When I had my iguanas I used to fill the tub up a few inches and let them swim. Does anyone know is (vieled) Chams would like that as well?
The way you phrased that "let them swim" cracked me up.
Fill the tub, toss in your iguana and "let" him swim- like he's got a choice LOL.
Long ago in the early 90s I sold a veiled to a local who ended up being a little "different". Several months after selling him the lizard, he invited me over to his house to check out his new setup that he had converted from an old stereo cabinet. While there he told me he wanted to show me something- casually walked over to the kitchen sink and dropped his veiled into a sink full of water much to my astonishment. The veiled blew itself up like a little balloon and floated quite well, paddling less well with his little feet. I told him that was not a great idea for a chameleon and it certainly didn't enjoy it and please don't do that again!
So yeah- they can survive a swim. But no, they aren't very good at it unless bobbing along like a ballon on the surface of the water is good at it, and no, they don't appear to enjoy it.
That guy ended up pushing the limits of what I believed a chameleon as a pet was- I ran into him regularly for several years after I sold him that lizard- in the summer he wore the chameleon on his hat to the the store, and he would hold it and pet it. I would never do those things with a chameleon- mine never seemed to enjoy being touched. But his seemed fine with it, judging by it's coloration and body language. It appeared very healthy.
I think about it from time to time and always end up thinking the same thing- it was weird.

LOL Yeah you got a point, but the iguanas did love to swim..they even had a latter to come out when they were ready. The free ranged most of the time , I only caged them when people where visiting (always going in and out, in and out) I was always afraid someone would let them go.
I think for my cham I am going to stick to the Shower!!
Thank you everyone for your imput!
