I see where you are coming from, and I appreciate you elaborating on the subject, and i see "Assuming that animal is going to know or appreciate the difference, and/or feel about it the way humans do" can be anthropomorphizing..
But we dont see the same wavelengths as they do, so to assume that...
Haha he can bring it on! As long as we keep it civilized, a little debate might teach us all something. You know i dont usually sign up for forums, let alone post or anything. Im new to reptile keeping, just have a Panther, but before getting into it I did lots of research (or so i though) but i...
Hmmm dont think so, its in my opinion ignorant to think that we know it all with animals, we have not studied animals enough to say things are certain, specially reptiles...Anthropomorphizing isnt that giving animals personalities or human traits? I gotta look it up, but if it is. I dont think...
You're probably right, they probably dont understand that type of thinking, but again we dont know that for a fact. They have evolved with nature for who knows how long, thousands and thousands of years? I think deep inside of them, like in their primal instinct, they must know that 12/12 on the...
Wish I had a window to place her like that! dont think the daylight time i have over here in Oregon is good for chams (15+ hours) right now and 7 or less hours in wintero_O. Im gonna go grab couple timers and a couple lights see what works best(y)
Youre right wild caught chameleons would better know the sunrise/sunset then the CB counterparts. Then i guess there would be no harm if I try a light, along as they get total darkness 11+ hours. I messaged Bill Strand so he can shine some more light (no pun intended)on the matter. I know we...
Im glad we are having this discussion, this is what makes us learn and fine tune our husbandry. I just got finished listening to the Breeder Podcast and on episode 27 "lighting". Towards the end they mention the night light, and they themselves Bill Strand and Todd that works with Arcadia use...

Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Panther Chameleon, had it for two months, she is about 6months old

Feeding -Feeding couple banded crickets/dubias (like 3 each) and the occasional horn worm/silkworm
Supplements - Repashy Calcium Plus
Watering - Mist king, two...
So i noticed that my chameleon scrambles to a branch when the lights turn off, since our husbandry is not 100% of what they would receive in nature I thought that i would be a good idea to make some sort of dawn/dusk like they would have in nature. I want to have the bulb on 30 mins before...
Yes, I actually saw her going all around her cage last two days, then I got to researching. I did the laying bin yesterday, I'm about to cover her cage so she feels a more privacy and hopefully she will get to it.
Hello there! It's been a long time since anyone posted here so Im hoping I'm not out of place...I'm into this awesome hobby, I have currently a 5-6 month old panther. The thing is we got it not really knowing the gender, as we don't really care since they are such beautiful things. I just need...
