Alot of new keepers think taking care of a cham is hard work. How hard is it to have the right uvb, supplements, right size enclosure and etc? The work isn't really hard. Its more IMPORTANT than it is hard. I have seen pics of chams on this forum with such bad MBD and why? Cause of not having a dang uvb bulb. And God bless the people on this forum. They will help till the end. Sorry about the rant. Somethings just frustrate me. Anyway. Good luck . As long as you have everything dialed in right this hobby is awesome. And the people here will help every step of the way

Yeah I never understood the idea of it being hard. Overwhelming, expensive, and stressful sure but not hard.

Not really.

lmao

It's not me; I just went out on google to find a picture of some, and hit paydirt. ?

Would that be an African swallow or a European swallow?

Not ideal, but realistic. Escapes are rare (they're not fast like American cockroaches) but occasionally, one may make it onto your hand (They're sticky little buggers. Well, not actually sticky—just real good at hanging on) and they're so light, you may not notice until they've crawled up your arm.

Whether it's roaches or crickets or larva, live insect feeders are part of it. Gotta be honest.

What's really weird is one day you'll be looking closely at one, and wonder how it tastes....

W... I don't know! Yaaaaaaaahhhh!

 

[Ramrod]

Gotcha !
I'll make sure to read up on everything and make sure i'm ready to actually for a chameleon !

As you see from the replies there are many on the forum available to answer any questions you may have.
Welcome to our world?

What do you mean? An African or a European swallow?

It’s from Monty Python and the Holy Grail...one of my favorite movies.

I wrote the dialogue from the movie backwards one day from memory for a writing assignment in an English class when I was in high school. ?

Sorry Doc, MissSkittles beat you to it!

Ohh...I thought he didn’t get the reference. Never mind. Nothing to see here.

Nope I didn’t scroll down far enough to see your proper response ?

sorry for the derailment. Can’t resist a good python quote

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

Can’t resist a good python quote

I can't resist them from Howard Hawks' movies.

Ball of Fire (1941)
Sugarpuss O'Shea: [needing help with a stubborn zipper] You know, I had this happen one night in the middle of my act. I couldn't get a thing off. Was I embarrassed!

To Have and Have Not (1944)
Slim: You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow.

The Big Sleep (1946)
Philip Marlowe: She tried to sit on my lap while I was standing up.

The Thing from Another World (1951)
Lt. Ken McPherson: What if he can read our minds?
Eddie: He'll be real mad when he gets to me.

Ned "Scotty" Scott: Dr. Carrington, you're a man who won the Nobel Prize. You've received every kind of international kudos a scientist can attain. If you were for sale I could get a million bucks for you from any foreign government. I'm not, therefore, gonna stick my neck out and say you're stuffed absolutely clean full of wild blueberry muffins, but I promise my readers are gonna think so.

Ned "Scotty" Scott: You sure you know how to use that thing?
Lt. Ken McPherson: I saw Gary Cooper in "Sergeant York." [Another Howard Hawks movie]

Ned "Scotty" Scott: Think of what it means to the world!
Hendry: I'm not working for the world. I'm working for the Air Force.

Ned "Scotty" Scott: An intellectual carrot. The mind boggles.

Final line of the movie:
Ned "Scotty" Scott: Watch the skies, everywhere! Keep looking. Keep watching the skies!

El Dorado (1966)
Cole: I'm lookin' at a tin star with a... drunk pinned on it.
