Fair enough. I hear you man, I really do. I think perhaps in the future you should voice your concerns with him directly via the personal message feature.
He presents a Rogerian argument by giving us the option to choose. It also serves to indemnify himself. That's a smart move. He also clearly states that either party could be playing the role of fool. I can understand how some people can take that as a personal jab but in my short time on this...
Just like you said nutrition is a highly individualized thing so is what people take offense to. I don't at all feel like he was coming off as dickish or condescending or anything of that nature. I really think you're reading too much into the verbiage and discrediting a healthy way of thinking.
Ugghhh, I'm pretty sure that there are a few different rubber plants native to Madagascar and Namibia. So that means chameleons in the wild have access to them I would assume. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@Kaizen , even if you don't succeed in developing a more refined and precise dietary protocol, it doesn't mean that you won't discover something else amazing in the process. Some of the greatest ideas, inventions and progressions in the last 100 years came from people that were working on...
The world is a different place when you're the size of a cricket. Food is abundant in crumbs and flakes. One droplet of water or any other liquid can sustain you for a day or two and fresh air and rolling pastures of the good human stuff that bugs covet. There's almost no reason why a cricket...
I think everyone that can help answer your questions would greatly benefit from seeing pictures of your chameleon and his set up. It would greatly increase the efficiency and quality of help that can be given/recommended. The 3-2-1 rule applies to all chameleons of any age: 3 levels of living...
Pretty much. I've only had him for less than two weeks now and he had a very long journey from Maryland to Alaska that I'm sure took a toll on him. Why do you ask?
From the sound of it I can tell you tried your very best my friend. Don't ruminate over it. As a couple of the other members said, it's highly unlikely it was your fault. Sounds like he came to you on the precipice of a serious illness or maybe even bad husbandry. So sorry for your loss and that...
I don't own any beardies or other lizards for that matter, but I'm almost certain the care needed for a veiled chameleon is very different from a bearded dragon. They are a lot more fickle and sensitive compared to beardies. Chameleons in general and regardless of the species are an advanced...
Ouch. Chammy I hope you understand where @Syreptyon is coming from. The point is made. If you don't take the time to teach yourself, then you can't expect to be taught by others. I hope that resonates with you.
