Photos of my guy

[MissSkittles]

From just an initial quick glance, all looks good.

Chameleon Info:

• Your Chameleon - Ambanja Panther, Male, and 5 months. 1 and a half months
• Handling - Twice a week (he is super calm)? Even though he may be calm, it’s always good to work on and reinforce trust. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/building-trust-with-your-chameleon.2396/
• Feeding - Crickets and Dubias as staple feeders and superworms as treat bugs. About 8 bugs. Everyday at 11:35 and I check on his eating at 3:35 and 7:35. Adding more variety is always best. Lately grasshoppers are more readily available and everyone’s chameleons seem to be enjoying them. (I haven’t tried them yet) https://feedmychameleon.com/collections/feeder-grasshoppers-for-sale Are you using a feeding station? I like and use the shooting gallery and have made my own versions from a plastic food container. https://tkchameleons.com/products/shooting-gallery?variant=30018608595032 H with carrots and sweet potatoes. Good start, but you’ll want to add more variety. Along with the same produce that I make my bearded dragons salads from, I add a bit of Repashy Bug Burger (that I’ve added a tiny pinch of bee pollen and spirulina to) to round things out.
• Supplements - Arcadia earth pro a : everyday except for the 1st and 14th of the month and Reptivite: 1st and 14th of the month I’m going to assume your ReptiVite has D3 in it?
• Watering - I fog and mist every night. A minute 3 times a night. Yes I see him drink every once in a while. What about during the day? Is best to mist for at least 2 minutes right before lights go on and off. If needed you could add a mid day misting or use a dripper for about 15 minutes.
• Fecal Description - Cream, moist, seems good. Hasn’t been tested for parasites. It’s always ideal to have a wellness check to meet your exotics vet (pray you never need them) and have a fecal done.
• History - No he hasn’t shown any signs of sickness and seems well. Awesome!

Cage Info:

• Cage Type - Zoomed screen 24x24x48 and sealed with duck window seal on back and sides. Excellent
• Lighting -Wh Arcadia UVB: What is the strength of your uvb bulb? If you’ve forgotten, it’s printed on the end of the bulb. What is the distance between basking area and lights? 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Arcadia LED: 8:00 to a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Perfect schedule Zoomed deep dome and exo terra heat bulb: 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. I can’t comment much on this, but many do limit their basking lights to just a few hours. As long as temps don’t drastically chill later in the afternoon, it’s good.
• Temperature - Basking: 82 degrees During Day: 77 to 72 degrees Night: 66 degrees Thermometer connected to phone. Perfect
• Humidity - During Day: 50% Night: 70% Hygrometer connected to phone. Perfect
• Plants - Live plants: 3 pothos, 1 monstera, 2 banana plants small though Interesting. You’ll have to let us know how the banana plants do.
• Placement - I have it by the dining room. Not really much people go there and it’s not by any air vents. About 2 and a half ft of the ground. Should I assume it’s sitting on a table that is 2.5’ high? If so, perfect. Height is safety.
• Location - Texas, USA

Current Problem - If I got everything right Yup! I think you do. Great job!

I made the dragon ledges with some scrap wood and rubber spacers

Very cool! I love diys.

Um, how do I get to member and established member? Do I need to earn a number of points?

Please Note:

1. The more details you provide the better and more accurate help you will receive.
2. Photos can be very helpful.

Hey there I only have one note on your husbandry. You want to increase his daily feeder intake. He should be able to take down easily up to 2 dozen feeders a day at this age. He needs the food intake to support his growth rate. Typically around 9 months they start to curb down on their own. At that point you could reduce to a dozen feeders a day. Once you get to 11 months old you will move over to every other day feeding and then by the time he is 12 months you want every other day feeding of 3-5 feeders.
Also you want to improve your gutload. Here is an image to help with that.

Thank you guys so much for the feed back. I will definitely fix the things y’all pointed out.

Got some new pics of Loki! He grows so fast. I weighed him last weekend and he was 42 grams. When I got him he was 19 grams. It’s been 2 months. Good night

Loki is super cute!!! Looks like he's just finishing off a shed there. Good Night!!

 

[Camiezone]

He has great coloration. Great job! He's gonna become a stunning adult, already is\!!

So handsome!! Great name too!!

 

[Paradalis]

Loki loves his bugs! He is now 8 months. When he is 8 and a half months old should I start cutting back on bugs or when he is 9 months?

Maybe it’s his body angle, but he looks a bit thin. I would say wait for him to start self-regulating or if his casque starts looking too full to start cutting back.

Tomorrow I will try and get some pictures for you just to check. Thank you for answering!

 

[Beman]

I agree with @MissSkittles let him eat as much as he wants still. He should hit a curb down around 9-10 months old where he starts not eating everything. That is when you cut back daily amounts.

 

[Paradalis]

It has been a while but here is an update of Loki! We had quite the adventure today… while I was filling up his mister and fogger I saw that he came to the front. I put a cricket of the dragon ledge and left the cage open. That was a mistake. When I looked back Loki was so close to the UVB and so I put my hand next to him and he just froze. After a couple minutes of hesitation he decided my hand was better and quickly started for my shoulder. After that he got a superworm for choosing my hand instead of the UVB. At least he trusted me enough to come off. Whew that was a relief He is nearing his 1 one year old so he was been wanting to venture out a lot more. Just another day in the life of a chameleon lover.

what a sweetheart

 

[MissSkittles]

[Paradalis]

Thank you! He is growing so fast. He just finished up a shed
