Once again, thank you so much for your help.

Once again you come to my rescue with your wisdom, Madame Sandra. Sounds like a good and reasonable description of what is going on with my cham. It's been 9 days now. Hopefully he'll "poop" tomorrow. Could temperature have anything to do with this? I change the basking lamp today (put a 100...

Thank you. In addition to what I have already written, here are the info you requested: Cage: all wall and ceiling made out of mesh screen; 36X24X24 Lighting: Reptisun 5.0; regular 100 watt incandescent light for basking Temperature: controlled room temperature (day and night) at 73F...

I have a 10 months old male ambilobe panther. I have noticed recently that his droppings are less and less frequent, and I am wondering if I should worry about constipation problems. When younger, he was extremely regular. Every day at the same time, like a clockwork. Now, it went from every 3...

You're a star Ms. Sandra. Thank you so much!

About dry gut load, I just read great stuff on Sandrachameleon's blog. Going to the health store tomorrow to get some of that stuff. :)

Hello all! I didn't expect that my neophyte, uninformed original question would create such a passionate thread and so much heated discussions! I'm quite new on this forum, but this is all very interesting. Now, in a nutshell, what I should do if I want to find a middle ground between the...

Thank you very much guys. That's all useful. I truly appreciate it. Indeed, I guess I'll let go of the fish flakes then. As for the rest, I think little Iggy (my cham) is in good hands. :)

I do offer Rep-Cal Herptivite twice a month to my 6 months old panther (as well as other supplementations: Minerall-O twice a month, calcium w/t D3 twice a month, Calcium without D3 twice a week). I offer varied gutloads to my crickets (zuchinni slices, collard green, endives, potatoes...

I have a Panther Chameleon (ambilobe). Is it a beta-carotene-friendly species? :)

Hi all! What can I use in gutload (other than dried fish flakes) to provide Vitamin A to my feeders (and therefore to my cham)? Thanks for your help.

thank you guys (and thanks for the ... song, jojackson). I guess I'll never know how this happened until it happens again (hopefully not. I'm gonna have to re-seal that corner). But I'll certainly keep my eyes open.

I have a home-made enclosure for my cham, made out of pine wood; all sealed with multiple layers of varnish and with some caulking along the edges, the walls, the floor, etc. However, there is one corner on the bottom where the caulking has peeled off a bit during cleaning. Today, I saw a weird...

I will certainly try that. A few good suggestion from many users so far. I did know, when I got my cham, that these were not "play with" animals and that they don't like to be handle. However, I do need to establish minimal trust to get him out of the cage without too much drama once in a while...

...but the superworms I've got available locally seems quite big for a baby cham, right? What about waxworms, as a special (as in not too frequent) treat to befriend the angry young cham?

Thank you guys. So far, even putting a butterworm on a branch that I would slowly move towards him doesn't work, for he gets angry when the branch is approaching. He would eventually calm down when he sees the branch won't touch him, but he still refuses to eat from it. I guess I'll have to be...

I am a first time chameleon enthusiast who has recently bought a 4 months old Panther chameleon (he is now a bit over 5 months old). He is a very healthy and lively little guy, eats well, hydrates well, and seems quite curious. However, I have never been able to handle him; he's never let anyone...
