There is no need to buy actual reptile basking lights ie, (exo terra, zoomed ect) they are overpriced and have a short life cycle. regular household halogen or incondescent bulbs work just fine.
It will come off on its own just leave it. Lower your basking temps a little bit, 93 is abit high for a panther that small. switch to a 60 watt regular incondescent house bulb. Also where did you get that misting system ive never seen one of those before, very interesting.
I don’t know if I’d say females have “Tarsal spurs” but they sometimes do have a flap of skin on there foot that closely resembles one. This could very well be that. After a closer look I am unsure of sex, better pictures would definitely help.
Yes its time to give him an upgrade. I would rank enclosure size higher on the priority list then day time humidity.A Night time humidity spike can easily be obtained by a humidifier or fogger. If you go all live plants in his enclosure this will also help with humidity.
Those temps are fine for a juvenile. Some chameleons are just screen climbers. Only other thing i would recommend is getting that chameleon a new enclosure, chameleons are arboreal they like to be high up. That tank doesnt look more then 12 inches tall. Im assuming youre using it for a grow out...
They lose nails or parts of nails from climbing on the screen. Happens all the time, especially when that young and the nails are more soft. As long as toes and feet dont start to swell up it should be no problem and they wil grow back. Prevent this by filling his enclosure with sticks and...
Here are 2 side by side pictures of one of my guys in his winter blue colours vs 6 weeks of natural sunlight.
I try to give my chameleons 20 hours a week of natural sunlight when the weather is permitting.
That light and hood will work fine. If you plan on adding lots of live plants and letting the cage become dense with foliage (recommended) then go with a 10% bulb. Yes you will also need a heat lamp. Florescent lights do not give off alot of heat.
Very glad to hear she laid her eggs. What was the total count? Mist her extra, get a dripper going and feed her lots. If you can get your hands on afew horn worms and wax worms give her afew to help with hydration and to fatten her back up.
If she doesnt lay within a day i think its best you take her to a vet with chameleon knowledge. She looks very dehydrated and weak. Her eyes and casque are sunken in, her fat reserves in her tail are depleted.
Yes last picture looks succicient if the sand is atleast a foot deep, only problem is she has no way to get down to the sand place a branch or 2 leading down to the bottom. Youve now changed her lay bin it looks like 4 or 5 times in the past 2 days. Please give her some privacy.
