That is one thing I look forward to, and you're probably right. I've started forcing myself to look at pictures of them, etc. I hate being afraid of things, but it certainly helps to have a reason. However, my chameleon is going to start off with crickets, snails, and worms.

One of my first experiences with chameleons was with a friend who owned a large chameleon, panther I believe now that I'm looking at these pictures, looked sort of like a Nosy Mitsio but definitely not a Veiled. Very healthy and very laid back. She would let him free range. Now, one of the...

I'm a bit squeamish of insects myself. But I am learning how to handle them. Granted, I don't have a chameleon yet, but crickets aren't too bad. I don't think I can handle the roaches though, simply because I don't want to risk one getting away. I've killed them before, no problem. Ants aren't...

Looking at an Ambilobe from Screameleons. I have completely fallen in love with the colors of panthers. The father is turquoise, red, lime, and yellow. Very handsome and bright mix.

Thanks Again Yes, I do have a fireplace. It's a beautiful stone fireplace large enough to keep the whole house warm. Yes, that's a good idea about raising insects. I've raised crickets and ants before. I already decided that if I should end up feeding my chameleon wild crickets then I would...

Thank you Thanks very much. I'll keep all of this in mind definitely since what I want most of all is to have a healthy chameleon, and, under no circumstances, would I want to torture the poor thing. Another quick question about wild insects. I live out in the country in the middle of a woods...

Hey all, I am new to these forums and soon to be a new chameleon owner. I am hoping to pick up a Jackson chameleon (Bartholomew, it's a long story) after I graduate from college, something I have been wanting to do for years now. I live out in the country, which is great. Most of the insects...
