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 ![]() Last edited by switchback; 12-06-2012 at 07:28 PM.. Reason: another response to a question. |
