I am done keeping chameleons. At least for the time being. I am devastated over the loss of both my boys. Their environment was a picture of the care sheets. They had live plants, top of the line lights and misting system, a better diet than mine (and that goes for the bugs too!). I am not deciding as yet whether to get out of the hobby or not. I am too sad to make a permanent decision but I do think I will eventually get another cham. I have the dubious task of breaking down their enclosures and my question is if there is some disinfection or cleaning process I should use or is 1:10 bleach sufficient? And what about the live plants? Soap and water on the leaves and new soil? I appreciate any insights. I know I have written several posts to new keepers, telling them not to be discouraged but it is sure easier to say than do. Even when husbandry is absolutely correct things still can go wrong. Nature is a *****.
