I am re-posting this where people have actually looked recently. I have a male chameleon - I am posting a picture so you can see the spurs on his hind legs. However, he recently started hanging out at the bottom of the cage and started digging - much like a female would do before she lays an...
Male Digging
I too, have a MALE chameleon that is digging. I am not an idiot, he clearly has spurs on both his hind legs. I do not know why he is doing this either. However, I am doing all the things I would normally do for a female chameleon to see what happens (this is currently happening). I...
