i plan on keeping my cham in a cage, but id like to free range for long periods of time, but i dont want droppings all over the place, any solutions? I considered just making a jungle gym type thing over a table or something thats easily cleaned or line with newpaper etc. Ive had chameleons...

I understand why now. I just meant that we could on go on for days about captive bred anything vs wild caught. If thats what you want to share your opinion on, thats up to you.:p

Both of you are right. but i still think most of these ishues can be solved with education, and backup plans. It seems blaming the breeder for the owners mistakes is unfair (not saying either of you are saying that) and as for the wild caught ishues, well thats a whole seperate thread, but its...

I agree, though i figured that was nothing researching couldnt help you decide if you're equipped. And as for buying babies just because theyre cute, well i think we can all agree that would be irresponsible.

I definitely agree that theyre all different :D. I read that if they go to bite you and you leave altogether theyll act just like the first one you described. Its good to hear of such diversity though, you read so much about people saying to never ever handle them which i dont think is...

I see:p i can definitely understand the thought process. Though i figured if you got them young thats more time for them to get used to you, at a young age. Yeah, although feeding wouldnt be hard to handle.. fancyraptor has a goodpoint about the mortality rate. Though, i think its the...

Thats what i figured, at the most one species might be more likey to be relaxed but it just depends on the individual. And yikes :eek: cant imagine having to pull two part like that! And yes, lets blame janet lol! :ROFLMAO: When i first got chameleons i housed a baby male and female together...

why is it a bad idea to buy chameleons under three months? I keep hearing of how its a bad idea to get them so young but no one says why? If they dont rely on their parents? Is it a social need? I cant imagine chameleons needing socializing.. Is it a dont count your chickens before they...

Oh, so was i doing the right think by cleaning it off? She was friendly and it didnt stress her out. Thank you for youre help (y) now that i know what is i can research it. :D

So i know different chams have unique individual personalities. But on someone elses thread someone said that jacksons would be more likely to be friendlier than vieleds? Is this true? If you do think its true is there another species thats likely to be friendly? Just wanting to know because...

A fogging machine in combination with your misting? :p It might help. Theres alot of diy ways to make a fogging machine for cheap from a air humidifier for people.

Younger chameleons shed faster because theyre growing :p it's definitely healthy to shed fast. Just keep misting, itll make him more comfortable. (y)

Neat:p but theyd usually have to pretty mad to turn that black :eek: I remember the second time i got a chameleon, a male. He turned this black when i opened the bowl he was mailed in. Havnt the slightest idea why, not like i was playing "lets see if we play music by shaking the box" :ROFLMAO:

So i had chameleons a lon time ago and they eventually died because of a light ishue (they were my babies and id rather not talk about it:( but im pretty sure it was mbd.) But thats not the ishue, the female (i had one male and one female baby housed together at the time) but the female would...

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to clear it up :D. Unfortunately alot of people just immediately rage without a second thought. Im glad we could come to an understanding :LOL:

You're definitely right. :p I meant the act of uprooting it from its home is cruel, not the adopting and taking care of any Chamleon sick, healthy wildcaught, etc. as long as theres a market for it people will keep catching and selling them. And not buying them leaves alot of ishues about...

They certaiy all have unique personalities! Ive heard all kinds of peoples theaories these last few days but it certainly sounds like free range and continuious trust building are the best methods.

Im usually pretty good with plants so hopefully ill have better results with some good soil.

Good to hear! I was hoping i could get a smaller water reserve and just refill every few days, if that doesnt work for me i can always get a larger bucket. And yes i plan on just getting one. :D

I agree with all the different factors i just wanted some sort of idea of how much it took up in other peoples cases. :p
