Some never do. I wouldn't worry about it.

Not particularly (but I'm not a panther expert). There is a lot of variation in size, especially if his breeder was more interested in selecting for color, not overall size. His rostrals look nice, full tail, pretty boy! He may fill out a little more still.

She not completely hormonally mature yet. She may go through a more pissy stage and become less tolerant. Just hard to predict.

Can't tell what plant this is from the picture. Take better photos of it or the plant to a nursery and ask. There is a list of cham-safe plants under the Resources tab. Veileds are known to take bites out of their plants...better safe than sorry!

Her lip/gum does look a bit swollen but the gum itself doesn't look inflamed. I'd have a vet take a closer look. You may well be able to catch an infection quite early and get ahead of it.

Not personally, but I can see why someone might. They move around a lot at night (when you would be in bed) and dust from dried frass could easily be stirred up and get airborne. You might be allergic to their dry food too. Again, it could be getting stirred up more at night. Try moving them or...

This needs attention sooner than later. Can the vet arrange someone to care for your cham while you are gone? Its already infected and will only get worse. At the minimum he could lose his toe...at the worst end up with a systemic infection he doesn't survive. He's in pain now and that will also...

Oh I'm still around, but because of my time zone almost everyone else here has already responded to thread questions by the time I see them. I don't end up commenting as much...unless of course all of you happen to be wrong and I'm right! :p

How were you imagining using this "spray"? Spraying it on your cham is pointless and could be harmful. Spraying it on the feeders isn't going to result in very much getting into your cham at any one time. Getting a properly dosed liquid calcium and administering it properly is going to get the...

I tried putting an ultrasonic humidifier in a large cage once. It died fairly quickly. I took it apart and found lots of condensation and corrosion everywhere. Sitting inside a cage exposes the entire unit to a lot of moisture...not what it's designed for. It works a lot better to place an...

Well, he probably IS laughing at you...watching your lips flap, arms wave, eyes roll, as you chatter away at him. :LOL:.

How old is she? Many go through a "terrible teens" phase as they approach maturity. How long have you had her? Once a cham has settled into a new territory they begin to defend it. You are now more of an intruder.

GREAT news for a GREAT species! Keep up the good work OP!!

Chams don't wear watches. If it gets light earlier in the am they'll be partially awake earlier. If it gets dark earlier they'll go in to sleep mode earlier regardless what a clock happens to say. It is just an hour's change folks.

?? Thoughts about what?

You can always subdivide a larger cage temporarily. Just cut panels of rigid mesh or coroplast and divide the cage in half.

Dusting crickets before actually putting them in the cage to be eaten does nothing. Crix will groom the dust off of themselves very quickly. There are much better cricket diets than the one you are using. I didn't see any mention of a herp multivitamin either. You should be feeding her insects...

How often you mist depends on the humidity levels in your home. There is no perfect setting for every situation as there are too many variables. Everyone's setup and climate situation is different. A good hand misting before you leave in the morning is fine...I did that. The Mist King would only...

1) Without taking looks into consideration (enclosures setups are expensive so I want it to be practical first and pretty second), what plants are best for veiled or panther chameleons? Also, are there any plants that could take up significant space in an enclosure on their own, coming from the...

Can't possibly answer this without knowing what plants they are selling. Most "reptile shops" don't sell live plants at all. If you want to find out which plants cham keepers recommend, read the husbandry articles located under the Resources tab above.
