What kind of eggs? I usually start to worry about panther eggs when they get to 80 F. I have an air conditioned house, so I just move them downstairs if the upstairs starts to get too warm. You can also use a refrigerator that allows you to set the temps high, or an incubator that cools as well...
I would stop grabbing him. He will always view you as a threat if you do that. I would keep trying to hand feed him, but you should also provide him some free range bugs if he is not eating them from your hand. On a side note, how are you dusting your bugs? Are you really pouring the...
I would, and do, use a mist king for that. For a panther, it is not so important to keep the humidity constant. You need to make sure that the cage dries out completely between mistings. I would also use an automated dripper to get him drinking water.
The temps need to drop at night, so it...
Are you looking for how to raise humidity and what we use for setting up lighting and temps or the way in which we measure them? I'll answer both:
Measuring is always best done digitally. I use a temp gun and digital humidity meter.
I use a mist king to raise the humidity automatically...
Stool samples are very easy to do. You could buy a test kit and do it yourself, but you will most likely still want the vet for medicine and dosing. I would check on ARAV's website for Florida. There are many forum members from there who may be able to help you out. In that picture she looks...
Don't worry, he can shed during the night. I'm not sure why everybody is telling you to raise your humidity levels without knowing your humidity levels. While it is true that the humidity helps him shed, that is only to a point. If your humidity is around 50-60% that is just fine. I would...
Personally I wouldn't feed him any. There are much better feeders than meal worms. If you must, then I would limit him to 1 a day. Try to get some silk or horn worms.
I have posted a few times recommending that chameleon owners set up an automated dripper for their chameleons so that they have access to plenty of water when you are not at home. I know pain of trying to dial in the gravity fed drippers, like the little dripper, and promise that this works...
My issues with your conclusions:
1) The actions of one Veiled does not equal all chameleons, or even all veileds. One case doesn't make a theory.
2) How are you judging health? Not having MBD or parasites is not a stamp of health.
3) The Can O' products are much more expensive than my live...
I would get a small pump, like Tom's Aqualifter, and set that up with a timer to provide automated dripping. I would also get a mist king that will give you automated misting.
How are you getting him water? I would automate this if at all possible. I use a mist king for humidity and a dripper to get them enough drinking water.
meal worms are pretty much useless. I would go with dubias, crickets, stick insects, silk worms, and horn worms. Jacksons also tend to love snails.
I would change the plants to living. I have found that my jacksons do much better with live plants.
I would change the cage to a fully...
