HarryPotter Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I looked up "petech magnetic water drip system" since I was curious but I can't find anything on it. Did you spell it wrong? And thats freaking awesome. Never seen anything like it with the fog and everything! Quote Link to comment
pgrVII Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 No its spelled correct,it's easier to just go to LLLreptile.com and look under their water drip system section . It was hard to yield results with it via search engine for me to. I looked up "petech magnetic water drip system" since I was curious but I can't find anything on it. Did you spell it wrong?

Slowtwitch Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 They are territorial right? Separate cages if you got a female? 1 Quote Link to comment
pgrVII Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 They are territorial right? Separate cages if you got a female? Yes,they actually change color for mating and territorial disputes,most think it's for camouflage however. 1 Quote Link to comment
Slowtwitch Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Cool. I've always wanted a panther chameleon. 1 Quote Link to comment
pgrVII Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Females live shorter life spans in captivity and only get one horn on the nose if any,while males will get 3 as mine has,and live 8-10 years females usually 4-6 years. Laying babies is hard on them,also,you notice I said babies. They don't lay eggs. Cool. I've always wanted a panther chameleon. Panthers are a bit different,they are larger,come in many different t colors and much more expensive depending the lines you want. Haha I don't know crap about reef keeping in the scheme of things and don't pretend to either lol. Herpetology on the other hand. 1 Quote Link to comment
Slowtwitch Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 My wife would freak if I ever brought reptiles in the house as pets. Someday maybe though. I've thought about keeping one in my office. My BIL used to keep snakes. Very cool also. I catch all kinds of garden snakes for my boys all summer. Never get to keep them though. 2 Quote Link to comment

pgrVII Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Ok,so all is well this morning,he was drinking little water droplets off the leaves and bamboo shoots,and colors are brightening up. He snagged a cricket off the corner of the cage,seemed to like them. Maybe fruit flies today. 6 Quote Link to comment
