I really appreciate the encouragement I just got a little discouraged. Purified is what I meant to say, sorry about that.
Yup you guys were all just trying to give correct info and I got a little upset cause I couldn't haha. I'm very eager to help sometimes too eager. I'll have to do that with the thread. Would you need a side shot up close or what?
Haha That's funny that you'd say that about the pawing. Our little yoshi did the same thing. We had actually gone once before and he did it. Then the second time we went in he was doing it again. I couldn't resist and that's the story of how I got both of my chams. About the moth, I've heard from a bunch of different user's about feeding them wild caught insects. What I heard from them was not it's not a good idea because they can carry parasite's, So you have to be careful. If i'm wrong please someone correct me. If i'm correct please let me know. I actually have a bunch of moths that like to come in my room at night, I just catch them and put them back outside. I wouldn't feed them wild caught insects though. (If I sound rude at all I apologize That isn't my intention, I'm just trying to be helpful.)Yea I noticed the marks on her and wondered what they were. Poor thing was in a TEENY enclosure with NO climbing, with like 10 other chameleons AND they would spray mist directly on them for like 30 seconds, 3 times a day. AND the guy said he had had them for 2 weeks. All the other ones were really sluggish and most of them were sleeping. Patchouli was at the front of the cage looking at me and like pawing at the glass with her front feet (PLEASE HELP! GET ME OUT OF HERE!) And I knew right then, I had to get her out of there. I did take her outside for about 30 minutes today. She climbed around a bit then settled on my arm. When we came back in I set her drip back up. Soon as she saw that water she ran over and took some BIG drinks and then put her head up really high and let it splash on her. It was SUPER cute. OH! And I found a little moth outside last night and put it in her cage, she ate it for breakfast. Tomorrow I am going to get her a UV bulb and a couple of live plants. I'm going to put the plants in there in pots and take the bark out of the bottom.
BTW, I checked out those 2 articles you posted Trace. REALLY informative, thank you SO much!
So here is Patchouli in her newly remodeled home! I put 3 live plants in there.. A Pothos, a Ficus and a Schefflera (or however you spell it). Got her some Rep-Cal Herptivite multivitamin to start off with and got her a Reptisun 5.0 UVB lamp. Here are some pics!!!
