Thanks for all the tips everyone!
I am going to clean everything in his cage, as well as get some new larger diameter vines and a different basking bulb.
I think I have a problem with air circulation more than the vine placement so I am going to try a fan, along with looking at where the...
What is the best type of fake vine to use, or a brand that absorbs less water? I think I have Exo-terra ones right now.... How often did you apply poly-sporin? Do you happen to know if using a hydrogen peroxide solution would be bad/good for him? Thanks!
Thanks for your reply!
What would you suggest I do if they are sores? It looks like the red parts on the middle of his foot are sores, but the ones near his claws are just spots....does that mean I have two different problems to tackle? Should one be done before the other?
It is sounding...
Hi,
I have had a male Panther Chameleon named Mo, for almost a year now (he is 2.5 years old or so). I live in Santa Cruz, CA. A hot day here is not much more than 75 degrees, cold days get down into the mid 30s...average in the 60s....also really high humidity (about 60% +).
He lives...
He isn't near any windows, and there is no mirror that he can see...I have the ceramic bulb because it gets into the low 50's at night, sometimes colder and I thought below 65 was bad for panther chameleons
Sorry about missing all of that info..I have filled out that form a few times and thought i remembered everything on it..
I am in Santa Cruz, California
The thermometer I was talking about is at the top of the cage so it would be the basking temperature, the thermometer near the bottom...
I have a 2 year old Panther Chameleon.
He lives in an enclosure 2'x2'x4', with a ReptiSun 5.0 tube, a ceramic heater, and a basking bulb. There are vines for him to crawl on to get to all the areas of his cage, an umbrella plant, and a ficus. The bottom of the enclosure has paper towels...
I have been using a 10:1:1 solution of water, soap, and bleach to clean my chameleon's cage and the artificial branches he climbs on....but what is the best way to clean the live plants in an enclosure?
Thanks for your responses!
I was getting giant mealworms when I first got him, but then moved over to supers..i just put them together because he doesn't seem to know the difference and is fast to catch either when I put them in his enclosure. I have been gutloading with carrots and kale...
Hi,
My 21 month old Panther Chameleon (Mo) really REALLY likes Superworms/Giant Mealworms. I have been trying to feed him a variety of different foods, but he refuses to eat most of them. HE ABSOLUTELY WONT EAT CRICKETS. I end up having to let them loose eventually because he wants nothing...
I just bought a new screen cage for my chameleon. It is 2'x2'x4'. I also just got him a ficus and he also has an umbrella plant in his enclosure. In the old enclosure I used sticks propped against the sides (from one end of the cage to the other at angles so he could get up higher). The...
Whew...finally.
Mo finally pooped today, it was waiting for me when I got home. It looked different than normal though. Here's a picture..
I just moved the branch down about 9". I also raised the cage onto a different table that is a foot and a half taller.
I don't know why its...
Oh damn, the guy at the store I bought him from told me that the cage he was giving me was an adult cage....that was one of my first questions.
I currently have an umbrella plant in the cage that is about 20" tall. Should I get a new plant that is bigger too? Sorry for all the basic...
I currently have one that is 12" by 20" by 24". I was on another part of the forum and someone said that was too small. How big should his enclosure be?
Thanks for your responses! I really appreciate it. I have only had him for a couple months (and he is my first chameleon) so I'm still learning how to take care of him. Do you think I should cut back on his feeding schedule until he poops? I know that if his eyes are sunken in or the top of...
