I just recently purchased a juvenile Mellers at the Reptile show that was by my house the other week and its doing great so far. I was a little weary of purchasing it because I heard they were extremely sensitive to stress especially as babies, but they were CB in florida about 5 months old (so the gentleman told me) and were a decent price. I have no reason to disbelieve him that they were not captive bred? I've never seen babies imported, just adults and he had quit a few along with some other species and they all looked extremely healthy. But I've had other types of chameleons & many other reptiles before so I decided to go with it confident wth my knowledge. I was curious if anyone else has had a Mellers, or currently has one and raised it from a baby. Just wondering what I should look forward to and any precautions I should take. Right now hes in his first stage setup, a 65gal. reptarium with vines and pothis plants. I noticed it drinks a ton, misting about 4 times a day at least. I got a lot of info from melleridiscovery.com which was very helpful. But thanks for any info anyone throws in here!
