Basic info on Misting and fogging...

Skin uses UVB to form previtamin D, which is then converted, through the function of several organs, into D3. This is how animals are able to manufacture their own D3. UV light also effects how things visually appear to lizards.

Well this is my first blog, so I'll tell about Mel. She is my first pet, and she is unlike most chameleons in the way that she is too happy to just chill on my shoulder/neck. She also doesn't get too excited when I put my hand in her cage and pick her up (crawl on my hand).
She's about 5...

This got me thinking. I couldn't have gotten to this point without the support of my local keepers...
