Hi, a couple questions: When you say he goes to his sleeping spot, does he actually go sleep there or just hang out, awake? What are the cage temps (both overall and basking)?

It's taken some time to getting used to having all the cage lights off and being able to have my room lights on past his old bedtime, but I'm slowly healing. I'm glad he had a long life, especially because he's my first and only reptile. I feel like there are a lot of things that could have gone...

I'm just finding this thread now, but I'm very sorry for your loss OP :(

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I understand what you're going through right now, my first reptile also recently passed away. Losing a pet is never easy because they quickly become like family to us. Even though Chamo is no longer with you, I'm sure he'll live on in the happy memories you've...

Thank you! I look forward to seeing you around the forums :) It makes me happy to hear you say he had a long life. Even though I know that's in the normal lifespan range I can't help but feel it's too short

Then again, that doesn't look like what I'm used to seeing. I'd recommend adding food

Medium just means "substance" in this case pretty much. Just like Kaizen said, they should be burrowing in their own food when the arrive

Kudos to you for taking your time and examining your options :) I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in the video Gingero posted, but when you're buying a panther chameleon you're also paying for a relationship with the breeder at the same time. Experienced breeders are a great resource when you...

Super pumped for this! I love seeing photos of the lesser kept chameleons 😁

Same here, I just gave the bark on a good scrub. All of my branches were on the smooth side to begin with (nothing like birch or anything)

It seems like they're selling their panther babies at under 2 months old. Panther babies aren't well established that soon. Also, as @MissSkittles mentioned above, a place doesn't specialize in chameleons might not be the wisest choice. I would still stick with a place that is known for their...

There is such a thing as too many branches, but I think a more common critique when building chameleon cages is a lack of branches. As long as you have adequate room for plants and there is a sufficient gap between the lights and your future chameleon's designated basking spot I think you'll be...

Thank you for the warm welcome and the words of sympathy <3 I'm not sure about his exact age because I got him as a sub-adult from a chain pet store. I had him for a little over 5 years, so I'd imagine he made it to about 5 1/2.

I'm far from qualified to make a guess but I'd place my bets on a male too. I think I see a bulge on the second and third photos. I'm curious what the experts think 😅

Hi chameleon moms and dads, I hope you've all been well! I'm glad to see so many familiar "faces" on the forums still ☺️ It's been a few years but I thought now seemed like a good time to get active in the chameleon community again. My baby, Mondo, passed away this past Christmas eve and my...

Thanks so much for the input! I ordered one and can't wait to use it. If my boy likes it I'll have to get some more- though 12 feet seems quite substantial for one vine. Monet is gorgeous on that flower too :love:

What a beautiful cage :) Is that a Galapagos Moss Vine running through the cage? If so I'm curious what your thoughts are on it - I've been considering using them but I've only seen them online. Welcome to the forums!

Woahhh, this is awesome! :LOL: Are you continuing the experiments?

I'll scrub with water and then try boiling water, and try to find a sun spot. I don't think they'll fit in the oven. Thanks so much guys!

I've gathered a couple of branches. I've decided I want to give them a wash with soap and water just to be on the safe side. Would dawn dish soap work or would you recommend something else instead. I figured it would be safe because it's used in oil spill cleanup on animals but I'm not ever sure...
