Why do you troll on my things mine is perfectly healthy. Thank you
Trolling is a malicious behavior, and my request you not give advice is not malicious.
You have shown repeatedly you know almost nothing about keeping chameleons even with the pages and pages and
pages experienced chameleon keepers have posted here to try to help you get it right. Your inability to absorb the information people have given you shows either you willfully choose to ignore advice or you simply can't learn because of a physical or mental condition. I can't think of any other reason why you can't even learn how to supplement with calcium after all the advice others have given you. There are some that suggest you simply want to create havoc on the forum.
Your latest question about oyster shells had been asked by you before. Aside from the fact you have already asked this very same question before--which begs the question, do you even read the responses to your questions and requests for guidance?--it goes to the very heart of your not getting the husbandry right. Your first chameleon died a horrible death because of a calcium metabolism problem likely directly caused by your not giving her proper UVB lighting and calcium supplements. Those two things, good lighting and calcium, are very basic to successful chameleon keeping. Without them, your chameleons will die a pretty horrible death as you have seen. Your very recent question on calcium tells anyone who has followed your threads that you haven't grasped one of the most important and simplest concepts of successful chameleon keeping.
You recently posted asking for help because your new chameleon was not eating. Not eating is a sign of poor health for one reason or another or poor husbandry. Out of two chameleons that have been in your care, one is dead and suffered horribly when you failed to give it the bare necessities of life. The second, one you've had only a month or so, is now declining.
Your poor success at keeping chameleons healthy or alive means quite simply that you aren't doing it right. If you can't get it right you really have no business giving advice to people in trouble.
When people come on this forum looking for help, they often do not know which members know what they are talking about and who doesn't. It is imperative that the information on this forum be correct or as close to correct as we know at this time. People who can't keep chameleons healthy have no business offering advice to people who have chameleons that are doing poorly unless it is in a specific situation that they know intimately and have some knowledge to share.
If you want to join in on a conversation, I suggest you qualify what you say. You recently made a false statement about Baytril. Instead of presenting your wrong information as fact, you could have posed it as a question and asked if your (wrong) information was correct, something along the lines of, "I have heard that....." That could have been a productive conversation. Your false information would have been corrected, others would have learned something, but most important you wouldn't have passed on patently false information as fact to some unsuspecting novice.
Few chameleon keepers get it right the first time around. Face it, most people find chameleons hard to keep. I don't want to discourage anyone from coming on here asking for help for fear they will be judged because that's just not the case. There are a variety of reasons people end up here with chameleons in dire straits that can be directly attributed to poor care. Often it is simply not realizing all that is involved in successfully keeping chameleons. We really want to help these people to get it right, and we are a pretty dedicated group giving freely of our time and experience.
