Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Pesto, 7ish mo ambibole panther, had him since April Handling - I used to take him out once a week for natural sun and to weigh him. Havent in a few weeks to give him time to acclimate to his new home Feeding - I just switched him to dubia which he is taking no...

I just want to say a huge thank you to @Chameleon Mike for the beautiful and healthy boy! He was a little frazzled at first, but now that he has gotten his bearings he has been exploring his new enclosure non stop! Thank you for being an amazing resource while I prepared for this baby and for...

We finally busted out all the big boy tools and are getting started on the build for Pestos new enclosure. I'll be posting updates here as we go. The plan is a roughly 4x2x4 screen enclosure. I'll probably end up insulating it with window film because Colorado. It seems like the boys that I've...

So as Pesto gets bigger, I realized that also means he is getting older :eek: I have no idea what sort of feeding schedule I should follow for an adult panther when it becomes time. What age should I start cutting back? And how much should I be feeding when I cut back?

I finally pulled the trigger... meet my new hisser roaches, courtesy of @jamest0o0 !! All my roaches came securely packaged, and I mean secure. The roaches couldn't get out and I almost couldnt get in :ROFLMAO: They were a hassle to get out of their transpo bin and into their new permanent...

I am talking to you plant nerds, show me all your favorite plants! By the end of next month I am going to have made Pesto a new custom built enclosure. It is going to be 48x24x48, screen (probably with 3 sides with vinyl insulation cuz let's be real I'm in Denver). I recently came to the...

The start of an attempt at making an orchid free range for Pesto. I'm gonna see if I can manage to mount a small pothos on it to get some more vine and leaf cover also. Just used bamboo stakes to build the lattice and wrapped the orchid roots in sphagnum moss and used fishing line to attach...

Just a little progression image of Pesto the first day I got him vs Pesto today. He has gotten so big! He was sold to me as being 3 months, which would make him 5 months now. I think he is closer to 4 months though. Either way, he is a big growing boy!

Within the last week I have made purchases from 2 seperate members on these forums. I could not be happier with the results. Both the quality and quantity of the product I recieved was higher than I would have ever gotten from a larger business. First! I purchased a slew of different size and...

How do you guys cool down your enclosures during the summer? The past few weeks since it started getting warmer I've had ambient temps at the top half of my enclosure at about 80F. I end up turning off the basking bulb around 12-1pm and its just the quad putting off this heat. Even in my quad I...

I recently purchased a honeysuckle. I dont know anything about honeysuckle. Are the flowers supposed to die really soon after blooming? Mine has a ton of blooms but they always die really soon after blooming. I always have some pearly white flowers and some stupid yellow dead flowers. I have it...

I manage a retail front of a "big box" corporation (not a reptile store, but the lesson still applies). I feel like most of the people here dont need to hear this story, but some people; especially the newer keepers, do. All anyone in corporate cares about are sales. They want high guest...

I'm currently toying with the idea of just building my own enclosure from scratch for when Pesto outgrows his 18x18x36. I have absolutely no experience building anything ever, but I have a lot of family who does! So I plan to do what I do best: plan and supervise :ROFLMAO: My question is: What...

Are there any meters out there that have the ability to connect to your phone or computer or some sort of app that can show you the fluctuations in your temps and humidity throughout the day? I'm thinking like a line graph that will show the dips and spikes so you can have a better idea of the...

After all of the hubbub from tonight, I think we all deserve some wholesome chameleon content. Show me your chams' best bad hair day shots! Here is Pesto from today, his second shed with me!

The Sparknotes: I fed a cricket to the plant. The plant did nothing, the cricket left. The cricket is now free in my apartment, presumably searching for all the other free crickets that will eventually rise up against Pesto and myself. Tonight I will double check the enclosure is securely...

What are the most effective ways to reduce the temps in the enclosure, without turning off the lights, and without over misting????

We recently had a random May snow storm which caused a bunch of trees to loose a lot of branches. Sad for trees, yay for me-s! I found the perfect branch for Pesto's tiney feetsies and redid his entire enclosure today. It looks a lot more natural than just having the oak dowels and I think he...

So I have to add a dripper to my enclosure because my humidity is getting too high (in Denver? What?) so I have to reduce my mistings, but I want to make sure he always has access to water. So just one more thing to go on top of my enclosure. So, I need to actually mount my basking lamp in a...
