He's only half way there. My Ambilobe is about 1 1/2 years old and is still popping up with colors in different areas after shedding. I believe they say around 18 months is when they reach their full potential. I'm not familiar with Tamatave panthers though. That's definitely a male. The...

Her eyes look fine to me. When she poops there are two parts, the urate and the actual poop. Her urates should be white for the most part. Orange is a sign of dehydration. Visit this link. It will educate you on what a healthy dropping should look like...

Wow, his blues are very electric!

You've probably read somewhere by now that Petco isn't the best place to purchase a chameleon from, and it's likely your chameleon may have already been in bad shape before arriving to his new home. I believe he may be suffering from a vitamin deficiency and with his eyes closed, it's making it...

Hello Tcatz, Please fill out the form to the best of your knowledge. It helps to be descriptive as possible as it will help us better understand what is going on with your chameleon. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

I can't without a photo of its hind feet. If it's a male, you will see a tarsal spur on the back of his feet. Female if there isn't one present. Take a clear photo of the back of its foot and post it or just look up tarsal spur on a veiled and you should have your answer.

WOW, is it me or does he have a natural grin going on? :rolleyes:

Hello Rbench and welcome to the forum! I'm going to start off and say your enclosure is not very suitable for a male veiled. He's going to need a minimum of 2x2x4 cage. They are tree dwelling animals so the height is more important than anything else. I'd give it a week or two before handling...

So you are saying he is drinking from the water that is currently infested with the feces of every animal in your tank?

Happy New Years!

Covering a portion of the cage is fine. I use a shower curtain to help trap humidity and prevent overspray from my mistking. I would honestly get rid of the jars of water. Your chameleon appears tiny enough that if he falls in, the glass may be too slippery for him to grip on and get out. If you...

Your Fluker's Calcium with D3 and Reptivite Vitamin should only be used twice a month. You will need a Phosphorus-free calcium WITHOUT D3 to dust at every feeding. I would also recommend ditching the cricket quencher since they are basically trash and there are better alternatives in the market...

What brand of calcium are you using? Your supplement schedule should be calcium without d3 at every feeding and calcium with d3 & vitamins twice a month. That's 3 different separate supplements you should be using for your chameleon. I also would recommend spraying around your chameleon and not...

I get what you're trying to do and the idea seems cool, but this will not end well. Those are not ideal conditions for your chameleon as stated by Carlton. If or once he grows in a few months, he will make a meal out of everything else in your tank.

A lot of the new keepers are given bad advice by pet store employees and come to the forum once the chameleon's health has deteriorated. By then, it is usually too late or they come to find out the amount of time and money required to take care of one, which doesn't bode well for the chameleon...

The worrying is normal and will gradually subside with research. I remember the very first day I got my panther chameleon, he closed his eyes, turned pale white, and stiffened up on me. I thought he had passed away...:eek: but that was just Waldo putting on his pajama and sleeping a bit early, lol.

It is recommended that you re-pot your newly bought plant with organic soil, and then cover it with flat stones to prevent your chameleon from accidentally ingesting it. She may or may not have eaten some of it already, but why take that chance? If she eats enough it could lead to impaction. As...

How old is your baby panther chameleon? I'm assuming around 3-4 months, since that's when they are usually sold as pets. You can definitely give them dubia roaches, just make sure they are small enough (between the width of your chameleon's eyes) to feed so it's not a choking hazard. Phoenix...

My guy fell multiple times trying to climb his cage at the juvenile stage to where I had to place bubble wrap at the bottom. Luckily, he did not injure himself. I had to add more branches/vines all over so he would stop climbing the walls of the cages.
