I wouldn't bover filling the care sheet it, who ever sold you the Cham has told you a load of crap, the velid you have there don't change colour like that an neither does any chameleon for that mater, you can expect to see greens, yellow strips small amounts of blue and bits of black, there are some exceptions but don't be expecting that to happen any time soon

Yeah, the form will help. Make sure you note the color of the poo, that will be very important in this case. :p

(To the people that take life too seriously: IM KIDDING!!!!

If the OP was actually serious despite being a member since over a year ago (It seems pretty clear to me you were joking)- the salesguy was full of it- heck that was probably not even his video, now go get a book about how to read BS in people!)
 
Yeah I'm just foolin' :) I work retail and it's absurd the number of people who think that video is real, or that chams can camouflage with any background or color.... upsetting really. But seriously, I can keep my veiled in a 10 gallon right? :p Oh educating the general public about cham husbandry is so much fun.

However, I do refer everyone to the ever-supporting, super-educated, patient folks here at cham forums. Thanks guys!
