Maybe all this assumption about chameleon's lack of intelligence is projection?
And intelligence is not the end-all to something as complex in nature.
Just because something doesn't live up to your expectations of what "intelligence" is...doesn't mean it's as dumb as a bag of hammers.
There are so many forces at work in a shot like that. Tongue length...does she know how long it is and can judge distance from her mouth to the prey item...? Direction of travel, horizontal and vertical angles vs. distance, rate of speed, height and airspace....in the wild, the branch they are...
I've kept reptiles for over 30 years. Intelligence in reptiles can't be determined by how socialized they are or become. Some are easily socialized. Some aren't.
Chameleons are specialized at concealment...everything about them is concealment. The eye turets are so they don't have to move to...
I use the habba mist. It's basically a glorified dripper. It might be good if you go out of town for a couple of days and can't hand mist..or as an addition to get extra water in there...but you can't compare it to a pro mister which will actually mist.
Your friend is confused...to say it politely. As I have been told and read about....some species of chameleons darken when territory is threatened by another male or other species viewed as a threat.
The notion that chameleons "don't like black" is silly...when you are talking about stationary...

You can find those screen stops at the hardware store if you need to replace the actual stopper...if it's a screw hole stripping problem...you can retap it with a fatter screw. Take it off and bring it with you to the store for comparison on other screws which will fix the problem with only a...
I see what you are saying...but the cage is configured different. I emailed Tyler about it...I'll wait on his response.
The cage I have now has a door on the wide front...it's 24" long by 18 wide by 24 high.
The 24 inch front opens...so the cage view is more like a TV front rather than a...
well...without a link...i have no idea what that is.
I know where to get nice cages...but they're $125 plus $45 shipping...and that's pricey. I was posting on here in hopes of referral or used cage.
I need a cage for my growing Panther....if anyone can recommend a reasonably priced tough screened 30x18x36 or has a used one in excellent condition for sale...let me know.
