New Chameleon = Need Help!

I second reading these articles-

The first thing I think anyone entering into chameleon keeping has to learn is to accept what you think is right is not. Especially if what you think is right was told to you by a pet store employee and not a chameleon breeder.

Be open to accepting help from others and read up on all the great info you can find on the forum. Welcome to the forum.

I would like to add a thought. I have not heard that bubblers in water (by bubbler you mean airstone?) is bad. I do not mean to challange the person that wrote that but I catch myself wondering if in fact that could actually have some benefit besides agitating the water- namely injecting oxygen into the water and suppressing the growth of anaerobic bacteria. This is purely speculation on my part... but a thought.

I believe the bubbler is actually fueled by an air hose, though I might be wrong. That belief was what I based my post on. Bubbled water is definitely better than stagnant water because the movement will attract the chameleon.

Many have posted that their chameleons learned to drink from bowls, so I will never tell a poster that a bowl is horrible.

I firmly believe that any water bowl in a chameleon cage needs to be thoroughly cleaned daily.
