Looks normal. The 'designer' cross made me lol. Most of us refer to them as locale cross. I have a panther with several different locales, I love not knowing how he's going to look after a shed.

Also depends on your humidity requirements and type of chameleon.

Thank you for the response. I will just keep an eye on him for now. Just picked up some fresh feeders so I'll see how his appetite is tomorrow.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out!

Possibly, I can't see anything foreign or stuck. Could it be from old UVB bulb?

Forgot to mention, as far as I know, this started today so I hope if there's something off with my husbandry I can fix it before a vet appointment is scheduled. The closest one that is comfortable with exotics is hours away..

Looks female to me, but healthy nonetheless.

I use poplar from my yard. I can typically find them in a variety of sizes and thickness. Then I just cut them to size to fit in the dragonstrand.

I'm in western NC and remember reading about a breeder in the Hickory area.. Charlotte Craigslist has them from time to time but then you don't really know what kind of care they've received. I ended up going with a site sponsor out in California and had my guy express shipping.

I haven't had any issues with mine (knock on wood). All I can think of is to check the fittings and make sure everything is snug. Is the pump coming on at all?

Congrats on your little guy. Make sure to take tons of pictures because they grow way too quickly!

I think that is the best decision for you, make sure to check out the chameleonforums sponsors for a healthy/quality pet.

Definitely walk away. Especially with it being your first. As mentioned above, his crest scales appear wonky and his fat pads are completely void which means he's malnourished and or dehydrated. I've attached a pic of my guy so you can compare the fat pads to see what it should 'normally' look...

Welcome and congratulations on your new chameleon. Can't go wrong with a Kammerflage Kreation, I have one as well!

No red light on at night, it will disturb their sleep.

Yes, they can darken themselves to help absorb heat more easily.

There's a few things you can do. Raise the temperature by upping the bulb wattage, like you mentioned many of us use a solid walls/glass and screen combo to help with heat and humidity. A cheaper solution would be to wrap three sides with plastic or something. How are you measuring the...

I think the best way to get opinions from members is to post a picture of him and your enclosure.

I think that is also typical of reaching adulthood. My guy has his routine and usual basking and chilling spots.
