I read your other thread and since this seems to be a temporary conditional, why don't you just make a cheap DIY cage until you get a nicer, custom one built? Check these out: Obviously, you'll need to find a way to secure UVB/heat, but I'm sure you can come up with a solution for that...

Hahahahaha!!! I wish your little one all the luck! And you as well! Would you mind keeping me(us?) updated with pics? This would be lovely to follow.

So, I'm torn between a Mistking and a DIY setup (the DIY seems like it would be much better/easier to arrange in my shower). I still have time to research it all, though. Now that I understand their water requirements it's much easier to visualize this whole endeavor. I just need to figure out...

I understand now. A misting machine does seem much more practical. And setting it up in my shower would be soooo massively convenient. Thanks for the input, guys! I'm looking into a Mistking System of my own now. :)

However do you provide him with enough water? I had been thinking that a long shower would be sufficient but it's starting to sound like that's not the case.

Forgot to add: WOW! He's BEAUTIFUL!

Indeed they have, haha. I loved the size and the intelligence behind those eyes. Even Pascal, as gone as he was, would look at me with the kind of certainty and intelligence I might expect from a dog or a cat. I love my veileds, but they seem very "animalish" to me. Pascal... he was like a...

You make a good point about their ages. An oversight perhaps, or maybe even deliberate on his part. I wouldn't put anything past that a$$hole. That's a horrible story, but so very familiar. I've rescued more than a few of my pets but Pascal was the worst off by far. He's also the only one I...

That's a possibility that hadn't occurred to me. He said Pascal was only 2 years old but then he also said Pascal would live to be 40. o_O

As long as it's healthy, I think any type will do. Now that I understand how limited the CBs are, I'm much more inclined to take a WC. Thanks to all of you for the input! :)

Thank you, @Mawtyplant I guess you might be right. Finding a captive bred could be difficult. I suppose I really just want one that's healthy.

Is there any way for me to edit my post? I made him a better, more dignified picture that I'd like to display instead.

I would definitely like to avoid any wild caught. Eventually, once I have enough experience with them, I might just try out my own breeding program. I currently have two veileds (among other exotic, high-maintenance creatures), so I don't think learning the ins and outs of a Melleri will too be...

Me too. And I'm sure he was a very handsome little dude. Thank you. :)

That's great to hear! Thank you!

I've already contacted the agency, as a matter of fact. :) Thank you for that idea, though. I'm hoping to get some justice for Pascal.

I don't know if I'm quite ready for another Melleri just yet, but after my experience, I know I'm going to want another eventually. So let me ask: what is the best website to buy chameleons from? They're such fragile creatures... I can't imagine any form of shipping to be even remotely tolerable...

I barely knew him, but I think posting his memory in this forum is a lovely way to recognize his life. He suffered for a long time, but he died warm and loved. If legacies are left by number of tears shed, then few can rival his. He's buried under a ficus tree. I tried to give him in death what...

You guys are all so amazing. Thank you for the support. I cried until I had exhausted myself yesterday but I finally realized that you were all right. He was doomed from the start. He was so lethargic when I got him. The weak grip, the "dead" eye, the fact that he could barely hold himself up...

I can't stop crying. :(
