Stuff you guys REALLY need to warn prospective cham parents about

People think I'm barking what I do not just for my chams but for all my pets its all really worth it thou. I can't walk down to the shops without thinking" oh the chameleons will love that" ive even got my mother like that and she doesn't even own a chameleon.
 
no one warned me that hungry female chameleons might try to eat my eye-balls, finger nails, finger rings, ear rings, buttons, .... someone really should have warned me at least about the eyeball thing, cuz it dont feel good to have a cham tongue smack your eye

... LOL!!! Love it, and too true! No one warned me that my female chameleon would attack my thumb ONLY if it was painted with nail polish. Shouldn't that be written somewhere in Chameleon Ownership for Dummies???
 
My first clue that my dragon wanted more veggie variety was when he gnawed at my yellow nail polish!

Oh that's nothing :)

Oh, forgot...when I raved about the tree to the store clerk she asked me if I was going to use it in a shop or office. No, my chameleon is going to live in it I said. The look on that clerk's face was worth everything.

Must have been quite a look, you should have seen the clerk in the "head shop" when I tried to explain how I bought the scale for weighing my chameleons! "no really...I have 2 of them & ...."

& they looked at me like I was stoned

she seemed to think my pupil of my eye was a moving bug. I blinked in time, but the tongue strike to the eyelid, which did pull the eyelid off the eyeball briefly, hurt and shocked me. I learned quickly to avert my eyes, or hold a hand between my eyes and her mouth, when I was near her. this animal would try to eat anything that might maybe possibly turn out to be food.
I now have an adult male that seems to be of the same "eat everything" category. I avoid looking directly at him!
 
I'm so happy I'm not the only one cause I go crazy for my baby Henry my wife says its all about him I can't wait to find that perfect tree for him
