1. The chameleons in these pet stores have very tiny enclosures :(

If you have ever been to Petco or Petsmart and walked past the chameleon section, you will notice that they have the same size enclosure as all of the other reptiles. The pet stores don't understand that chameleons need to climb, they need to have ACTUAL plants, they need to be misted, they need to have supplements, they need to have HEALTHY bugs, and so many other countless things that your chameleon will need. The pet stores sell a chameleon "Starter kit" This includes: ReptiBreeze Screen Enclosure (18 in L x 18 in W x 36 in H), ReptiBreeze Substrate Bottom Tray, ReptiSun T5 High Output Fluorescent UVB Lamp 12 in 15w, ReptiSun Terrarium Hood 14 in, Repti Basking Spot Lamp 75w, Mini Deep Dome Lamp Fixture, Thermometer/Humidity Gauges, Naturalistic Floria Flexible Hanging Vine 6 foot, ReptiVine 40 in, & Naturalistic Flora Large Artificial Plant.
If you've ever owned a chameleon, you will know that a chameleon needs way more than an artificial plant, an enclosure, a heat lamp, a UV light, and a couple of vines. Not to mention, that all of this junk costs $250 at Petsmart?? They really need to update the chameleon "Starter kit" that they are selling, because so many people buy this "Starter kit" thinking that is all that a chameleon needs, and their chameleon ends up getting sick, or worse.
If you are looking for a chameleon starter kit, check the one that Neptune the Chameleon is selling, it is on sale for the same price as the Petsmart one!! (Normal price: $266)
