Thanks for the link to the caresheet. We located a vet that specializes in reptile care and will try to collect a sample to take in to have it tested for parasites. Thank you for the fast responses!

So we acquired a new flap neck, and would like to make sure he’s thriving as he should be. He arrived very thin and withered and almost emaciated looking – very bony and sickly. He looked awful, didn’t seem to be having any bowel movements and was spending a LOT of time on the floor of the...

Thanks for the response. I wish I had some adivce to give you on the egg laying, but I'm totally new to all this. Good luck with everything and keep us all posted.

Again, thanks for the two-cents. I'm not so much worried about being able to afford the vet bills, it's really more just a matter of going into this with both eyes open and being prepared for what additional expenses we may need to incur. As for the handling concerns, we realize that these...

The impression I get is that the carpets in general tend to be more shy and not as fond of being handled - but that there are exceptions to the rule. Not sure if we want to chance that. I think we're still leaning towards the flapneck, we're just grappling with the fact that no one has any...

How is the egg laying coming along? Is your female doing well? I'm not sure where you're located, but if you're in the U.S. might I ask where you got your flapnecks from? We've been really interested in getting one but haven't had much luck finding them online. Were both of yours wild caught?

Thanks so much for all the feedback, everyone. I'm so glad I found this forum! I think we're still leaning a bit more towards the flap-necked if we can find a CB, but it's encouraging to know that the carpets can be docile as well.

Okay, so some of you may have seen from my last post that we're now debating between a carpet and a flap-necked cham. This will be the first chamelon for both of us. Just curious to see what you more experienced owners think. Is one more low maintenance as far as care goes than the other? Is...

Okay, so we thought the flap-necked was what we were leaning towards, but now my husband is contemplating leaning more towards a carpet cham (previously his #2 choice) due to concerns about the potential for colors/patterns. I personally like that the flap-necks seem to be prone to less fancy...

Thanks for the advice. I actually sent emails to/left messages with FL Chams, LLL and several others last week. We'll see what comes of it. I'll try to post pics of the set-up once everything's in place. I agree with your suggestion of running it for a couple weeks to make sure everything's...

We're in Ohio - Cleveland area.

My husband's had his heart set on one for years - he likes the colors, size, look. This will actually be our first chameleon. My husband's done a lot of research and has the cage and accessories all set up. All we're missing is the cham. Reptile City has some, but I'm a bit skeptical as I've...

Hello! New to the forum, here. We're looking to purchase a flap-necked chameleon but are finding few places that carry them and those that do seem to have them out of stock. Can anyone recommend a good breeder or dealer that might have some available? Thank you!
