I just use a reptile heating pad anyway. :D Just tune it down with a rheostat and you'll be fine. You can also use a human heating pad that's set on medium.

He could also be sick, which is why he's sleeping. Take him to the vet. :/

They're both beautiful, but that female is absolutely STRIKING! O.O

I don't feed ANY wild caught insects for fear of pesticides/fertilizers. Also, if you can't name the species, we cannot tell you if it is harmful or not. I'd be surprised if they're toxic, but when in doubt, don't!

I'm currently showering my 9 month male veiled since he looked just the tiniest bit dehydrated sine I installed my mistking. (He hasn't gotten used to it yet, so it scares him and he stays away from the mist which means he doesn't get as much water.) I'll let you know how it goes, but I think...

It's emotional, but I cannot let that show or I'll just be ignored and it'll make me look like an idiot. I now see why many of you don't want Animal Rights Groups involved as that could cause a BAN on chameleons overtime. That's the last thing I want. I'll keep PETA out of it, as well as all...

Was your cham sleeping while it was still light, or did you just turn on the lights to take photos? It just looks awfully bright in all of your photographs.

By protest, I did not mean yelling and screaming. I meant a quiet table with my own chameleon and set-up with proper care sheets available, and evidence that PetSmart does not follow all of those guidelines. I'd print out a letter that one of you draft and try and get people to sign it before...

All I want is to make the corporation increase their standards for Chameleon care. I know that individual managers have no power over the care of the animals which is why I wanted to send a message to corporate and then just ensure that nobody buys the chameleons locally. The protest would...

I am going to do something about this. It's unacceptable. Plain and simple.

If someone could type something up and have EVERYONE sign it, I'll print it out and bring it with me to show the reporters just how many people support my cause.

I'll be protesting PetSmart, not PetCo. I need to be prepared for the media or I'll be blown off completely. I'll start with something catchy. "In my honest opinion, PetSmarts treatment of many of their reptiles is in no way any less of a violation of animal rights than what Michael Vick...

I will get a permit to protest in downtown blacksburg. (Petsmart is in a private mall in Christiansburg so I'd get arrested there.) Blacksburg is an eco-friendly area that loves small, local business and not large chains like Petsmart. They'll support my cause, and Blacksburg is only 10...

I can give you EVIDENCE. I'll try and see if I can't make my final purchase from petsmart their Jacksons chameleon. I'll take it to the vet (it has respiratory infection due to its gaping and thick mucus.) and have every exam possible done. I'll then keep the animal in my care for 6 months...

That'd definitely be worth a try. Don't put yourself down just because you're a kid. Get EVERYONE on the forums to sign, and then bring it to www.kingsnake.com Make sure the email gets the the highest level of the PetSmart Corporation. Make sure you have evidence to back up your claims...

pants? And it's because some of us don't have any other options for supplies. I will NEVER buy an animal there, and from now on I will NEVER spend any money there either.

VERY good point. From now on, I wont spend another dime at petsmart. I'll try and set up a protest in front of their store next weekend. Should I inform their staff that I'll be doing this? I'll bring my chameleon and his set-up with me to SHOW what they need. I'll also print out hundreds...

Wow. You really understand how stuff gets done. I'm impressed. :) So how should I go about with my protest? I'll start there like you suggested. Maybe I can eventually buy a cham that they have there that is obviously in poor health and take it to a vet to all a whole array of tests done...

Yes. I definitely have evidence, lol. I'll start taking pictures every now and then and keeping logs on the care. And a petition sounds good.

Not a bad idea. Perhaps I could get the humane society to help me out if I promise them the proceeds. Do you think I could get some of you from Chameleon forums to commute to wherever a trial would take place so you could act as witnesses to petsmarts cruelty?
