It is important to learn about proper panther chameleon care since these amazing animals are recommended for more experienced keepers, some of these steps must be strongly adhered to. In captivity a large screen enclosure with plenty of vines, branches, and leaf cover is a must.

It is important to use a higher rated uvb light and a higher weekly dusting of calcium powder when raising panther chameleons indoors where they do not have access to natural light..
