Wow, that is lots of information. How long do they live in the wild and how long should they live in captivity under the best conditions?

Based on mu statistics In captivity:Wow, that is lots of information. How long do they live in the wild and how long should they live in captivity under the best conditions?
Gets hot there, an ambient of 80s is going to be more intense than a warm basking spot with room temp ambient. Means many days will likely be in the 90s with little rain where they live. Not saying to replicate this, but graphs of averages can be misleading... for example, our average is about 83-84, half our month is mid 90s though.
And what, a dry season is needed or they die young?
And we have the wild ones that have adapted to South Florida climate with the heat and humidity and I guess subtropical year round. Hallmark of an invasive species is that they can adapt. I am sorry but I don't have fogger and all these mister and light controls for mine but trying to provide it with best life.
The Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean has been taken over by the invasive lionfish. This is a tropical IndoPacific species that had specific water, temperature and salinity requirements in it's native habitat and now can survive estuarine, deep sea and all sorts of coastal and shelf habitats. It had to adapt. It has the advantage of fast reproduction and chams don't.
They are over a year old now, and are doing fine.Please do not peoduce too mivh of rhe similar genetic material... they are already badly crippled genetically in captivity
No neverIn the geologic record, did North America ever have chameleons? There seems to be a niche available for retractable bullet tongue feeders. We have nothing like it. We have the Carolina Anole and many others but no true chams.
Sinling reproduction is a terrible practiceThey are over a year old now, and are doing fine.
We don't have dry season in our home and they are cooled with AC. All we can do is adjust lighting times and mister.
