I've had him for about six months. I know and understand animal behavior as I work professionally with exotic animals. I saw the signs and ignored them because I was more excited to get him out to his new enclosure. I know better then to do that and was being completely selfish ? I feel crummy.

I was transferring my 6 month panther to his outside enclosurethis morning, when he decided to jump out of my hands a good 4 feet onto tile. Instead of moving right away he just stayed there. I picked him up and took him outside. When I put him down he just laid on his side (now you see where...

Thank you everyone for your help and input! We were lucky enough to be spared by the devastation Hurricane Laura brought to the Texas/Louisiana border.

Yes just one, hes a 6 month panther.

I live kn the Gulf coast and will most likely be evacuating tonight. Has anyone ever had an emergency like this while having their cham? Little guy is going to be stressed oit during the drive but i dont know if I should break his entire enclosure down to come with me or just him in a hospital...

I really enjoy watching your videos. I find them extremely helpful.Thank you!!!

Thats great! I was just trying to help you with training terminology, I train animals for a living so i really enjoy talking about stuff like that. I just got mine and im starting to build my relationship with him. Its going to be slow going lol

You have to think of it from the animals perspective. He sees a hand coming towards him so he going to move away from it. He does not know that if he walls on your hand you're going to free range him. Positive reinforment is a way to train an overall behavior with tiny approximations. Theres a...

This is not positive reinforment and would be considered negative reinforcement with your hand coming towards him being the adversive stimulus. By moving your hand towards him he tries to get away from it causing him to walk on your hand. Positive reinforment is when you reinforce the desired...

What weight range do you want to keep your juvenile and adult male panther chameleon at? How often do you weight your chams (weekly, twice a month, monthly, etc)?

How big is your cage and what type of lighting system do you have?

What does it mean when people talk about pinning the bsfl for their chams?

Might be a dumb question... But since we are on the topic of gut loading do all feeders have the same gut loading foods? Are you able to gut load BSFL or do they not eat?

I cant find anything concrete about using pecan wood in a chameleon enclosure. Does anyone know if using pecan branches in a habitat is safe or not?

So if my cham has access to 3.0 uvi then I do not need to supplement D3 at all?

Yes I will also be having a dripper. I've attached an updated photo with the top plants removed. The higher branch you see is the basking branch and is between 2-3 uvi level with the solarmeter. I have not raised the basking light yet but will take your advise and lift it off the screen to...

Closest branch reads 3.0 on the meter. The plants do go up to the top and reads at much higher levels. I know with the 12% high plant density is a must. I did not think he would climb to the very top of the plants since they can regulate D3. I've attached an updated picture. Your Chameleon -...
