haha, i dont mean to sound rude by laughing.. but its that last sentence that made me laugh.. i also heard from my "chameleon dealer" that when they are young, theyre practically made of rubber.. now as for this theory.. im not going to test it.. ill assume its not true. and as for my new male...
well im sure someone already said this.. i just kinda skipped everyones replies.. but that "teeter" thing, where they move 2 legs back and forth a few times, its completely normal.. theyre trying to look like "a leaf blowing in the wind" and as for the water temp. it should be at least room...
hi, my rather young female Veiled chameleon has been acting fine lately. just sometimes when she is at her favorite perch spot, relaxing, she closes her right eyelid and seems to squeeze it shut rather hard. while her eyelid is closed, it looks like she is moving her eye around inside.. she...
