But IDK :confused::confused::confused::confused:
 
Okay...that was really hard to read. Maybe younger people who aren't as "into" paragraphs as I am will come by and understand it better.

First, I think you need to fill out THIS form. Click on that link, copy the questions, paste them into a reply and add your information.

I'm not saying that will stop the questions because there will always be questions...but it will keep the questions in check.

First off, just trying to decipher your post, I think your chameleons should not be able to see each other. They won't appreciate it. They do not need a chameleon friend.

Is this the same chameleon you've started multiple threads on? Please stop that. All that happens when you start multiple threads is that people don't know what is going on and everyone gets confused. That does not help your chameleon.

Pick a thread, stick with it.
 
Actually I could understand it pretty well, and my only suggestion is to fill out the form. Once we know your basic husbandry we can try and figure out the problem. Oh, and Chopper562 u don't know how he is writing the thread, he could be using his phone. As u probably know a lot of phones and mobile devices autocorrect and change things around.Try not to be as rude, we want to help people on here not criticize them.

Hey, I allowed for the fact that it was my being old that made it hard for me to read.

shineru, when you come asking for help it's sort of counter productive to call those trying to help you names.

Kibu, using a phone to post is no excuse for being unreadable. If the phone is such a problem, then I would say don't use it. If you want help with your chameleons, you need to be as clear as possible and if you know your phone mangles complicated stuff, wait until you get home and use your computer. Clarity trumps convenience when it comes to chameleon health.
 
I think its fairly obvious that english may not be the language they are most experienced with.

Shineru, please fill out the form. :)
 
Is something wrong

They don't like to see each other, have you mist them 3 times a day with water from a plant spray and plant foliage? do you have the right UVA light? It must be renewed every 6 months, as the light might be on but the UVA has gone.
Is the viv set at 32 degrees on a thermostat in the day and 18 at night?
Do you have the right humidity? Try to ensure they have a varied diet. Crickets attack chameleons, use locust, fruit grubs, something more nutrious. Most of all they can get pneumonia, it's air borne so get them to a vet, they maybe able to refer you to a reptile specialist, your chameleons should be strong not lifeless, they sound sick to me. Make sure they have branches to climb and green plants to hide behind.ps I've done this off a phone and yes it does make you ramble in one long line.

I think you mean uvb and NOT uva. The uva would be a basking bulb and you can use that until it burns out. A uvb bulb, the rays will diminish over time so it needs to be changed out every 6 months or so.
