I have read on chameleon academy. Actually refresh my memory. Nighttime temps in the 50's kept for panthers. Shouldnt cause any issues. Even if its temporary. Even read veiled being kept in the 40's. But best thing to do is heat up the amb temps in the area there kept. Not the enclosure. Just...
Higher wattage sometimes is more of a risk. If you can add another fixture with same wattage or lower. It will bring up the amb temps. I avoid higher wattage mostly cause of thermo burns. An if there cold an dark in color. They will bask alot an get close as probably.
Eating great is really good. When there sick they usually stop eating completely. They usually have a beginning stage an then worsen. Sometimes right away or time-lapse depending on the illness. But without vet care an meds. They usually have no chance of survival. Gets me thinking how they get...
I added a smaller fixture with a 50 watt halogen. I could've replaced 75watt with a 100watt. But the 100watts are to big an tip of bulb touches the screen. Still barely getting his body temp in the 80's. Little wave get his mouth to open. An he does have stringy saliva. Hoping 🙏 its from not...
I feel ya there. We have a dangerous wind cold advisory until Wednesday. But looks be sticking around until next week. I was thinking of adding a 50watt halogen. But don't have plug for a third on the timer. Can raise the wattage to 100watt currently using 75watt. Noticed yesterday isn't getting...
Hello, have a few concerns I been worried about. Have a male panther in a 2'2'4' tall screen enclosure. With extreme cold coming this week for the midwest. So I decided to not run the misting an foggers at night. His current temp is reading 60f with temp gun (body). An back of the enclosure is...

I noticed my male chameleon. Trying to tongue a cricket at close range. Usually sometimes escape the cup. Lately been missing ones on the screen. An getting really into the cup to eat them. I know chameleons can shoot there tongue the length of there body or sometimes more. This type of tongue...
Honestly want to for there overall life. I been dealing with health issues. That's inferred what my ritual on taking care of them. I have cancer of the prostate. Even got me to a point. I am on my belly to care for them. I actually take a nap today with my rhino iguana Eve. It's been rough but I...
Just want them to have better then. What I provided for the decreased one. Seems something am doing isn't correct. But I have followed what they need with back an forth info. For say females an males panthers. Always told the 5% or 6% t5. But then have others saying am using the wrong uvb. With...
Thank you! Really appreciate it. Been rough last two days. I been waking up everyday to this Cham. Mostly for running outta room with my others. So I added him to the bedroom with a solo misting unit. Maxed out my mistking with 10 nozzles. Last few days waking up to a dark black cage. Getting...
