Panther chameleon weights

[pssh]

Hello, as some of you know, I have a very small panther chameleon whose growth seemed delayed. It seems that he has stopped gaining weight, and I just wanted to compare to other 'normal' panthers. If you could post Your panthers info, that would be awesome! Thanks!


Name: Hyperion
Locale: Sambava
Age: 13 months
Snout to vent length: approx. 5 inches
weight: 80 grams

I've seen them. I was just looking for info from newer members and perhaps updates on others. Hyperion's possibly future girlfriend is also small, so even female info to compare her to would be good.

anybody? Let's see how yours compares to my midget.

Its time for me to weight all mine anyhow soon, so I'll try to remember to update from what I had before.

My 18 month old Nosy Be male weighs 90 grams. He had a bad case of pin worms when he was 12 moths old so I'm hoping he's not to his full potential.

As stupid as it sounds how are you guys weighing them?

Whens the last time you had a fecal done?

 

[pssh]

I had a fecal done about 4-5 months ago? He's always been a teeny weeny guy. He used to eat like there was no tomorrow and still seemed to gain very little weight. Now he has slowed down his eating (still seems like a lot compared to what others feed at his age. Equivalent of 6-10 supers every other day.) and he seems to stay right around 80-85.

He's pretty good.
Average healthy weight.

 

[luckyy15]

thats so nice to hear as he is being a bit fussy at the moment gone off crickets and locusts and was worried he maybe not be gaining enough weight for his age, but eats supers but will only eat 1-2 a day but trying not to feed him too many still offering/trying to encourage him to eat other food including dubias crickets locusts and butterworms i would try silk worms if i could get hold of any but everyone has sold out in the uk.
