When I first got male pather I experienced the same issue, much to my disappointment, so I tried a variety of methods including the plant infront of the open cage door, and luring with feeders on my hand. Letting them roam on plants outside of their enclosure can go a long way towards calming...
I have noth a veiled and a panther, I know a lot of people say veileds are more aggressive in nature, but my Ziggy is a *****cat, he's almost a year old and he's NEVER displayed any kind of aggression towards me. I've had 3 veileds in total and I've always found them to be very docile and...
Anyway, I've had a similar scare to you, if you haven't done so already search every high spot you can think of/find, the tops of curtain rails, lamps, look for surfaces/objects that reach up that he could have climbed and then look for anything that he could reach from those sports. Just keep...
My Ziggy also shows black lines when he's settling down, it's just part of his colouration, and the contract of flecks of black on his other vibrant colours is beautiful to see.
I think everyone agrees that you didn't do this out of cruelty, it was curiosity, it wasn't well thought through, but no malice was intended, that much is clear, but you have understand it from your chameleon's point of view. He doesn't have the abiliy of understand that you will lift him out of...
Search the highest spots in the room she could get to, tops of curtains, check where she could get to if she climbed onto the top of her viv, I've found that's a frequent path with mine.
You'll definitely need something to block their view of each other whilst in their vivs, mine are about a foot or so apart, but there're shower curtains around the side of both vivs to help maintain the humidity and they also act as a screen between the two.
I would keep the baby out of reach...
I think pretty much EVERYONE will agree with you on those points. It's infuriating when you see adult panthers rf veileds on ads/boxes for enclosures that are WAY too small to house an animal of such size, or even just an enclosure that isn't at all suited to a chameleon.
One thing that gets me...
It's disappointing but I'm currently dealing with the same issue after buying my ambilobe at a reptile fair a month ago, the vendor assured me it was a male I was buying, but in actual fact it's a female. I'm trying my darndest to contact the vendors through the fair's FB page as there's another...
Yes, thats right, it's another "sex my panther" thread, I bought my ambilobe a month ago at a reptile fair here in France, the vendor assured me that it's a male, but now I'm not so damn sure, so if anyone could clear it up for me I'd be very appreciative. "He" is between 3 and 4 months old...
My little guy's between 3 and 4 months, I've had him for a month now and he had his first shed since I bought him a few days ago. I was told by the vendor that he might be a bit of a late bloomer as others from the same clutch were already showing a little colour, so I'm just waiting patiently...
Around 6 months is a good age to change the cage, at that point she'll be of adequate size for an XL Reptibreeze. At around that age my veiled was restless and started clambering to get out of his medium Reptibreeze at every oppertunity, which was a clear indicator that he was ready for an...
To the best of my knoweldge William is the only person who manufactures and ships anything of the Dragon Strand label, it is his business afterall. I recommend you contact William himself, he's very accomodating in regards to shipping costs and will do everything he can to get them as low as...
Here in France we have an equivilant to Petsmart called Amiland, it's where I get my crickets and bulbs. I did get my male veiled from there but I was fortunate to buy him within only a few days of him arriving there, for which I am thankful because seeing the conditions in which they keep their...
I don't know about the cages, but I can certainly praise William's Dragon Ledges, they're fantastic. I live in France, so naturally had to pay shipping from the US, but the price was totally worth it and William was very accommodating and worked to get me the lowest price he could. You can't go...

I started off with a medium Reptibreeze, it's the appropriate size for a baby/juvenile cham and the chameleon can stay in there until it's large enough for the adult enclosure, I'm using the Reptibreeze XL as my adult enclosure and I plan on purchasing a baby/juvenile panther in the next few...
I know the feeling in regards to the expense, it can cost a pretty penny to set one up properly, I shudder to think how much I've spent on my little guy, but as long as you stick with quality you'll be able to re-use whatever you buy again and again, especially the MistKing system, and the...
