I am currently using a kids vinyl table that I got off of Amazon. I just removed the table top and have the cage sitting on it with a bucket underneath to catch water. I also have a drain pan that is underneath the entire setup for water that drips down from the side...

MERRY X-MAS!

Slightly late, but MERRY XMAS!

Worse case scenario...you get runny poop, which is pretty disgusting. Mix in some hard bodied feeders and you should be good to go.

All in all though, I would say variety is key. If your guy is eating just about everything, then I don't see why you can't feed him a superworm every day. I know my guy gets hooked on them fairly easy. I use to feel bad when he gets picky and doesn't eat. Now I just take the food he doesn't eat...

Visit the link below when you get the chance. It's a caresheet for your newly acquired panther chameleon. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/panther/

Honestly, you can feed everyday. Instead of feeding 10 crickets every other day, you can feed 5 everyday. I've actually stopped being so precise about the amount of feeders my guy gets. I'll offer him 1-2 dubia roaches one day, and then a butterworm with 4-5 crickets the next. I'll even skip a...

An adult panther should have a basking temp of 86-90 degrees. He is also older now, which is why it is recommended to cut back feeding to every other day. They are no longer growing as fast like they were as babies/juveniles.

What about Pygmy chameleons?

Can you take a picture of your whole setup? I would also recommend not using the substrate on the bottom as your cham may accidentally ingest some while feeding.

He may also still be adapting to his new environment. My guy didn't eat anything for a few days upon arrival.

Welcome, long time lurker and new member! That's exactly what I did for a good while to learn everything i could about these amazing creatures. You have a very beautiful female there!

He's still adjusting to his new environment, so sticking your hand in there is only adding more stress on top of it. Leave him alone for a couple of weeks until he settles in a bit, and then you can slowly begin to see if he'll climb on your hand. If he puffs up or runs, then he is not ready and...

I feed them as treats, so 2-3 worms a week. I also offer dubia roaches, phoenix worms, butterworms, silkworms, and hornworms.

A photo of your setup would be very helpful. :)

GORGEOUS!

If you've done actual research, you would know that google search will 90% of the time, bring you back to this forum. Do you truly believe that you're the first person to ask " I know it's supposed to be 36" tall but if I get a 48" is that ok?". All of your questions have been asked countless...

You can also look in the enclosure setup section on this forum. I believe most are cages, but I'm sure you'll be able to find some photos to help kick start your own setup.

+1 -He has created a ridiculous amount of threads in a short time span for someone who has done (supposedly) a years worth of research. It's the same old story with him, but who knows? Maybe he really is "The Chameleon Whisperer". :rolleyes:

No, you do not have to dust phoenix worms since they are already high in calcium. Feeders such as crickets, roaches, mealworms need calcium dusting to balance out the higher level of phosphorus that's already in them. Silkworms, hornworms, phoenix worms, butterworms are pretty rich in calcium so...
