I have been free ranging Spyro for about an hr long every day. I put him on a big plant that he loves while I watch TV or play my PS3(don't worry, I am constantly checking on him) The problem is, he loves it so much that he will actually will not want to go back on my hand so I can put him in his cage. The good news is that when 5-6 months passes, I am letting him free range in only one plant. Is it OK for him to just be in one BIG plant? Or will 2 be better? The problem is that when I free range him, if I do use my other big plant I will have to spend another 40-60$ on UVB and UVA for the other plant since I would just be using the lights and lamps I used to have from the cage on my first plant. Also, why is it that when he is inside the cage he is usually a bit darker colors, and when I take him outside(outside of the cage, not outside the house) he explodes with blue aquamarine, green, and yellow! He gets his best colors when he is out of his cage, even in my hand! I can't wait to free range him so he will always be those pretty colors . I haven't figured out how I am going to keep the humidity up in one big plant!

I use two plants, but i want to do more.
it really depends on teh cham as to how much room you give him.
as he gets older, he will want to explore more.
so if you find hes wandering off his plant, or trying too, youneed more plants for him to roam on, and have as his territory.

She seriously is so mean I thought about giving her up.. but I have put so much money into her since I got her that it's pretty much a mission to have her grow up happy and healthy... even if she hates me ): plus I hope one day she'll appreciate me!

i remember you mentioning how you were trying to handle her every day.

this is why, chameleons are ANTISOCIAL. handling should only be their choice not yours. you can take her our to free range, but even then not often.

Oh I take her out not to hold her but to let her run around and yeah I know but I've heard it from both sides. some say leave her alone and some say repetition is key. the 2nd option seems to be paying off .
