I would like to thank Tommy for providing such beautiful Panther Chameleons and even a Veiled Chameleon for this video! In this video the Bio Dude goes over step by step on how to setup your Panther Chameleon bioactive kit as well as what each component does, how it works and overall maintenance and care of this awesome species. The Dude utilities his one of a kind, hand crafted Terra Firma substrate that utilizes the Dude's bio shot to drive the natural, organic processes that create the bioactive ecosystem. This is a fully self cleaning, self maintaining bioactive terrarium. The brand terrarium is an Zoo Med screen cage that is 2' x 2' x 4'.
Panthers are chameleons with HUGE personalities! In this video we will discuss the care, what makes them unique, their strict husbandry requirements, diet and more! If you have more questions feel free to ask and we will get back with you to answer them as soon as we can.
These animals are simply beautiful, I can't wait until my male at home gets to the sizes of some of these bad boys in the video. We are very excited to do the Veiled Chameleon setup video in a few weeks featuring Tommy again with his expertise with Chameleons.

2 weeks ago i started following these Bio Dude videos... this about the 6th I have seen now, because it is best education i have ever seen! Funny thing is, as Tommy the guest pro chameleon expert says... he got into bug breeding from his Chameleon. And this video Josh scoops up a lot of neat bugs.... i love that infestations is not a concern in our homes... so it is really neat learning how to be good reptile moms and suddenly discovering a love for bugs now too. Thanks for another awesome video!

Great video! I have some questions about setting up the lights and the mist machine. So informative, but I wish the video would have gone through the entire cage setup. Is the light on top of the cage the UVB light? You say this one is better than the ZooMed UVB because that one only provides 4 inches of sunlight, does this one provide enough for the full cage if it's sitting on the top, or does it need to be mounted along the side of the cage? I get that the basking light is at the top, and you said there were holes in the screen on the top for the mister as well. Would love to see mister setup too! Wishing the video went through all that setup...

They get the crap end of the stick (like iggys) in the hobby and I hope I can one day figure out a way to get the cages they need for the everyday consumer, but honestly, if you have a CWD, IGGY etc your end game should be outside, if you are able. I love Caiman Lizards too....One of my favorites.

You didn't mention what you think is made better by using that Bio-bag instead of just putting the substrate directly into the tank. But I have a question about the springtails. I have bought culture after culture. I made a container for them out of what I think is a plastic cake cover that I just use up side down. I filled it within 1.5-2" with the charcoal and keep 3/4 inch of water at the bottom for humidity. They do great in there. But no matter how many times I transfer some to my terrarium I never see any in there after the first day. They get fed Joshfrogs springtail food twice a week and either dry rice or dry oatmeal between those feedings. My terrarium is bio-active and has a substrate made of one part peat moss and two parts top soil. I close the vent at night and by morning the inside of the glass is wet. But if I don't add water the sub still dries out, but never has completely before I found it needed more water.. Is there some reason I never see the springtails in my terrarium ?

It might be a little on the tall side, especially if you are using a drainage layer. you can always trim it back though. Scheffleras have a relatively small root system and are able to be a bonsai, so I don't think you'll have a problem long term, just the occasional trim job.

My veiled just passed 2 nights ago after 2 weeks of trying to heal from a prolapse which was contributed to the main staple of a cricket diet.

I've never had an issue with mold on the spagmoss on the outside because of the ventilation of the screen, but the BioShot and springtails should if it occurs. Keep in mind the BioShot will manifest as a growth that one could confuse for mold, but most often it's mycorrhizae and mycelium.

Chameleons are an advanced species to keep. I’m sorry if you were set on it but they’re really not a good reptile for children or to be kept in a children’s room. They’re very delicate, require specific care and can be aggressive. Stress can kill this animal very easily. Please make sure you do your research.

We found a female panther chameleon a few weeks ago. We live in NJ so it was really strange to find her. We have an entire set up for her and she is doing really well but how can we figure out her age? Her body is almost the size of my hand in length.

So i bought a male veiled chameleon at about 6 months old, he's been in a Extra Large Glass Exo terra 90x45x90 for 2 moths with a Exo terra monsoon misting system set to 3min every 4 hours, Duel fan system, UVB Tube light and basking lamp, Exo terra large waterfall with fogger ( That iv learned from watching this video needs to be cleaned much more often and the fogger makes the water hot) and i followed your substrate advice from one of your other videos and added it to my terrarium, my questions are : 1) Am i over misting him as my average temp is 28°C / 82,4°F with humidity at 40 to 50% 2) Do i have to drain this tank as i cant see any water build up yet, but concerned, 3)Do i have to buy another enclosure ? 4)He dug under his water bowl the other day (2 weeks back) but he's a male so not sure what that means. 5) He's mostly brown during the day when i see him, and goes super green when he sleeps, and 89% of the time he's an A$$hole toward me.

Byron Wiltshire I am no expert but most sites and owners claim that scream cages are a must. It helps the overall health of the chameleon

My mum is in a hospital magazine because she went so orange from eating carrots. She got addicted to them when she was pregnant and was eating about 15 carrots a day lol.
