This was a natural thing that happened in the wild. The translucent was not "bred" into them.
Thank you for clearing that up for me. I thought it was intentionally done.
I really don't understand one thing......altho they are very nice, I wonder what the point of breeding color out of the cham is. I thought the idea was to get MORE color, not less. And also, would this make the chameleon more stressed as they can't blend in as well??
I had that problem in the beginning too and one of the forum members suggested putting them in the fridge for a few minutes to slow them down. Covered of course!
Personally, I would use aquarium silicone on the sharp edges. It will stand up to the water and mist better than hot glue. Just let it cure for about 24 hrs. before introducing to your chameleon. Hope this helps.:)
I proudly showed off my bite marks at work. As usual they all think I'm nuts! LOL don't you just love co-workers? They said I need to start a cover charge for when people come to visit. It's like a little zoo in here! Yeah, my evil plan is working....the ones afraid of snakes stay away! Gotta...
I would take the plant outside and spray (rather forcefully) with a strong stream from your garden hose. Make sure to spray well on the underside of the leaves and leaf joints where they like to hide. check it a little later and spray again if necessary. Hope this helps.
It's colorful, and has interesting design elements..different shapes and textures. Don't you ever think the chameleons are pretty? Or other animals? What about animal art? Paintings and photography? It's sad to think you live in a world where nothing is pretty.
