Ok ive researched chameleons for a couple of years now off and on maybe like 4.Ive always wanted one but never went thru with getting one for these reasons never could decide on a species.. like them all..
, had other animals to tend to, wasnt sure of having the proper knowledge to maintain a healthy animal.I feel now i want to go thru and get one.ive kept crested geckos and leopards in the past and they did well (know their diff evn.) but still the herp side of things.Ive also had two saltwater tanks and i know how much maintence is takes to keep those up so i feel i could handle a chameleon... i think? any help with comparing
what species is the hardiest ?ive read veils,panthers,jacksons but im sure its a lemon thing and just depends on the animal
im planning on getting a juve or sub-adult if so... so i was planning on a 18x22x40 enclosure i wanted to make it big enough the first time.also could i use pine pressure treated wood? would that elimate the mold issue on wood cages from water or would i still have to stain it.
i know chameleons needs a uvb and a basking light but ive also read if a chameleon was in an enclosure it could be placed on a covered enclosed porch without the art. lights because of the natural sunlight but not directly in sunlight is that true?(in florida)
where can i find a ficus or umbrella tree?
i have two dogs which no matter where the chameleon is will not be allowed in the same room.I was wondering if a dog was within a house not in the same room barking( door knock etc..) would they freak the chameleon out and stress it out .. to death?
anyone know if any chameleon vendors or private sellers will be at the orlando repticon?
sorry so long thank you for looking and any help that you may give
