I'm going all out before I try again and I figure it will take about a year (hopefully less depending mostly on finances) before I have everything ready.
There are too many variables with my set-up where it is now. I have a well insulated room that is currently housing foster cats waiting for homes. (Adult cats are very hard to re-home). I can easily get the room it's own temperature and humidity controls as well as better control light pollution etc etc...
I also need to make sure I have a vet fund set aside, not that it would have made a difference in this case, even if I jumped on the fecal the results would not have come until it was too late (assuming there was even a parasite issue).
There are a lot of things I need to change before I bring another chameleon home. For now my frogs will be happy for the extra attention.
