I agree with alphakenc that you need to give the lil guy a lot more time. Chameleons seem to be fairly stress-prone animals, and they can take a few weeks or months before they adapt fully to a new schedule or place. Give it time. If he's still seeming stressed out at lights out in 2 weeks, post...

Absolutely, I think this is the sanest way to think about it. Obviously you shouldn't ONLY have a cup, but if you had a brilliant automatic misting system AND a shiny, well-lit reflective water glass that was cleaned daily, it might not be crazy.

I dunno really lol just something more conclusive I suppose?

These look great, I'll begin tracking down these articles right away. Thanks!

Hi, non-Canadian here, but can you tell us what kind of cham, how old, and how much you're looking to spend? These are all necessary to give u the best advice possible :) thx

Hey everyone, So I had a chameleon pass away recently from what we believe was a stroke and since then I have been on this kick to understand the chameleon brain. Are there any review articles that examine chameleon neurobiology/neuroanatomy, perhaps with an emphasis on the CNS? I have been all...

IMHO this is exactly what you need to be a good chameleon owner: enthusiasm and the ability to admit mistakes and correct them. Great job taking criticism and acting! I really hope this turns things around for your little guy.

Hmm by this logic if you made water somehow disperse more light you could increase the probability of drinking right? So maybe increasing the amount of light on your misting setup or somehow arranging the water to make it "shinier" would make watering easier? I guess it's possible that they're...

C'mon dude, at least post a picture, and maybe buy a scale if you wanna be sure. Kitchen scales are $20 or less on Amazon.

Daw look at that veil! So distinguished! Very pretty boi

This is not the way I meant "re-train"; as you would a German Shepherd to roll over for amusement. I'm talking about the learning and behavioral modification process that a wild-caught chameleon would have to go through to adapt to this terrible situation in order to survive. My interest is not...
