I realized that I've been having so many problems with my cage because my wood frame has warped into all sorts of nasty angles. I'm not even sure it'll be usable. Really sucks cause I've dumped hundreds of $$$ into it but, well, lesson learned. Don't use cheap lumber for your frame.
How's your...
Gorgeous little dude! I love the first pic, he's clearing throwing us the middle finger :D
I usually don't name any pets unless they're warm blooded, but after having my chameleon for a few weeks a name started to form in my mind... I don't know why, but I started to think of him as Toby, and...

Whenever I get Toby out he just tries to run away, either climbing up my arm or rearing on his back legs and "dancing" until I put him on the Jasmine plant. Occasionally he turns to the dark side and starts snapping at me, the...
Hah! That makes more sense :)
Still, no worries. That's maybe not the most PC description, but I know exactly what was meant by it.
Any advice on how to best keep my little dude happy and chill? I really want to give him as much natural sunlight as I can while the weather's nice, but don't...
No insult taken here. If I thought I knew what I was doing I wouldn't be seeking advice :) Thanks for your courtesy, though.
What's the best way to acclimate him and reduce temp change stress? He has spent entire weekend days, up to 8 hours at a time, in his vacation home. He still freaks out...
