i bought him on a whim at a pet store in hoquiam (WA). he was sold to me as a jackson
honestly i had no idea what i was buying, i just thought he was cute. but i can't even allow a house plant to die, let alone a little creature. I put him in a big glass vase with some twigs and blades of grass like you would with a rollie pollie bug and he turned black. and black is never a good color, so i started reading about chameleons and 2 days into owning this little fella i dropped $300 into his vet visit, housing, lights, etc.
i bought him to spoil myself, and couldn't allow him to suffer because of my stupidity.
