Calcium via drinking water i think the vet ment to add it through misting with a hand mister or something.
I use the liquid calcium from Exo Terra on tap water (1 drop per 30 ml. of water) when i give my chameleons water by hand with a pipette.
As far as the cat food, the vet said that cat...
Hi Bigheadben,
An oustalet's is a wonderful and docile chameleon. They get pretty large, in length. Of course every character differs but in average this species is very docile and laid back. My Jack (11 months) is housed in a full screen enclosure 24x24x48 and goes to a larger one when he is...

Hello everyone!
Yesterday I finally picked up my Meller's chameleon!
I don't know if its a male or a female. The animal is about 2 to 2,5 years old. I bought it from a store, who housed him in a large enclosure (6'x6'x4) for about 7 months. The store owner has experience with chameleons and...
