live in the Houston TX area. He has been to two vets in my area one specializes in reptiles he speaks at the herp. show in Houston every year. The other Rept vet specializes in eye problems but he also sees reptiles. I welcome the advice though.
My vet didn't like taking blood for the tests...
My little bud Twigmen during his weigh in today he weighs a grand whopping 7.6oz. As you guys can tell he has a few medical issues that the blood test done by his vet attest to bad genetics his eye infection just recently stopped draining. I've decided to stop taking him to the vet because it's...
I bought a panther chameleon on August 29th he is my 2nd panther I have had 3rd chameleon in my lifetime. I've never had a panther this young before my first was full grown I had him for 7 years.
I'm worried I'm not feeding him enough. He eats everyday, up until Monday Sept. 15 I had him on...
Thank you very much for your time unfortunately I either pick him up tomorrow or not at all. I have an appointment with my local reptile vet in about 45min which is going to be stressful on the little guy but the vet does sexing all the time plus i'll get a health check while I'm at it. Once...
New pictures
It's changing colors it is no longer grey it is starting to turn reddish pink the previous pictures that were giving started on 8/11 and ran through to 8/18. The new pictures were taken today 8/21. I attempted to get a clear shot of it's vent but it wouldn't hold still. I did get...
Thank you I am going to stop by the store on my way to work and try to get a better picture of the base of his tail maybe a picture of his vent. He is used to me holding him so I don't think it will be a problem. I'll upload the pictures when I get a chance. Thanks again
Been a fan of this site for years first time user though.
I was wondering if I could get a sex and general age of this young panther chameleon.
I do not have a picture of the base of it's tail but I could get one on Friday if needed. When I go to the pet store to check on him.
To be honest...
