What an ingenious idea =) Seems perfect for an extra little splash now and then!

I live in Western NC, too, and they're just about everywhere in this state. I grew up in the sticks and remember people talking about making turtle soup out of them. It's cool that you got to show your kid such an awesome critter, and I'm glad no one got hurt!

Oh wow, he's great looking! I really like how his yellow bits seem to outline other colors.

Great work! And so quickly! Hopefully the drainage bits are removable, and the plants may want more light, but beyond that I've got no suggestions to make :D

I have the same issue, and had to cup feed BOC (great phrase) for the longest time. Those were basically just super worms and crickets, but at least the supers are really easy to breed. I can now semi-reliably hand/tong feed dubias, especially if I can get the males to flap their wings. I just...

Can he borrow your lipstick, @ChameleonTide ? :p I may have to do something lke that @Alexander1 . I like the cage and the clear view but it's not worth all the stress I'm sure it's causing him.

I bought one of the new LED reptibreeze cages with an acrylic door. It's a nice cage, but Toby is often fired up and puffed out at the big chameleon who now shares his cage and lives in the reflective door. Is there anything I can do to help him from seeing his reflection in the door, and...

Oh, and thanks to @Jwillchamel for the vet recommendation!

The vet said that my female panther looks nice and healthy, with good bone strength and a healthy looking mouth. She couldn't say what caused the hole in my girls jaw or when, but it was likely some physical trauma and not an illness or infection. She also thinks she's been leaving her mouth...

I called around to a few exotic vets and found one with walkin availability today. We are in the waiting room right now.

I have only seen her "pant" that one time, but since the day I brought her home she's often left her mouth "cracked" just a bit. No tongue hanging out, acting normally, just doesn't fully seal her lips. She's always been fairly lazy and doesn't walk around much, but she is alert during daylight...

I agree with keeping dubias as a staple, they're the best blend of healthy and easy to breed. Just make sure your cham will eat them before you go buying a colony! I'm SURE there are people in Houston with bugs to trade. If there aren't any on here then it wouldn't hurt to check gecko...

And finally here's one from 6/6, a couple days after I brought her home...

Here are some showing the flimsy lip, I noticed her do this a few times then go back to normal...

Here are some showing her lip hole...

OK, so putting 1 and 1 together to get 11, you folks think she may be getting too hot because she's trying to get close enough to soak up some UVB? I was feeding her this afternoon and realized that what I previously disregarded as a bit of shmutz on her face is actually a bit of her lip...

The purple light is a led grow bulb. Looks weird at first but all of my plants reach for it ‍♂️ She doesn't have to sit there, she can go down into the hibiscus plant below there and still get partial light. That is where the light is strongest though.

Here ya go.

I did, yes.

Directly above it, about 4-5 inches. The gauge is about 2 inches above the baskingspot.
