There is a search does it hurt to ask though? I have searched and got threads from a long time ago so I re-asked the question

Why don't you just bump the old thread? Old threads with new posts go to the top of the list. And if there was an old thread answering your question.... it most likely answered the question you are asking right? So why repost a question you got the answer to? :rolleyes:
 
WoW what a discouragement to new users thinking everyone is so egar to help... Things that make you go hmmm....
 
To answer the OPers question... kinda..... or to give some insight... Money trees may not be good for th cham, but for a melleri, they are WAY to weak to hold a 300+g chamleon. My cham Henry, who was 450g when I got him, came with a money tree and every branch on it was broken. I don't know how this thing is still alive but it sure looks mangled even a year later.... but it's green and alive so I water it like once a month.

Look for Ficus... big ones. If ya can't get any... Buy vines... like zoo med or exo erra or wahtever... drape them all over the cage for the cham to wander around on... then buy some Pothos... those have to be around ther. Or get Scheflera.... But chef's don't really hold melleri up very well either. You can use pothos and chef's as 'cover' but as long as the melleri has space above your head, it won't hide anyway.

Melleri like to survey 'their territory' meaning... they like to look out over everything around them. so really bushy cages don't always work well. They like an open area at the top of the cage.

I think there is confusion among people of forums. There are people who use the forum for research... those who use it as a place to cry to other people for help, rather than doing the work themselves.

You can ask all the questions you like, and people who think they know will reply. But people who do know for sure are probably sick of answering the same question 500 times. So by asking something over and over again rather than searching sorta dilutes the forum. Makes it hard to find the real answers.

How does this happen?

People who do know the answers and have answered the question before, don't chime in. Why? because they have had to answer that question a lot before.... so, someone else takes a stab at it... now... there are lots and lots of threads about the same question but because so many different people have asked and so many different people have answered, the person who DOES search gets conflicting answers. or just threads like this...

The best way to repost a question you're still not clear on, is to say 'I did a search and I found that people said this and that.... but I was looking for a bit more about this.......' and people will chime in to a more specific part of the original question.

it's kinda like playing Telephone.... but if you reword it in a more direct way it's like playing Telephone and getting to call 411! :D

Or better still just post the link to the old thread in the current post....they tie in nicely then and anyone following it gets the best of both threads. :rolleyes:
 
I've noticed you get upset about Posts that younger children/teens write a lot. I don't think he meant anything mean by what he said, just that it's best to search first. It does get annoying to answer the same question 40 times, and this one has been answered many times before.

In short, it probably wouldn't suit your needs, so whether or not it's safe doesn't really matter anymore...
 
I wasnt getting mad at you. Or anyone. You're the one who took it that way. I just did a quick search, And had all that info in under 5 minutes.

Summoner12 and pssh, Rep given.

Answering the same question all the time is annoying.
