While I appreciate your enthusiasm please do not use your enclosure as an example for other new keepers. We will add advice to your thread if you have one but we do not mix advice in threads to avoid confusion.

Firstly, the attitude isnt going to get you anywhere. Secondly, the animal should never go before the home. The enclosure should have been set up well before the cham was purchased. I realize it was a gift, but you need to see how this looks from the standpoint of the people here who see mistreatment of animals everywhere. Also, no one expects you to build an enclosure in an hour.

So you knew all this already yet you posted about your sick chameleon? Step 1 start with looking at your husbandry when your animal is sick. Everything about your setup is completely wrong except for your thermometer. We can't help you until you help it.

I would love constructive criticism but be warned I don’t have a lot of money for fancy stuff like the mistking

That thread is a mess. I had to search through 2 pages of posts to find your Help Form and it was only half filled out. Make a new one and answer all of the questions. As soon as possible please, your cham needs it.

I went through and gave you a ton of feedback on your help form in your thread at 2:15 today you need to go look at it and stop posting in this thread about your Cham.

The troll?
I don’t think so... I just think their thread got hijacked by another newbie that threw everyone off. They need to fill out the form so we can help.

Sorry I'm all confused I ignored a member and had to unignore to fit pieces together. My apologies. I'm simply stating if you would like to help the OP by all means have at it. My patience for chameleon kits have gone from 0 to -10.
