Next week I’m purchasing a cwd off of kijiji. She’s about 4 years old and captive bred.
She comes with her enclosure (36x18x36, glass) which is not ideal, and I plan on moving her into my custom 6’x2’x6’ build or possibly free ranging (way more research needed for that lol).

I believe that so long as the conditions are similar, the enzymes should continue to work. If the pH or temperature of the chameleon’s stomach/intestines is outside the optimal range for said enzymes, they will either work very slowly or denature entirely.
