Depends a bit on growth rate, but generall mine (a 5 month panther) is shedding every other week.
Shedding seems to be very quick, and is usually over in less than a day... normally the only clue I have that a shed has occured is a few bits of old skin on the floor. Last shed the I could...
I would avoid a glass enclosure as it stresses Chams a lot....
Have a look at www.surreypetsupplies.com for some of the best prices in the UK.
Probably best to buy the equipement you need seperately, but essentially you will need
1x viv (the 4x2x2 Reptibreeze is a ggod size for one...
I know that here in the UK, the only insurer offering this is Exotics Direct, and the exclusions on the policy are rather significant:
1. Does not cover Egg binding or any other reproductive issues
2. Does not cover fight injuries (i.e. from mating introductions)
3. Very high excesses...

I suppose you could try those LED cluster bulbs (sold as "low energy" halogen down lighter replacements - in reality they are much dimmer and useless for down lighting, but could be perfect for you) Otherwise, have a look at the "daylight" bulbs sold for acquariums
But all lights will give...
So we know that the myth that Chameleons change colour to blend in to their surroundings is a bit off....
However, I can't understand why my Panther turns White at night... making him stand out a mile... normally it takes me afew minutes in the day to spot him in his viv (he's still small)...
I don't keep yemens, I have apanther instead, but will help out where I can.
Food:
Crickets, Mealworms, Morios (if he's big enough) are all good, you could also try waxworms (not too often as very fatty) wax moths (that come from waxworms), silkworms, calciworms(pheonixworms), butterworms...
You aren't wrong, if I was not a "practical" person I would be seriously unhappy - these things wind me up more than enough already... unfortunately it seems like this is the way customer service is going everywhere these days... that's if the shop actually has any stock when you turn up in the...
Probably wasn't clear, only 4 days that I feel that I need Aircon!
But aren't panthers meant to have basking spot of max 85F?
My Worry is that if Ambient temps are over 85 then how do I get a cooler spot/temp gradient...
If they are OK up to higher then OK, and certainly misting will...

The problem...
I have an olde tupperware container that I've drilled a hole in that takes a garden cane, and a few extra holds to help water flow into the tupperware...
I set the drip up so it drips onto the cane, and then 95% of the water goes straight into the tupperware without forming a puddle or an...
