Black spots (not from aggression)

[Pearl Fields]

I had one before and lived a good life of nearly 5 yrs and same species but never encountered such issue before

One of the same kind??

 

[K4fru]

It does not look healthy. Wild caught chameleons have health issues and parasite issues.

What do u suggest please but i wont return it

 

[K4fru]

One of the same kind??

Yes caught from same desert by same zoo ?

 

[Pearl Fields]

May I ask did you get feedback on the husbandry form you filled out in the other thread ??

 

[NashansCamos]

Ok i'm getting confused on how you actually got him.

Did you see him catch him while you were walking in the desert?

Did you buy it from a zoo that raised him?

Did you buy him from the zoo but the zoo said that it was wild caught?


be honest it dosent matter which one is tru I just want to know how you got him.

I do not know what the species requirements are for this one. I am not able to help you there. @PetNcs can you identify the chameleon in the original post of this thread? I believe it is a Common Chameleon based on the location being Egypt that it was caught. I do not have a good reference for care requirements for this chameleon.

The third
They dont breed them they catch them in summer and release them in winter
(Fun fact a chameleon here is very cheap they cost like 2 dollars each which is also cheap in egyptian pounds so many dont bother breeding)

 

[PetNcs]

hello thats not a veiled chameleon i'm actually not sure which species that is maybe someone else will know. Can you please fill out this form? was it wild caught did you catch it youself?

It is onvioisly NOT a Yemen chameleon but the Common/European/Mediterranean Chameleon, Chamaeleo chamaeleon

i do not want to be offensive, but according to all you write you are not pretty knowledgeable and mishandle the chameleon badly

 

[PetNcs]

Yeah that chameleon doesn’t look Like it’s a veiled. Also On its front ankle something doesn’t look right. Like the bone broke or something.

I can not see any break, can you be specific where?

 

[PetNcs]

It is wild caught, what i know, in Egypt there are 2 species the green called agricultural(زراعي) cuz they live in green lands and the desert one(صحراوي ) lives in deserts. When i searched i found they were origionally in yemen then lived here as their homeland.

there are two species only in Egypt
None of them were originally from Yemen
Just the Common chameleon reaches in its southernmost range limit in yemen but in another sub species (C.c.orientalis)

Chamaeleon chamaeleon
And
Chamaeleo africanus

Thank you Petr do you have a reference for the poster on how to properly care for this species? It is not one we see here.

 

[PetNcs]

No in my balcony there is direct sunlight enough for him, and temperature should be good this is his homeland and i provide water and misting and calcium powder i get from fish bone it works magic

that type of calcium powder is too high in salt
So it is not food for chameleons
You meed also other supplementa like bee pollen and mumtivitamis to
Keep him alive eapexially when you feed him with the mealworms, which is not a good fokd anyway

 

[NashansCamos]

is this directed towards me?
