Interesting replies from all. I have to agree with everyone who is passionate about free ranging, the chams love it no doubt, and it will help them live longer. From what I got, I think that the "permanent / long term unsupervised" free range setup is a bit dangerous and I think took away from...

Jann, I definitely would say the exposure to natural light does wonders for the chameleons health, and that my issues would've been lessened if not avoided completely had I had that. Unfortunately my nyc apartment didn't get too much direct light, and I gave the cham my whole living room. again...

Actually, my observations were that my chameleon pooped in the same place regularly in his closet where the water / food / lighting setup was. Also the majority of the lush plants. Couldn't pinpoint which of these elements created that pattern. He only pooped on the couch once with diarreah when...

Jann Most certainly have done my fair share of experimenting. And yes, the chameleons moving at their own free will together was a poor idea, and resulted in a death that shouldn't have occurred. Agreed, chams don't need UVB all the time. However, the time my chameleon spent on his perch or...

Haven't posted in a while, but wanted to share my observations and experiences with chameleon efforts. I began with a rescue Melleri named Olive, living in New York City, who was about 3 years old. His original setup was a reptibreeze large enclosure, hooked up with all the trimmings. After he...

I'm not an idiot mate, and I understand my apartment isn't the wild. You don't know me, and yes most people are foolish so I can't blame the suspicion. When referring to "wild" I meant that I had created a very good setup with a huge space and dialed in the particulars to maintain his survival...

Thanks alot for your response, very thoughtful, and an amazing approach you had to doing it, perhaps mine was not planned enough as you had suggested. I was cautious in my approach and did provide separation. Days had passed with no indication of danger or any type of aggressive displays or...

I'd be happy if you directed me to data to substantiate any of your behavioral claims with the meller's eating other large lizards and territorial behavioral studies. They are certainly not very readily available on this website. Go ahead and search Meller eating lizard, and you don't get a hell...

All of which is true, good observations, but I'd disagree with Survival bit, i think feeding is just as much a part of survival as anything else is. However my chameleo, had an abundant / full cricket pot, and most certainly a full stomach, eating a giant lizard didn't seem to factor into the...

Hello keepers, I'd like start by saying thank you to all of you for being part of something truly amazing, and lending your advice and knowledge to others, who wish to join our little world of chameleon husbandry. The act of replicating an environment in such great detail, facilitating a...

I'm confident it won't kill him, but better safe than sorry, it depends on what kind of person / keeper you are. I'd say your option should be to simply wait until you have everything set up. That is the most responsible thing to do, there is no rush to getting a new cham, take the time, get him...

Honestly, THEE..... most important part of keeping chameleons successfully is having a stable and appropriate environment. I would highly suggest delaying getting a chameleon until your temperatures and setup is complete. Otherwise you will only be doing the animal a disservice. It won't kill...

Hey there, So I have an absolutely monstrous free range set up, a living room with a system of interconnected plants, walkways, and feeding spots. Right now I have a 3+ year old Meller who is living in this spot. I would like for him to have a companion, or simply to fill the space up a bit...

100% would reccommend against it. Everyone here is an expert on chams, but I'm an artist / designer and I've grown up doing graffiti. Spraypaint is a chemical mixture to bond pigment, nothing is guarantee when applying to a different surface and I would not take the risk. Very unneccessary...

Sucks for you guys, i'm the freakin man. ahahahaha. Just kidding i'm a loser like the rest of you on this forum. Ahaha I'm an artist / designer and get paid well to do so, so i'm basking in my weirdness and profiting from it i guess. Nah but seriously girls come over my crib and think i'm...

I'll also pay as well, don't really care how much, whatever is fair.... just want them to be taken care of

Im going to europe to unveil a club i designed arpil 16th, through the 29th. I have two chameleons that need some love... can anybody either take them for two weeks or come to my apartment and feed them and water the plants / make sure they aren't in danger? You can stay in my apartment...

This comes up on the thread all the time.. my advice.... handle your chams daily.... each cham is different... however they are creatures of habit, if you make a routine thing out of handling for about 5 minutes a day, your cham will start to recognize you not as an alien probing it for a...

There are several threads on this I take my male panther out n about in new York city all the time. There are numerous stories on here of people who let their chams ride around on their hat. My Cham is very observant and is always curious and interested in any and all things... So...

I have almost a 500sq foot free range whom I have a male panther and a male melerri that live together.... The meller will go wherever he pleases, the panther seems to mind it when he takes his basking spot (although there are mutliple ones for him to go to) other than that no fighting or...
