HEATING

Repti Economy Clamp Lamp

This inexpensive lamp fixture has an 6″ aluminum reflector and six-foot power cord. It is excellent for use with incandescent bulbs 25 to 40 watt max (Appliance Bulb) Recommended. Not for use with Ceramic Heat Emitters, PowerSun® UV lamps, or any incandescent lamp exceeding 100 watts.

ENCLOSURE

We recommend a screen terrarium; the best size for a baby is 16 x 16 x 20, available through ZooMed. It is effortless to set this up with branches small and nimbly is best for babies (example-Manzanita, grapevine, small branchy branches from almost any tree) easily fixed in the cage with plant tie wire, slip it through the screen around the stem, and twist-tie it on the outside of the screen. Be careful not to damage the screen as it will allow small bugs to escape.

LIGHTING

We recommend a T5 5.0 UVB ZooMed Reptisun fluorescent minimum 24 inches long; the coil type UVB’s do not work for Panther Chameleons, this will result in poor health for your Chameleon. We also recommend a standard 25-watt incandescent appliance bulb. Both lights should be put on a timer to run 12 on and 12 off (example 7 am to 7 pm)

WATERING YOUR PANTHER CHAMELEON

Panther Chameleons cannot drink from a bowl. It is best to mist your cage down lightly two times in the morning 15 mins apart, just enough to make dew on the leaves, up to 4 to 5 times a day will not hurt the Chameleon, it rains periodically in Madagascar it does not hurt the Chameleon to mist the cage while he is sleeping, excellent for hydration.

FOOD FOR YOUR HATCHLING

Your baby will not eat immediately out of the egg. Generally, 24-48 hours, they will start to feed on their own.

We recommend starting with Hydei fruit flies, Bean beetles, and pinhead crickets or smalls depending on the size of your panther (A good rule of thumb if it can fit between the space of the Chameleon’s eyes, he can swallow it). Every baby is different in the amount of food they will eat, and you will know right away if your Chameleon is a heavy eater or not. Adjust feeding accordingly.
