Praying Mantis should have started slashing the parasites to pieces afterwards :mad:

As mentioned above, your best bet is to buy a couple hundred baby superworms and slowly grow them. I feed mine about 2-3 times a week to prevent them from growing too fast and they will last you approximately a year give or take.

It's difficult as is to find a reptile vet, let alone a reputable one! Chameleons aren't a common household pet, so the average vet would have little to no experience with them at all. I still feel more comfortable with the information provided by some of the keepers on here versus your average...

You are on point with the horizontal branches. I would recommend more foilage in the middle and top to allow your cham the ability to hide, whether from the UVB light or when she feels threatened.

Amazon have these for $10-$15 depending on whether you want the 24/36/48 inch ladders. I have 3 of them in my cage and they work wonders! Search for "north american pet ladder".

I was able to catch one last summer and my guy absolutely loved it! (y)

Happy Happy Easter!

What other types of feeders are you offering? If it's just crickets, then imagine yourself eating nothing but steak...you will eventually grow sick of it and want something else. As for the crickets dying, is water getting into the cup? Are they piled on top of each other for a long period of...

You could very well have some sort of mold/fungi type growing in your setup. I'm assuming your setup is all glass with little to no air circulation? Also...are those tiny rock pebbles at the bottom of your cage? If so, I would highly recommend removing them, so your cham doesn't accidentally...

A picture would really help. You mentioned that it is not dead skin, but I've seen pieces of my cham's shed turn white and gooey from the constant misting.

RIP little guy :( Feel free to fill out the form on the link I've provided below. Maybe we can get some answers as to what happen. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

Check the enclosure thread on here. A lot of cage setups to help inspire your own.

You'd be surprise how much of the substrate is picked up when they shoot at a feeder that is running around on the bottom. I honestly do not believe it is worth the risk, even if it's minimal. A better solution would be to add more horizontal branches and foilage to fill up the top and middle...

Congrats on the new addition and welcome to the forum! He is definitely a stunner for only being 5 months old. My guy did not look like this until he was about 7 months old. Repashy Calcium Plus is a great stand alone supplement to use at every feeding. Just make sure you are lightly coating...

Mix in some silkworms, phoenix worms, and hornworms for variety. Starting your own dubia roach colony will help cut back on feeder expenses. Just be certain your cham will eat them before starting one. I have several thousand roaches in my colony, but my panther has shown little to no interest...

Undigested phoenix worms occur more frequently with adult chams, although my guy has been eating them for over a year now with no issues. Some chams do not do a good job chewing the worm to puncture the skin, which is why keepers will jab them with a pin. With that being said, I feed my guy...

12% UVB bulb is fine. Just be sure to provide plenty of foilage so your chameleon is able to hide in the shade if he wants, and a 2x2x4 cage is plenty big for him to be able to get away.

It sounds like his grip is weak due to lack of supplements, but lets be sure. Please fill out the form below to the best of your knowledge. It helps to be descriptive, so we can better understand what is going on with your chameleon. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

Visit the link below and fill out the form to the best of your knowledge. Please be very specific in your answers as it will help us help you with your current problem. You wrote a lot, but we still don't know what kind of chameleon or what kind of supplements you are using, etc...

80-85 degrees is fine for a 3 month old. I'd go closer to the 85 range and then around 90-95 when he gets older. At that age I would feed him 1/2 inch crickets. I think Veiled's are slightly bigger than Panther's in general, but the rule of thumb is for the feeder to be no bigger than the width...
