Newbie here…I have had my 4 month old ambilobe, Mr. Smokey, for a month now, and with my experiences and combing these forums, I already feel like a part of the community because I can identify with so much of what is discussed in one way or another. To all of you contributors, thank you so much for sharing your experience and expertise.
Just for fun, here’s my first few entries for…
You know you are a chameleon owner if you:
• Need to explain to your spouse why you just spent $37 for a box containing hornworms, reptiworms and superworms, because your little guy likes variety
• Take genuine pleasure in seeing good healthy poops
• Want to order some blue bottle fly pupae, but first you need to figure out a strategy to convince your spouse to allow them to be kept in the refrigerator
• See a thread on the chameleon forum sharing the loss of loved chameleon and you join in with about 30 other owners, each expressing condolence and sympathy with true empathy because you understand the connection you have with your little guy as a result of all the responsibility, worry, angst, time, expense, fun, fascination and enormous pleasure you derive in the relationship, and how each of our pets has such a unique personality
• Know the geography of Madagascar better than many areas of your own country
• Must manage a world of cages, plants, lighting, temperature and humidity levels, misting, dripping, numerous different feeder bugs, gut loading said bugs, supplements, cleaning and health issues…and you are thinking about getting another cham to add to the madness because they are just so incredible
Please feel free to add your own…
