Instead of doing that, go to your local animal shelter and buy the food there. At least the shelter makes a few bucks and petco gets zip. Hell, you can even buy Iams at most grocery stores now, still a better choice than petco

I'm just going take a moment here. Stop buying stuff from the big box stores. Period. Support your local independent pet store, your feed and grain stores, and others that sell the basics you need. Hell, buy online if you have to. The vast majority of breeders sell online as well. When you...

Yeah, your fellow there will eagerly take food from you. Mine would rather die, knowing the pain he inflicts upon me would be lasting. He won't do it. Been this way for three years. I'll just keep on taking care of him

Don't know why, but he doesn't care for the stick bugs.

Yep, see one now as a matter of fact. Now you stay right there while I go get my bird shot...

Oh, and I forgot to mention this. If you take a moment and really read what the new person is talking about you can sort them into either category A) a new keeper looking for info or category B) some turkey looking to toot their own horn about chameleon keeping. You don't have to coddle new...

Hi Jannb. Dr Greek is my vet. No dice there. I talked to Chris about it years back. We had a little chat about nutrition but no dice. I can leave a silk right in front of him, hold a roach or grasshopper near him, he won't even try to eat them. He even went two weeks without eating...

<Rolls open his boulder. Sees kids on his lawn and in his rock garden. Now throwing his rocks at each other in said garden.> Look, when you see a new person posting stuff you don't like do either A) don't post at all and maybe let a mod know. They like those private PM's over a forum fight, or...

He'll be fine. The fact he can use his tail says alot. Injuries happen. The only question is can they overcome it. At least you didn't deal with this..... He fell. Nothing more. Busted his central horn well into the skull. Despite a solid vet and a keeper that can seemingly treat anything...

I titled this thread with the purpose in mind that if somebody out there ever does an internet search for a tongue issue with a cham, they may find it. As some of you may know, Atlas was CH in 2014. I received him at 70g in 2015. He thrived but in March of 2016 he suffered an injury to his...

You wonder why I stay in my cave... I only come out for interesting threads. So why this one? Brad and his team have done a wonderful job of NOT letting this website become like say, those FB 'expert' ones. If Brad sees a problem he deals with it. If he leaves a thread alone and some...

Male carpet chameleon. Very common back in the day.

:unsure:

All Veiled? WTH.

This is the correct answer. You can call me names. You can pat yourself on the back. But when you buy one sick chameleon to "save" it, you are, in my opinion and in fact, helping a business model that will kill another ten that you can't help. If one dies, and that stops a business from...

I don't bother with a semi-hibernative state. It would be difficult anyway with the temps here in SoCal. My animals eat when they feel like it. Shed regularly. Not much more to it than that for me. Atlas is coming up on 6 years old. I'd say his husbandry is fine after six years. I can care...

You can't educate them. Until people like you get that, things don't change. You're enabling them to continue with a proven business model. They even take into consideration people buying animals because they feel sorry for them. It's some ruthless stuff. You go right ahead and disagree with me...

Well, the only to be said is what we've been saying for a very long time. If you buy anything from petco (except dog or cat food) then you are supporting their business model. That model looks at animals (reptiles) dying as just an expense. Instead of buying a light bulb from them online for...

And this just results in them buying another one. If you let the first one die (as hard as that is), and they lose money because of that, it might save a few dozen more from being bought in the months to come. Now if you can get it for free. I'm all for it.

I've been just ghosting the forums for sometime. What the hell happened to this thread? The OP made a decent attempt at once again for the thousandth time telling everybody to stop patronizing these big box stores (other than buying dog food, go ahead and buy that from petco, there's no profit...
