I would say male. Both by the shape of his tail and coloration.

He looks very healthy, especially coming from PetSmart. There must have been someone there with more knowledge of chameleons than usual. It is possible he is slightly dehydrated, but definitely nothing serious. I would recommend having at least one five minute misting session as it can take...

I have a male panther that likes biting the Exo-Terra vines, but I have never seen him swallow any and there have been no other problems. I have heard a lot of the material is cardboard, but not sure what else is in there. I was considering replacing them with an alternative just since their...

It looks good. Do you have a drainage system? It looks like you are using glue to hold the dowels? You can get thumbtacks at a hardware store that are small enough to fit through the mesh and they makes it easier to re-position things if necessary. Maybe you are aware of this, just thought...

Agreed, it most likely will just take time. Being moved into a new environment is a major change and can make him afraid of everything again. Hopefully within a month or two he will be back to normal. They also can become more aggressive between 6-9 months old, but it seems that in most cases...

Can you please post both a picture of his full body and of his eye? This would help a lot.

I am guessing the breeder only free ranged crickets. I would continue feeding him as many crickets as he wants, and you can put worms in a cup just to have available for when he wants to try something new. Just the fact that he is eating anything the first week is a good sign :) If you are...

Styrofoam should be fine as long as it does not have pieces that will fall off easily and get ingested. Just make sure worms don't have access to it as they love to burrow in and pupate. I use black painter's plastic cut to the exact size of the sides of the cage and taped or hung on. It is...

79g is perfectly normal for that age. Chameleons do not all grow at the same rate so there can be big differences between ones that are the same age, even in the same conditions. If you are having trouble weighing him you can put something on the scale for him to climb on and then turn on...

Looks like a female to me. Did the vet give her any vitamins? In addition to the mistings and getting her hydrated, lack of vitamins, particularly vitamin A, can prevent her from opening her eyes. If she came from a place like Petco there is a good chance she is lacking vitamin A.

At that size just about any screen cage will work, but it depends on how often you want to upgrade the cage. When he is an adult he will need a 24"x24"x48" cage screen cage at a minimum. The FAQ recommends a 16"x16"x30" cage for that age...

The fan should not cause any problems as long as he is able to get away from the breeze when he wants. Chameleons have extremely limited hearing and can only sense low vibrations, so it is not likely he can hear it. I have had no problems with fans and air conditioners. How long have you...

Devils Ivy is a name for pothos, so that plant should be fine.

It looks pretty good to me from the picture. I think it could use more foliage, but since you said you ordered a ficus that should cover that aspect. Not sure if he would use the hammock since healthy chameleons usually like to hold onto solid branches. If you copy and paste the following...

Yes, they are able to regulate their internal body temperature but they do not respond to instantaneous contact with high heat sources like mammals do. So if they contact something very hot they can get burned badly before they know to move.

They do look a lot like subcutaneous worms. How long have they been there? I'm glad you are getting him to a vet, and I hope someone with more experience will reply since I have not dealt with these personally.

Yes, that is his locale; locale just refers to what part of Madagascar he originates from. He looks very nice. I wish you the best with him. I noticed in your posts about your previous veiled that you think she may have passed away from ingesting substrate; have you removed substrate from...

I agree with the other posters, grabbing his own legs or head is usually something I hear of in advanced stages of MBD. From the picture he does not look too bad other than the grabbing, but it is really too small to see much. Not sure what else would cause this, although I imagine some kind...

This thread is very old, so you should start a new one and fill out the help form. They need to be kept in separate cages and should not be able to see each other (there should be a visual barrier between the cages). Does the baby have wounds? Can you post a picture of him (in the new...

Your supplementation schedule is correct. You can find it under the supplementation schedule of the care sheet: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/panther/ This is the schedule I use with both my male and female panther and have not had any issues.
