All set up for my new Panther! Any suggestions?

Beautiful! He looks hydrated. He is a little bit overweight.

I feed my Leo every other day. She's at least 9 months old now though. This causes her to eat with more intensity and love watching her feeding responses. Her favorite is dubia roaches. I also give her 10 feeders and have her on same supplement schedule as chameleons.

Oh wow, I feed mine every other day as well but I’ve never seen him him eat more than 5 crickets or 4 superworms at a time. I have a similar supplement schedule for him but getting them on the same one will make things pretty easy

Thanks! He was getting two dozen crickets every other day so I will probably be cutting back on the feeders a little bit

Thanks, I’ve already added a T5 HO UVB to my list of things I need to get

Do you think that will be enough for the plants or will I need to get a separate light for those?

No a single T5 wont be enough for hibiscus, youll either have to get plants with less light demands and put the hibiscus outside or youll have to get a dual or quad t5 fixture with the possible addition of led spot lights as well. For me personally its nearly impossible to keep hibiscus alive in doors which is such a shame because theyre such beautiful plants.

Looks healthy. Like Matt said a bit overweight but from what I see he looks good. You got a lot of great advice on here. Gutloading the feeders is so important. Feed every other day and continue to mix up the feeders. Dubias are the best for a staple but switch it up. No waxworms or mealworms.

Some times I take my chameleon out to the sink and put it on dripping and hold the chameleon up to the sink.

I do that when I feed him

I am 11 years old and I own 2 veild chameleons .

Maybe you should look into the resource links hun. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/
They should be able to drink in their enclosure not from the sink....
Do you have them in separate cages?

So I have an extra one of these laying around, will it be better for the time being until I can grab the t5ho?

Anything is better than nothing. But just know that those coil bulbs are basically nothing. I'm going to attach a YouTube I'd like you to watch on UVB bulbs.
Please forgive the harsh English accents.

Thanks! That was very helpful to be able visualize, I’m going to be picking up that t5 ASAP as well as an led fixture for the plants. Sorry for all the questions!
