There actually is a "wall of shame" of sorts for people in the herp community. Google "fauna board of inquiry". Unsurprisingly, backwater already has several negative threads there.

So, wait. You ordered a male, they sent a female. Whatever, mistakes happen (especially when it comes to backwater it seems). You point out said mistake, and their solution is to sell you another chameleon for a lower price? Wow. Throw this onto the growing list of reasons I'd never do...

No, I've heard nothing but wonderful things. But every picture I've seen, they just look very disapproving.

Yeah, they just look perpetually disapproving. My RBFS has won me a lot of money in poker games. My wife says it has gotten worse since I started working at the prison.

That's sort of their thing.

What a cutie. Settle on a name yet? These guys are so streamlined...they always look like missles to me!

It's a sign of physical growth. So, yes.

If you ate bologna sandwiches every day, then someone gave you a piece of pizza, but then offered you another bologna sandwich, which would you prefer?

Sounds like he prefers the worms.

I can't answer your question, but I have one of my own regarding the medium atrium - do the dimensions of 28.5″ wide, 29.5″ high, and 18″ deep actually provide the necessary space required for an adult male panther like the website claims? I know bill strand is widely respected here, but the...

That is fantastic! I love the idea of these majestic giants becoming available as captive born babies.

Also some species of bamboo have leaves with razor sharp edges. I actually cut myself very badly as a kid on a bamboo leaf.

Find someone you trust and have them house/chameleon-sit for you.

What a bruiser!

As your research should have told you, yeah, a bigger cage will be needed. 24 x 24 x 48 is the minimum size required for a male Panther. Cage looks pretty good for now, but I would add more plants for cover and a few more horizontal and vertical climbing branches and vines.

So do blue tongue skinks, if you don't mind the price tag. Northerns tend to be very personable and intelligent. Indonesians are typically more grumpy. Honestly, I wish they were more popular. My first reptile was a blue tongue, and she lived for fifteen years.

Her turrets look very sunken in. Either dehydration, illness, or both.

Speaking from my experience not with reptiles, but as a nurse, my first thought with any sort of spotting or discoloration in the mouth during a course of medication/antibiotics would be thrush. Not sure if it's something that even can occur with chameleons, but I figured it was worth...

The Jackson's I've "known" over the years belonged to a semi local member of a herp club I once belonged to. His Jackson's (all five males) would march right up to the front of the enclosures any time anyone approached, and would exit the enclosures freely if given the opportunity. Was not...

What are her basking temps?
