Like others have said the sperm plugs are totally normal especially with a young male like yours. They do tend to stop eating as much around that age too. I would start keeping track of his weight so you can tell if he's still gaining. A fecal is a good idea with the symptoms you are describing...
I would I use the same dual bulb T 8 set up for my montanes with one 5.0 and one big box store grow bulb not sure the brand. It will keep pothos and umbrella plants alive but not high light plants.
I haven't but if you start your own thread under the health clinic section with pictures and the form filled out I'm sure other members can point you in the right direction.
I use the T -8 plant bulbs from Hone Depot and they work great for pothos and umbrella plants. For the more high light plants like hibiscus you will need a better grow light the only cages I've had them work in are set up with quad fixture HO T-5s.
@Chamycon2016 If you start a thread asking for vet recommendations for your specific area you'll likely get some members input. It's hard to find a good chameleon vet unfortunately.
90-97 is on the hot side for a panther chameleon, personally I keep my adult males around 87 basking 72 ambient and night drops to mid 60s. At 87 (measured at the branch) they only bask for a few hours in the morning. A long 30+ min shower with lukewarm water per week is always a good idea...
Got him to come down for a hornworm treat and managed to get the sulfadine on without pulling him out this morning. His colors and activity levels seem to be getting back to normal. As you can kind of see in this pic he is starting to grow a third set horns!!
Thanks. He was looking really good today showing off all his happy colors before I pulled him out for meds but was cooperative at least and gaped so I could get the baytril down his throat. The lip looks like it's going in the right direction still a couple hard bumps but inflammation is...
They claim to have fixed the issue however it is a dubious claim put forth by the people who wish to keep selling the fixtures and bulbs they invested money developing. The CFLs also don't give you very much coverage or penetration. Why risk it? Over the last year I have seen multiple examples...
Superworms and silkworms are good. Roaches really are the easiest to keep, breed, and give excellent nutrition. My quads love discoids and redheads, they are also quiet and don't stink. Hornworms are a good treat but not a staple. BSF larvae are good nutrition wise but it takes a ton of them to...
I have ordered multi times from Nick, always prompt service and top quality feeders. He is very helpful if you have any questions about the various bugs he sells as well. Top Notch.
I would avoid it, first I have heard about it being used for chameleons and with all the carotenoids could affect vitamin A levels in the chameleon. If you want the best coloration get your chameleon outside as much as possible whenever the weather allows. The exposure to natural sunlight over...
