How should I hand feed him? He only finds superworms appetizing when I hand feed, he doesn't eat crickets or roaches when I hand feed him.

I only hand feed him a super worm around once a week. I let the crickets free roam the cage and I put dubias in a cup when I feed him. His tongue has always worked fine until I got back from the vet clinic a day ago.

It could just happen all of a sudden? Is it a common thing?

I'd say as long as it goes back in fine there may not be a problem. However if the prolapse stays out of the body, you would want to put a damp cloth on it to keep it moist and take your Cham to the vet

Did this happen after he pooped? My panther used to prolapse when he pooped but it would always go back in, now he's older and doesn't prolapse

Could you define what you mean by hand feed? I hand fed him to tame him and etc and he would use his tongue just fine. This is the first time he's ever done this

Took bort in for his first check up the other day and the vet said everything is fine, he's very strong, no signs of MBD etc etc. However when we got home I tried to give him a treat and he's been having problems with his tongue all of a sudden. Could he have sprained it? He can retract it, but...

Help!! I took bort to the vet today for a check up for his fist time ever and they said he was fine. I was surprised however of how they were manhandling him. He was fine after we got back home with him in his enclosure, but he was grumpy which is understandable. Main problem is that I tried...

These are amazing pictures!

What would be a good present/treat for a Cham? I would like him to somewhat acknowledge that I appreciate him :p

Yeah as long as you have good temperatures going, food and water then they should do pretty well. However I wouldn't recommend feeding medium sized roaches until you have a fair amount of them. A month or so ago I had run into a problem where I only had very small roaches or adults and no...

When I bought a starter colony, I asked the breeder and she said it generally takes 6 months from a young Dubia to sexually mature. I've have a small colony for about 8 months now and have close to 12 adult males and 15 adult females.

The basking temperature for panther chameleons should be around 85 with the middle of the cage being around 75. Using live plants really help out with humidity, having a standing water source could be potentially harmful if your chameleon drinks from it because of bacteria and etc building up...

So my cham is about to be a year old and I'm of course planning on getting a 24x24x48 enclosure or bigger. However I'm stuck trying to decide whether to use an armoire or a screen cage. An armoire is more appealing and would be a fun project. However my question is what the steps would be...

Hey guys, have had a question in the back of my head for a while now so might as well ask. Do all chameleons have the same color iris? For those who do not know what the iris is, it is the colored portion of the eye that is responsible for adjusting pupil size and etc. My chams iris is a...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Panther cham. Almost 7 months old. Very active Handling - at least 2-3 times a day. He openly crawls onto my arm as I put crickets in his cage. Feeding - feed around 4-6 crickets a day. He seemed to lose interest in Dubia roaches. I gutload them carrots. He...

So recently my panther chameleon has been climbing down to the bottom fairly often thought-out the day. He's about 7 months old, all the temperatures are fine. Middle of the cage at around 75 while his basking spot is around 82. His cage is 18"X18"X36". He's fairly active and is going through a...

Haha okay thanks! When I saw it I got a little concerned thinking that he might fall somehow haha!

I don't know if that would work but that's pretty creative! Ive heard that hand feeding is a good way to "tame" your chameleon. I've hand fed my chameleon crickets and roaches in the first few months I've had him and then I had hand fed him super worms. When I hand fed Bort (my cham), I would...

I didn't really notice this until now and I'm wondering if this is fairly normal. My chameleon always sleeps in the same spot and when I looked at his feet today they were open, as in not grasping the branch. He's completely fine other than that and has been quite active as he seems to be going...
