I have some random questions. I had some friends over who were asking chameleon questions I couldn't answer lol! If anyone could answer the below that would be awesome.
For preface, each of my chams are kept in separate areas of the house and each has their own dedicated plants and set up. They've never been in the same room, and I never intend them to be. Mr. Jack staying at the colder end of the house for his more drastic night temp drop and Littlefoot in the warmer area.
Is a solormeter really worth it? I have 2 chams and may add a 3rd at some point. There's one on sale for $100 off ($370 Canadian tax+shipping included - $265 US). If you have one, do you actually send it to get it calibrated each year? Did it pay for itself considering bulb replacement cost?
Can chams share free range areas, at separate individual times? Or is it best to make each their own? I'm currently thinking of making each a spot to hang out by a window while I clean their cage.
If I brought one into the same room as the other, but they still can't see each other. Would they still know they're each there? Can they smell each other?
If I had one on a plant, took it away and put another on it, would it know a different cham was on it?
How far away can they be in the same room before they notice each other?
And most random of all... Do they get to know individual chams? Like if you breed them, say Timmy hooked up with Tammy and Tina... Would Timmy later be able to tell Tammy from Tina, if they were to meet again?
Thank you for any answers...
