Chameleon subreddit... is it for real?

[BryanP]

Sorry if this is the wrong place but just had to vent...

Is that place for real? I just was in an argument about screen enclosures vs hybrid and now this self proclaimed expert tells me that I basically killed my chameleon because I didnt give it a drinking glass!?

I mean... WHAT!?

 

[Sonny13]

Eventually, such person ends up here asking help for his/her dying chameleon......because no one does their resource any more and just believe the first they read (not lumped together)

lol yeah nothing new! Some members here made a sub chameleon husbandry. Its still small but growing! Chameleon sub gives almost borderline abusive advice..

 

[BryanP]

Now turns out this person is a moderator and says t8 is the standard...

 

[nightanole]

I still think the drinking glass is a meme...

Its like chameleon headlight fluid.

And yes a legit human drinking glass...

 

[Tkrd69]

Where do they get drinking glasses in the wild? A cup plant maybe?

I've been bullied and reported by mostly mods but occasionally their cult following because I was giving scientific proven advice. One time I disliked a mod's post and he completely blew up and started "yelling"' and saying rude things about "whoever" disliked him. Also, God forbid I talk about UVI levels or the proper hydration techniques! It seems like they'd prefer to give minimal water to their chams and say experts agree with them, which seems unlikely, but they name-dropped, so maybe it's true (not saying it's right, just that they might've actually talked to them)?

And this is why we do not google info and make sure we are in a reputable place that actually knows their husbandry.

You find this crap with all types of animals. You always have the people that are not using or giving up to date accurate advice. This is the scary thing for people new to the hobby... When you are new you simply do not know what is legit and what is not.

Just wait until they tell you your enclosure is too big and you 22 inch male needs to be in a 18 x 18 or else he will be stressed and untamable....

Haha no actually. That was someone who tried to say that screen cages were not always the best way to go but he got his deleted because it had 14 down votes.

I was in there defending them

 

[BostonKeith]

just wait deleted and banned incoming for providing misinformation. You dissed the water cup method and thats where you went wrong lmao!

 

[DonKeesh]

Omg not these clowns again... This comes up every other month. I'm banned from the sub Reddit. No point in arguing with them just try to get their users to come here. The anti misting faction smh

 

[BryanP]

I almost wish I never went in there at this point haha... maybe a ban wont be the worst thing to happen!

A cup! Where in a tree will they find a cup or standing water to drink!

 

[BostonKeith]
