So I recently found myself at a pet store notorious for neglecting it's animals. Almost every time I go there I'm pointing out some poor, dead, dragon or tegu. This time they had this poor baby in the corner. I couldn't leave him. I know that chams are hard work, but I went ahead and dedicated myself to Phillip and bought him and his set up.
He's not changed colors. He makes attempts to mimic my dusty pinks and rose colors i wear, but he's usually darker greens and white.

Chameleon Info:
- Your Chameleon - panther chammie, I'm pretty sure he's male, he pooped and had that red butt tube that went back in. I think he's older. He's pretty big.
- Handling - not often. I have to give him retiaid at the moment so I take him out to give him that. Hes still a bit feisty so I don't want to stress him out.
- Feeding - he doesn't like crickets at all. I've introduced new food to the crickets. Sweet potato, super greens, honey crisp apple, carrot.. still is only eating the superworms. I have gutloaded soldier flies and horn worms and wax worms on the way.
- Supplements - herpivite, retiaid, and the calcium supplement that came with the kit.
- Watering - he has a drip that stays on a bundle of leaves in the corner to keep those wet overnight, my boyfriend and I mist about 4 times a day. Maybe more. Basically when we see the cage about dry we saturate it with a mister. He's home all day so he's really taken good care of Phillip.
- Fecal Description - a little runny, but not as runny as the diarrhea picture on the forums. Urate was a bit dark a few days ago. Yesterday it looked nice and white.
- History - poor baby has probably been through the ringer at Mr Pet Man.
Cage Info:
- Cage Type - screen, it's the one that comes with the starter kit but I'm ordering him a custom cage from customcages.combto go with my hybrid ball python tank
- Lighting - I don't know the wattage. It's the blue daylight and uv bulb that comes with the Chameleon starter kit by zoomed
- Temperature - it stays about 85-90 in his basking area depending on if the living room fan is on or not.
- Humidity - I don't have a humidity measuring device. Yet. But there's a young dracaena in his cage, I mist often, and keep the drip on and mist if I leave. Bf is home most of the day so he mistake if he notices the cage is Dry. Also want to point out I live in Florida. It's naturally humid here. I have issues breathing when I go to dry areas so I understand Phillips needs lol
- Plants - dracaena and I have pothos coming.
- Placement - in the corner of the living room. My bf has his mancave, my son has his room, and I work a lot. Our house isn't highly visited and there's a false tree between his cage and the door. Our house is relatively quiet. I plan on moving him into our Florida room when I get a bigger cage and a nice high dresser to put him on.
- Location - Florida. Tropical climate. I live in a swampy area.
that's how I got my snake and I've had her since '07.
