Out of curiosity, I was wondering what other chameleon keepers do for a living. I am an Uber Eats delivery driver while I am going to college and it pays for the bills but I want to know what others do to pay for their chameleon hobby.:)
So I built this cage recently for my panther chameleon and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what I should dots the back of the cage. I have a ficus, hibiscus, and umbrella plant along with some pathos growing at the bottom. The back of the cage is a window that slides up if I...
I built this cage for my panther chameleon. It is 6 feet tall X 2 feet wide X 3 feet long. I am buying a new 36 inch reptisun 5.0 and a new fixture for it this weekend to span the length of the cage. I am getting more plants for his cage and more vines. Should I get another basking spot on the...

I've tried long misting and it seemed to help a little bit. He opens his eye when he sees food and needs to focus in to get it. I have a feeling its a piece of shed in his eye because he is constantly trying to clean it by doing that weird rolling thing with his eye. I'll have to try your...

Handling - I handled him when I put him in his cage for about 5 minutes.
Feeding - Crickets for right now. He will eat about 3-4 crickets a...
