Was just at my local pet store to purchase some crickets/superworms/hornworms (bought one that cocooned- hooray!) and ran into another lady getting crickets for her daughter’s chameleon. She said her daughter went away to college and by the sound of it, the daughter was ill-equipped as a cham keeper as well.
I engaged in conversation and quickly learned that she knew next to nothing about Cham care. I gave her as much advice as she would accept, and even offered to take him off heir hands. “What’s a gutload?”= face palm. Of course, she declined exchanging contact info. But I walked out feeling very sad about yet another creature suffering at the hands of naive humans.
It baffles me when I encounter someone who has an animal of some kind and never bothered to become properly educated about it. Is this what people do when they have kids too?!
Ugh!
