Yes!!! Finally a video on panther chameleons! As a owner of 8 chameleons I had to save 3 of em from owners who didn't what they got into. I hope you make a review on em so other chameleons don't suffer unnecessarily.
@@BenjaminsExotics of course I love chameleons but thier care is mostly based on the chameleons personality and some of mine are very short tempered lol. It took a lot of time for some of my chameleons to trust me in short its a lot of work to have and care for a chameleon.
I'm fucking in love with false chameleons they're the cutest lizards ive ever seen. That fact about how they just sit still all day even outside is hilarious.
I never heard of the False Chameleon, but he's so cute!!! Maybe I can convince my husband. ;) Not for a while though. We're getting another snake (a western hognose) in 3 weeks, so it'll be a while. Oh! I love the close up of the CTR ring. I wondered, but now I know. LOL! ;)
I've raised veiled chameleons for years and want to earn anyone looking to get a chameleon that they're very difficult to take care of in the beginning. I had a couple die on me relatively quickly. But I quickly learned how to control the environment and got them to thrive. I learned that they actually do much better in a free range environment, which means keeping them outside of a cage in a room. (Don't try this with the babies!) I kept my big guy, Big Daddy, in the front room and my female in my bedroom. People loved coming over and sitting down on the couch, only to look over and see him sitting in the tree! The most expensive phase of keeping chameleons is the initial start up; chameleon, lighting, plants (I used non-toxic hibiscus, ficus, scheflera), vines to connect trees together and travel the ceiling around the room, supplements, feeder containers, feeders, timers for the lighting, some kind of misting system if you can't hand mist 5-6 times a day, and a water dipper (preferably 2). They're very easily stressed creatures, and this can affect their life span. So if you're a heavy partier or live in a chaotic home then they aren't for you. Though the typical household noise is ok, even when free ranging in the front room. But if you think you can handle it, I highly recommend one. They're amazing creatures and add a coolness factor that women absolutely love!
You said it right on. Chameleons are difficult and the fact they don't live long is just too emotionally draining. The Panther and the Veiled are the easiest to keep. My Panther named Hunter looked just like the one you are holding. He was so Awsome!! I do still miss him.
Chameleons; the mood ring of the reptile world! Neat little creatures! The False Chameleon is freaking awesome! Love the spikes under the chin! Loving the Tegu picture behind you!!
Another wonderful video, I’m not surprised at all. I hope you might consider making videos on any of these species: Hydrosaurus pustulatus, Cyclura nubila, Lepidothyris fernandi, Chlamydosaurus kingii, Corucia zebrata, Basiliscus plumifrons, Sauromalus obesus, Physignathus cocincinus, and anything from the Uroplatus, Goniurosaurus, and Phelsuma genera, just to name a few. Some of them are difficult captives, but I just thought I would give you some food for thought in case you make a video about the best lizards for intermediate and/or advanced keepers. Keep up the good work Clint (and colleagues).
I've always loved chameleons but feared their difficulty so I've stayed away from them. This might be a good way to work my way up to that level. And still have a stinking rad pet lizard.
Thank you so much for starting this channel. It's always a joy to see your passion for these reptiles and great that you can spread your knowledge on keeping them. I've been looking forward to videos on chameleon/chameleon alternatives since I started following and I can't wait for the individual videos!
You forgot one important plus for the panther chameleon - you can pretend you’re Rapunzel ;) Just kidding, much as I love the way they look they’re way too difficult to keep for me. I’d rather look at them here or in a zoo. Thanks for showing us these beauties
loved the video clint ive been waiting for you to do a chameleon video for a while as the owner of 13 chams ive wanted to see what you thought about them
@@ClintsReptiles yes a very good review for the panther you definitely know your reptiles and I love watching your videos I'm looking forward to seeing your panther video soon
Ive wanted a chameleon because of the colors but knew how difficult they could be, so i ended up looking into the false chameleon and i think ill eventually get some. Helps my decision process that my boyfriend is freaked out by the mitten hands
Hey Clint, absolutely love the channel. Snake Discovery takes a more homely route while you take an educational one in such a enthusiastic and lively manner. Keep on with those reptiles man. In this video I would go with the False Chameleon due to it's more hardy and cool look, but I'd love it if you would do a video on the Australian Water Dragon. The animal to me is absolutely stunning and I am more than willing to spend tons of cash for it, wanting to level up from my Leopard Gecko who is now 6 years old, she's a veteran, lol. Anyways, a video on the Water Dragon would be fantastic after you introducing me to it with the head to head against the Green Iguana, much love, and keep growing Clint!
So interesting and so much fun. But the "stinking" repetition gets a little scary, as does the eye-popping. No need to put on - you're great just as you are! Very informative, very honest. Thanks!
I haven't told anyone else yet, but we just hatched our first baby false chameleon! So excited!! But don't spread word yet, because I know people will demand a video and I don't have time to put one together quite yet ;)
Hey, I like the new background, especially with the picture of Gus Gus! I want something arboreal, but I'm thinking a Cuban Knight Anole would be a better fit. I had a veiled cham before (named him Mr. Spock because of the cool mitten toes!) But it wasn't right for me because I prefer and enjoy handling all my reptiles, so I had to rehome him =( Sometimes we have to make that decision for the animals sake, plus Mr.Spock would stress out at the sight of any other creature, and I have lots lol. I did get to somewhat interact with him when I misted his cage, because he liked to drink from the spray bottle lol It should be mentioned that if someone gets a chameleon, the best thing would be if it were the only pet in the home, or at least housed away from all others.
@@ClintsReptiles They don't stress out as easily as chameleons, and I can deal with grumpy lol I actually have a Columbian gold tegu who's feisty and grumpy all the time but she settles down once I get her out of her enclosure. They learn that I am as persistent to love them as they are to hate me and they all eventually figure out that I'm not a threat. So even if they bluff at me I have yet to be bitten ^_^ Considering 2 snakes, 3 tegus, a Savannah monitor, a Leo and a bearded, (and 4 mammalian pets) I must be doing something right :)
As someone with both i can personally assure you there is no etter species theyre both utterly incredible with such similar, gentle personalities. The only differences are really minute and ultimately theyre both RAD
**Panther Chameleon** Clint: Show me a beautiful lizard. **Green Tree Monitor** Clint: I said beautiful lizard! **Cuban False Chameleon** Clint: Perfection
While I love your reptile videos (chameleons and geckos are my favorite reptiles) but will you ever do amphibians ( especially axolotol and tiger salamanders because they’re my favorite)
Do we know how these lizards put a picture together in their heads with independently facing eyes like that? Or is it just two different fields of view and they instinctively know which is which?
I claim bias on you for this episode! I am partial to chameleons also having 2 myself. I have never owned a panther, however; because of their price! If you can find me a panther chameleon for $200, I want four of them! I'm just kidding Clint, usually I find the price for a quality Panther with decent lineage to be around $400, locally anyway. Not to say that they can't go up to a thousand in extreme cases, such as gravid, proven, beautiful females that tend to throw amazing offspring! I think if I were a lizard I would be a Cuban false chameleon, sitting around all day enjoying nature is what I like to do! I hope to obtain both of these species in the near future! Thanks for another great video Clint, and I really enjoyed your recent collaboration with Emily from SnakeDiscovery.com !!!
@@ClintsReptiles always clint! 😊🦎. I got my first argentine b&w tegu yesterday. 21 hours drive, but it was worth it. The best breeder in Europe and I had the first pick of the hatchlings. I got a male with some blue on him - yes, the only one in the hatch with some blue on him 😊. Would love to see a more indepth video from you in the future, do's and dont's, taming process etc 😊
Would be interesting to see you talking about reptiles that aren't normally domesticated, like venomous snakes, where you assess them not based on whether they are a good pet but rather based on awesomeness out of 5
I’ve always wanted to be winked at by a chameleon Clint do you have a basilisk yet? They make decent pets for people that have thick gloves, patients, and a huge enclosure
i have a female jacksons chameleon! she has quite an attitude. she was my first reptile (i got a leopard gecko a month later), and shes been doing well for me lately! i know quite a few people who have had issues with them but i guess ive just gotten lucky
Hey I didn’t know you lived in Utah. I was surprised to hear my local pet store where I buy my crickets for my gecko and fence lizard. So I did some digging.
will you do a false chameleon video soon, please!? i have fallen in love, but would like more specific abt them. how long do they tend to live? would their care be similar to the carolina anole? i checked that vid out too! thank you!
Bearded anole is like half chameleon half gecko with an introvert spirit my dream lizard ♡ Regardless of care difficulty I'd pick them over a real chameleon anyway
