We just got back from Home Depot, picking up a plant for the newbie that we're getting soon, and I got into a conversation with a woman that worked there and she told me her daughter and her boyfriend had a couple of chameleons.
She told me that they keep it in a fish tank with fake plants everywhere, and a heat lamp. And that it looked like something was wrong with its bones, she curved her finger in a U shape while describing it.
I said it sounded like it has MBD, and to bring it to the vet, just in case. And to immediately get a viv and a reptisun UVB tube, she was writing everything down as I was telling her! And I also thought that it'd be easy for her to get supplies seeing as she works at Home Depot. She said that they sprinkle calcium dust ON the chameleon D:
I recommended a vet, and told her about this site, if she had any more questions.
In thanks of all the information I told her, she gave me the plant for free, instead of for $10 !
I feel like I might've maybe saved a little baby veiled's life today!
It just shows what pet stores recommend when buying one.
I think that people that are interested in buying a chameleon have to fill out a mandatory chameleon exam in order to purchase one!
As well with the workers!!
