Quick question

[Emcee101]

For the active long running members, have you seen more sickness, and disease in the winter months? Cause I'm sure some of these new guys don't realize they have cold hands, hard handling. Our seasons here in the Us differ so much from the chameleon habitats. So I'm just asking for some info enlightmet =D

I've read during winter months that chams have a tendency to bunker down. Not being as active. But I don't think it should matter as long as you keep your temps where they should be.

Unless you have some WC Chams most CB won't really know that there is a change of seasons with temps. There are periods where females will not go receptive and I'm seeing this more often during the winter months here in the Northeast. All of my chams are still pretty active though.

Maybe, maybe not...even here in San Diego we're running the heater more, the daylight hours are less. Yes, there is misting and added lighting, but it's not the same and my chameleons seem to know it. They are definitely more "vine potatoes" during the winter months.

One could make the argument that it's important to give them "seasons" so they can regulate things like fertility.
