I got my male panther on wed. He's only about 3.5 months old. My question is when will be a good time to clean his cage? Im noticing poop, and also some of the plants need upkeep and i also need to swap a few out as some are not doing so well :( but I dont want to scare him? He's getting better...
I feel like a failure already. I got my new male panther chameleon on Wednesday. That day, I fed him some silkworms and crickets and overall he ate about 5 in total. Thursday, I placed crickets in his cup as im trying to get him cup fed but he didnt touch it or even find it? its out in the open...
thank you! and aint that the truth! I am seriously fighting the urge to go and stare at him because I know it stresses him out. Esp since I have had him only 24 hours. But every few hours I will go and peek in on him for a min or two. I wish I could just watch him all day lol
Listen, I know I have only had him since yesterday but it still amazes me all the colors they can turn in such little time. He doesnt have any real colors coming in, but his basking color, resting color, and shedding colors are still so amazing! All pics taken from today. The dark colors was him...
I am curious what everyone keeps the room temp at. The room my chameleon will be in only has a heater and I am in NY. I thought that since the room usually adjusts well to outdoor temps that this would be ok, but the next few weeks it's going to be mid 90's! This caused me to panic buy an ac for...
Honestly I’m surprised with myself sometimes. You’d think since I’m a technician I would figure this out sooner! But you guys are right and glad I found the solution 😁
I just set up my mistking system. I did a test run on it and have found that the spray nozzle, since i cant point it downward, sprays and collects water at the top of the enclosure right where the lights are. I assume this is not good right? I dont have the lights on right now, infact didnt have...
I got some pics of my new baby from framschams! He should be here next Wednesday. Any ideas on names? I like horror movie themed names because I’m weird 😂 but his dad is Gary, ironically the same name as my fiancé. But I’m unsure of what colors he may end up with. I attached a pic of Gary that...
yeah all sponsors here that sell them are sold out right now. and yeah i would order small. im actually surprised small is even out of stock since I would assume most people get med or large
They just responded and said small crickets and silkworms.... Im going to buy crickets but what's the deal with silkworms? EVERYWHERE is out of stock lol are those like the holy grail insect or something? Even the site gulfcoastsilkworms is out of stock 😐
oh wow!! So I went out and got one of the probe ones and i let it sit for 30 mins and the temp was at 107! Im so glad u said something. So I do have a 100 watt bulb in there right now. I think I need to bring the wattage down. should i go down to 60 or try a 75? As for the lamp mounting, the...
oh its a single bulb hood. honestly I didnt even know there were double bulb hoods lol the basking branch is 7 inches from the heat lamp and the uvb is 6 inches but if i make it horizontal it could either be 6 inches or 10 inches. Basking branch if i point the heat gun directly on the branch it...
yes all real plants
So switch the UVB bulb horizontally? Also, its the zoo med t5 24 inch hood. UVB is 5.. the basking lamp and plant lamp are separate fixtures so I can move them. Also thanks for ur help!
I will be getting a male panther chameleon within the next 2 weeks, possibly a bit longer just waiting for a ready date from framschams. I finished the enclosure all with the exception of the mistking because I decided to buy the bracket and it won’t be here until Tuesday which I’ll install it...
This is excellent info! Thanks so much! I should have mentioned that I do have a drain tray at the bottom of the cage. It’s only a few inches high though but it’s something. (Attached a pic of what I have). The desk is also stained and I do believe it’s water resistant but not entirely sure. But...
I have finally finished my enclosure! (pics coming soon) however today I will be setting up my mistking as the last step. I got the starter kit and it only has one nozzle. Any suggestions for experienced mistking users on where I should place the nozzle? I want to avoid getting water on the...
I plan on making an online order of bugs before I get my panther chameleon. How soon before I get him should I make my order? I think I will be ordering from dubiaroaches.com... Also, the chameleon should be about 3 months old when he arrives so which feeders should I get? Originally I was going...
