Okay time for another session of Sara's crazy ideas. The gnats are getting really bad and I'm trying traps and all that stuff but I wanted to run an idea by you. If I am not mistaken, I believe flightless fruit flys' genetics on dominant, meaning that if a fruit fly were to breed with a mutant...

By instinct, mice should not want to be held, but some do anyway. Instinct is, after all, hereditary habitual learning

H Hehe sammich meatballs. Habitual learning is in nearly every animal. Without it they wouldn't be animals

Hey its worth a shot! That is super interesting though. I think one of my favorite things about chameleons is their crazy differing personality.

Imprinting is done only through birds. When a bird imprints, it sees the imprinted as its "future mate" which is why endangered birds cannot be allowed to be raised by a human without precautions at any cost. What you're thinking of is just building trust. No reptiles have parental care other...

I'm not thinking of imprinting. Imagine a squirrel that is raised in the hands of a human is more likely to come to one to ask for food than a wild squirrel would.

I know! I was thinking I'll split them in half in the first month- one being handled minimally and the others treated with human training

Maybe it's his personality! Or maybe he just had a very kind breeder. Maybe both! Nature vs nurture I guess

I also had the idea of feeding them every time I handle then, and then switching to feeding them every other time I handle them, then easing off feeding. A good 'ol training situation but they would highly associate your hand with snacks. Maybe even using specifically superworms and while...

So I'm sitting here and trying to think of alternative ways to get a chameleon feeling like a human presence is "normal". I understand instincts are a strong thing, but maybe they can be persuaded otherwise. WHAT IF as one were to raise the babies, they keep the bin they are in (for the first...

I always viewed it as a leaf. Veileds, in my opinion, are some of the best at camouflage and the casque only helps add that leaf like protrusion

I respect scientists and hard research but it's difficult to take them seriously when they get offended when one asks for research

Well do you have the data?

Sure thing! Ambanjas. In like. A couple years. Eventually I'm going to make a baby build setup video too but for now I'll rest haha.

I finally compiled my setup shopping list, made a build video, and added some basic advice. What do you think? https://sarbearwares.wixsite.com/beaktappets/about' The website is under construction and has nothing of interest other than build info. I am currently getting permission to also add...

Hi there! Would I have permission to link this on my website? I'm making a compiled list of useful links for things like building enclosures etc.

Monitor lizard- tegus are 4-4.5

I guess I asked the right person! Haha thanks for all your help! I would hate to get in trouble for anything unintentional. Can i simply mention the chameleon forums? And links to here are totally okay?

Yes of course. I will be contacting the proper people, i can promise that.
