An imported chameleon often has a variety of health issues. Health issues can include internal parasites, wounds, infections, dehydration, and a depressed immune system. Wild-caught chams ages cannot be determined with certainty. Because of this, even an otherwise healthy individual may have a limited lifespan simply due to age.

Choosing the right insects
Finding insects for the hatchlings can be a difficult task, so we always recommend the juveniles or young adults. Consider the habitat size for example. You cannot keep a baby Cham in a XL large cage.
So if you are deciding on what to buy, consider being able to buy one XL cage for your new baby male and it last forever. The other alternative is to buy a smaller cage now and upgrade as your new pet Cham gets larger.
Challenges with keeping baby panthers chameleons healthy and growing correctly are associated with locating smaller insects, like 1/8th crickets, or flightless fruit flies.
Baby Panthers also need to be showered up to 15 times a day for 1-3 minute intervals, making hydration a larger concern when carrying for a panther cham baby or hatchling, regardless of the locale. Some locales of panther chams for sale do grow faster and slower than others, with the Ambilobe Chameleon growing the largest, and the fastest.

Depending on mood or visual stimulation, males may display colors that indicate a relaxed or excited state. When a male is excited and “fired-up,” he is likely sending a visual message to a rival male that he is willing to defend his turf, and to a female that he is ready for courtship.

Panther Chameleon Habitat
All screen is the way to go, or at least mostly all screen (some cages have glass front doors for better viewing). Panther Chams do well in all-screen cages or cages with at least two screened sides (front/top, side/top) with otherwise solid walls. Advantages are increased water evaporation, lighter weight and the ability to achieve a warm basking spot without overheating the entire environment.
Habitat Temperature
Heating or cooling your home can turn the air quite dry, and chameleon cage featuring solid side and back walls can help maintain humidity within the cage while preventing misted water from getting on your walls and furniture.
This is an option that also will require you to pay attention to airflow. You should look for it to be more humid in the evenings and dryer in the day time. At CBReptile.com, we also work with the more common and less colorful veiled chameleon. Various species of veiled chameleons are available including the piebald veiled chameleon.
Chameleon Heating

Mounting the basking lamp, or basking heat element on top of or suspended over one corner of the cage. Position the branch or vine directly below it, at a distance to achieve the proper basking temperature.

Adjusting the heat source may be required in order to prevent burns from the heat lamp.

Monitor all of your temperatures with a thermometer, and watch for seasonal fluctuations. If your home gets cooler than 65 degrees at night, use a ceramic heat emitter to raise the nighttime temperature keeping it 72 degrees at the lowest point of the day or night. Temperature is very important for all cold blooded lizards like panthers, as they rely on it to thermoregulate their body temperature.
Always consider the temperatures when setting up your habitat
Temperature is very important to their survival. However, once dialed in, your setup should be very easy to manage, clean and the animal should do great. Paying attention to the heat, the light, the watering system is going to be of upmost importance.
UVB Lighting for your pet Chameleon
UVB Lighting for chameleons is important. We recommend using either a reptisun t5 10.0 lamp or an Arcadia 12% lamp. Using a T5 high output UVB lamp for your chameleon habitat is important. Basically, the taller the cage, the more UVB % you need. So a 4′ cage would need a 10% or 12% lamp, where as a 30″ cage could get away with even a 6 to 10% UVB light. We have a full selection of chameleon UVB lamps for sale.
