CHameleon Owners Manual

[creddjobs]

Hey guys,
I was researching again today and ran across this PDF
http://webhome.idirect.com/~chameleon/pdf/owners_manual.pdf
Maybe it can help some new or future owners of the species like myself. If this has already been listed then please remove.
Thanks!!! CR

Overall has some good points but not happy with "keep your chameleon in an aquarium of adult size" even though it never says what that size may be or the fact that an aquarium is not suitable for a chameleon. Or a basking zone of up to 105 degrees without ever mentioning a species of chameleon it might be applied to. That could kill a jacksons, which not an altogether rare species. You do not need a fancy basking bulb - a regular household florescent works just as well. And calcisand for substrate is a terrible idea. Gutloading advice is not great either.

It has some good parts but leaves much to be desired in some key areas in my opinion. I'd double check against other sources here on the forums first before following too much of this particular article's advice.

I've addressed some of those points here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/frequently-asked-questions-71620/#post668824
