Let's play a game!

First and foremost: This thread is for FUN! This is in NO WAY any effort to start controversy, fighting, or arguing! So don't do it.

Let's play a game of "what's wrong with these pictures"! I was at a very small locally owned "Ma & Pa" pet store, recently, when I came across these 2 cages. Now, neither one was for sale, and I have to admit, they didn't look terribly unhealthy. No signs of MBD. Both were alert and active. But I was in such disbelief of the way they were being kept, I went to the shop owner and asked how old they were. He said "We think about a year?" I said "Don't they get stressed out, being right next to each other like that?" He said, "Well, they are like that so they get used to each other. We want to try and breed them." I had to walk away. So sad!
By the way, those cages are about 12x12x28.

@kinyonga , right?!
I think that poor female has a belly full of eggs.

I can't find one thing right, and way too much wrong to list it all.

So many things that need to be changed...carpet, UVB light, basking light (red?), cage divider... that they can't see through, real plants not plastic, need more greenery and higher branches in the females cage, larger cages, what's on the lip...etc...etc.

I hope that isn't the start of mouth rot in the male or even worse, necrosis. Those are some pretty sad images. Poor things.

I think ot is mouth rot. The front of his mouth was very flattened.

Terrible, when they breed them and sell the babies (if they survive) they will tacitly make those cages examples to the buyers of how to care for chameleons.

Agreed.
