Suarez had a fall today, all the way from top to bottom apparently according to my daughter. He didn't move for about 10mins but was perched about midway up the cage when I got in. I had a look over him, gave him a quick examination and he seems OK, all limbs functioning with no obvious problems.

He was a little nervous and seems a bit sluggish but he's taken food. I'll keep a close eye on him over the next couple of days and hope he's regained his balance!

Hi guys, just got a 6 month old panther chameleon on Saturday, he's a lovely guy, straight onto my hand when I open his flex! Just hot home and he was on a vine near his basking bulb laying virtually flat on his side, while this is probably nothing to worry about, I've never seen this before and I used to have a veiled cham which never did this. Is this normal behaviour? He's obviously still settling in to his new home and has only eaten a few waxworms but not interested in his locusts or crix and is happily drinking water when I mist his enclosure. He's upright now and his colours weren't dark or anything?!

There's the little guy, not 100% on his locale either?!

It may be nothing to worry about his probley just flattened his body out like a sola panel and trying to get heat from the bulb.

Sometimes my male ambanja does it.

Here he is




And again with a female

My yemen does it...as some previous has posted they flatten them selves and turn to one side....bigger surface area to absorb the heat and warm himself Nothing to worry about at all


Also morio worms are fine for em ^^ to the other post above. I put mine in a pot that is fixed to the side of my flexibreeze. that way i dont have to wait for him to come to me to eat them and they cant escape. I put say 3-4 in and check every day to see if hes had any and replace accordingly

Morio's are OK but best used as a treat rather than a staple feeder
