My 4 month old panther Chameleon and his enclosure- My first chameleon

I was told by the members here that he's a male...His name is Pantone and he's an Ambilobe.

This is his baby enclosure...will probably need to upgrade in 4-6 months.. Will remove the moss on the bottom and replace with paper towels cuz I dont want to risk Pantone from eating it.


I hope he will look like his father

I have owned many pets like turtles, tortoises, fish, dogs, lizards, geckos, etc...but this is my first chameleon...they are one interesting animal.

Thanks to this forum I have learned a lot of chameleon care and tips.

Nice little dude! I like your enclosure too. I got my baby chameleon a 18x18x36 cage when he was only 1 month old and I think it was waaay too big, good job getting a smaller cage haha.

That's a great baby enclosure. And that little guy is definitely a male. He has some pretty big kahunas for his age. Haha. Do you just have a heat bulb in there? I can't really tell, but you should get a UVB bulb too. I don't know if you're new at this or not. Myself, or someone else can explain lighting to you if you don't already know. Great job!

Thanks! I do have a UVB bulb in that box box behind the heat lamp...Its a power compact UVB

By chance did you get your cham from the East Bay Vivarium?

 

[bandes8]

I ask, because that's where I got my cham and Dazzle was his pops as well!!

everything looks great its hard to tell but i would move the vine so he can sit in his basking spot it looks bare in the basking spot but full everywhere else imo. But i like the baby cage and good job getting rid of the substrate (i agree) he is a very healthy eater buy the looks of him AWSOME job congrats on your little man he looks happy and healthy

Ive been moving around his vines and branches....that picture was taken when I just had it set up the first time and I wasnt sure how hot his bask spot was since its a smaller enclousure. I want to test it out slowly by testing out temps a few days...I didnt want to give him any burns...I just wanted to be safe

We should definitely keep in touch! I've had Gizmo now for about a month and he's been doing really well. He's grown so fast and is showing some awesome color now. Here are some pics of him:

He's looking good. Mines just started showing colors this week. He most likely from the same batch because I bought mine about 3 weeks ago

I'm jealous of your Dazzle babies! I've been trying to get a hold of Livingston Lizards and get me a female from Dazzle.

Like I said. I've been trying to contact them. I've emailed them and tried on Facebook. They just hate me.
