Nice! post some photos of him if you get a chance I'm really interested in seeing him, how do you know what part there from I just know them as a panther, every one is a bit to advanced for us, but this won't be our only chameleon I think this is just the start of many

Wow incest colonies, I did not realise you could breed your own insects for chameleons that's amazing, I would like to see how this is all done seems a big leap I wouldn't be ready for anything like that anytime soon but very interesting

After your initial investment, which is a bit large for starter colonies, bins, proper heat source, it is nice. You eventually pay off the initial investment and can sell excess. Also, it enables you to have a large variety of feeders which is better for overall cham health. I have crickets, superworms, green banana roaches, orange head roaches, hissing roaches, read runners, and kenyan roaches. Also getting flour beetles and bean beetles. I enjoy it for the most part.

In the wild, in different regions of madagascar, panthers developed their color differently in their selective areas. That is why some look more red, some look more blue, etc.

Looking great, the egg was laid mid-Sep., and i'm not an expert in chameleon eggs, but I think the egg is out of diapause or something because it looks a bit bigger!

Hi @Hyperian welcome to the great world of chameleons, this site is awesome and has a wealth of knowledge
I just have a couple of quick suggestions, I would only feed wax worms as an occasional treat, also mealworms are not the greatest feeder either, crickets and locusts are good. Some other suggestions are black soldier fly larvae, silkworms, hornworms, dubias, blue bottle flies( not sure what you can get in UK) With all feeders you just want to make sure they are eating well(gutloaded) as everything the bugs eat goes into the Cham!! Some suggestions to feed are collard greens, dandelion greens, endive, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc. There is a great list of safe veggies and fruits to feed on here!!
Also vitamins and calicum with d3 are each given twice a month!
Congratulations again on your new little one!!
I have a male panther named Bleu, male veiled named Barnaby, and a male furcifer Verrucosus named Buddy. I posted a few pictures

Hey hoops31
Thank you for your message and your input really appreciate it, we found it yesterday our panther is from Ambilobe locals, & she's a mixture of red bar & blue bar I have done a bit of research on the mixing the breeds some people say it's ok and seems to be quite conman. What's all your inputs on this topic? By the way your chams are beautiful! Amazing you have 3 we already love ours
I'll add a picture I got of our girl this morning, she was a fascinating colour Thanks we been trying to find a U.K. Provider for the insects but can't seem to find none that are recommended Shame we can't get them from the USA..not sure if any of you know of any in the U.K. ?
We have grass hoppers small ones & as a treat wax works & meal worms! It's great to hear all your reccamendations though! I'll have to see what I can find on the internet but want a provider that's got good reviews. We been gutloading them on fruit like oranges and carrots and apples.
Thanks again
We're so excited to be chameleon parents
