What’s the most annoying (and obviously wrong) question about chameleons that someone has asked you?

"I guess ur 3month old panther baby is a male cause its cheek color has a bit light blue showing"
"Dont touch it...they bite n they will tongue u n they are venomous...they are the sub species of the komodo
Dragons"

Surely anything that can take on a centipede is cuddly?

AAAAAAAAAhhKKKKKK I used to live in Hawaii and found one of these under my pillow once (the centipede not the tokay)

Did you burn the house down? Or is that why you “used” to live in Hawaii lol

"Why is ur male chameleon bopping his head?can u train mine to say yes to me too?"

 

[alphakenc]

"Im not sure if ur chameleon can learn as quick as mine( bopping head)..but if u french kiss me..then I can definitely teach ur cham to stick the tongue out in no time"

 

[alphakenc]

"I think ur cham has hemorrhoid cause those double pink things is sticking it out in his butt!"

Gargoyles eat crested gecko diet too. No need for bugs. Gargs are also less jumpy/flighty than crested geckos. Get about the same size though.

Ooo really now maybe but does it drop a tail? If so I have a feeling he will freak out if that happens lol

They can drop their tail. it will regrow but never look the same. Crested geckos can also lose there tail but it never grows back.

It's not very common and unlike cresties they will regrow their tails. Cresties can not. I have a leopard gecko and a Gargoyle gecko both with original healthy tails still. They tend to never drop their tails if housed alone like they should be.

Lol. You could get crested geckos that already lost there tail. Then he wouldnt have to worry. They only drop them when super stressed as a defensive mechanism.

We do have a reptile expo coming up next month. Let’s see if I come home with something

Be careful those expos tend to jack up the price on both those species. Like chameleons depending on morph a cresties can be had for $50-$1500 and gargs go anywhere from $150-$800. I really really want a Chahoua Gecko but they're sooooo expensive and hard to find. They have eyelashes like a cresties, a face and tail like a gargoyle, and the body of a Leachie. Best part is they move as slow as a chameleon and even sometimes do the chameleon walk.

will do. I’m mostly going for springtails and isopods for my bio actives I’m trying to start.

My turtle is very lucky to still have a tail after all these year he mentally abuse me with his "golden shower" method.

And the worst part is my hamster is learning to be like him day after day...

 

[Graves923]

"Do you have any other geckos like him?"

We had a hammer and tongs just for centipedes. A few whacks with the hammer, and tongs to get it into the toilet. TWO flushes. They are a fact of life there...and they get big. BIG. You can hear them coming.

 

[Thehippie]

them: Is that a GECKO??
Me: try again
Them: I KNOW.... IGUANA
Me: no
Them: OH OH ITS THAT CHANGEY COLOR GECKO
Me: i thought i just told you it wasnt a gecko

i get this from all my school friends, like once a month at least
