Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Can I feed my panther a mouse once a week and thats all?
My panther is 16 inch long and I just started feeding him a mouse once a week and he seems to like them a lot. I have always throw crickets in there and he grabs them as well. I was woundering if one mouse a week is enough for him and I could just stop feeding him crickets or is it better to have both. Also my cham is 11 months old is he full grown at 16 inch? He is a male noseybe pather chameleon.

No, don't feed him mice. ESPECIALLY on that frequent of a schedule. You're asking for big trouble. I don't recommend ever feeding mice to Panthers but if you are going to do it I know of semi-successful examples on a once every 3 month cycle. Sort of an occasional suppliment boost type of thing. I don't think it is necessary, and there are much more draw backs to benefits. But I haven't seen any examples where I was certain it has made a big positive difference. It's your animal though.

You'll read a lot of yahoo stuff on the internet. That type of feeder and on that schedule might work for the short term but I'm willing to bet sooner or later disaster will strike. Chameleons aren't like species of Boids for example, with a slow metabolism and only eat once a week. They need somewhat regular feedings to be healthy. 2 days on, 1 day off will suffice of various feeders.
