I got it from Walmart. Made sure to wash it in the shower and repot it with organic soil. Then I covered the soil with rocks. Now the humidity in his enclosure has jumped from 50% to 70%. Definitely happy.
Figured this would be a good time to ask about my husbandry: am I doing a good job...
I've got some other fruits and veggies to feed my crickets though. Need to know if I can use any of the following:
radish
cucumber
oranges
romaine lettuce
Last night I glued some screen to the lid of a tote so the crickets I´m housing can breathe. So long as I let the glue dry, it shouldn´t affect the crickets or my chameleon, right?
I was misting his enclosure and he climbed onto some leaves really close to me and waved his hands at me. I couldn’t resist and I held my hand out. He walked on and immediately up my sleeve and he hung out on the top of my head for a couple minutes. I was wearing a beanie so he had a good grip...
I've had three reptiles before, but never a chameleon. I am 16 years old and this reptile would be under my care fully. I assisted in taking care of two box turtles and one ball python. I've been reading up on it, and it seems like a chameleon requires a lot of maintenance-but I'm ready for it...
