Thanks! Just so everyone doesn't freak out, the two cage pics are from the cage I recently made my Senegal, the third one is the sick cham at the store.

Going to insert the images now. Where do I upload the videos?

The last pic is the cham at the petstore, not Karmachameleons.


Here are the videos as well.

If you got the videos saved you can upload to youtube, I'll let you put them on mine. To post the pics just scroll down and click "manage attachments".

Going to upload them now. Btw, nice enclosure! I bet your cham is very happy in there.

He seems to be getting used to it quickly.

So here are the videos! I just lost electricity for about 20 seconds and I was like ".....!!!!!"

Thanks, sorry it's such horrible quality, they wouldn't let me open the screen door.

I would have complained about that. I would have just said "If im going to purchase the chameleon, I would like a closer look. If not, ill take my business elsewhere." It always works.

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

That might have worked but they saw I only had one dollar in my pocket and they were selling all 3 of the dying chams for 110 bucks each.

This is really quite absured. Unfortunately since you are under age you can't walk in there pretending to be apart of PIDA and state that their enclosure is not under the proper conditions for animals therefore they could have their liscense to sell exotic animals revoked.

All you can do is contact your local authority and state that what you have seen, show your evidence, is animal cruelty and they need to be stopped. If you can speak with your parents about this and let them know how important it is to you. If you're very passionate about something there should be no reason why they would stop you.

It's more rewarding to know you did all you possibly could to help the animal then to hear someone just pass it off, like the woman did, as a non-crucial situation.


Addition: Each town has a center for animal cruelty. If you can't access the proper information to get ahold of them then just contact your local authority.

@Dawnie,

no no haha the first 2 pics of the enclosure are of the new enclosure I built MY cham.

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

The pet store's enclosure was about a 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 feet. It was mostly screen, dirt on bottom, all fake vines, one small bendy branch, a waterfall, and the three dying chams. It only had a white heat lamp, red heat lamp, and NO UVB.

You have to report it to someone - try going to the petstore and asking who to report it to! They'll probably know.......otherwise write to your Congressman and ask who to report it to.......
