Hey, All! So the pet store we get crickets from (not a big chain) received a malnourished full-grown male chameleon from someone who could not take care of it anymore. They are trying to get him to gain weight before they sell him. He looks healthy other than needing to gain some weight. However, they have had him for quite some time, and he hasn't gained weight, but they have him in very, very poor housing. They do not have a proper set-up for a full grown chameleon, and he's in this very small (VERY small) enclosure that is mostly bare with one vine and one small plant up in the corner. I think he is not eating because he is stressed from the conditions in which he is living. So I asked the kid working if I signed waiver releasing the pet store from having to refund or replace the chami if something happened to him if I could buy him in order to put him in a proper set up and nourish him back to a healthy state. The kid told me to call Sunday, because the owner would be there then. In case the owner allows this, does anyone have any ideas for a DIY emergency set-up for a rescue until a vivarium could be delivered? It took quite some time for the large enclosure to come for Genesis, and I want to get that poor chameleon out of his poor living conditions as soon as possible.
