Chameleon Hour - Plants for the Chameleon Cage!

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Today I introduce you to my Parson's Chameleon host (but he doesn't stay long)! I also share what I learned from coming across a panther chameleon digging her egg laying hole in Madagascar. I talk about what species you should get involved with and shared the double pot method for putting plants in a chameleon cage.
The highlight of the show is an interview with Elizabeth Vasquez of Propagated Perfection who shares her knowledge on how to keep plants in the chameleon cage looking great. Elizabeth is also able to find large pothos and other plants that would do great to fill in the space for a new chameleon. You can check out her store via Instagram / theplantpedaler or by emailing her at propagatedperfection@gmail.com. Enjoy!

    I have been into houseplants so much recently and spent a lot of time taking care of them. Now I really want to get a chameleon myself and started to watch your content recently. It is truly helpful and brings me more confidence in having this new fantastic family member. Thank you so much for your dedication and work, Bill!

    What a great video, you have really inspired me a lot because I thought that my only option to start with chameleons was the Veiled Chameleon, before purchasing anything I am going to watch all the videos I can! Saludos desde España! 😊🦎🇪🇦

    That’s awesome, and yah really awesome to experience both a parsons laying and hatching in the same day.. and super insightful, especially having a female chameleon atm… because she’s still so young and wasnt okay going into a plastic container, she didn’t care how deep! Since she’s currently 5 months I’m not terribly worried, but she does have a second water dish filled with laying soil to mess with atm to try and get her use to it a little more.. prehaps knowing what the lay soil mix is kinda for will make her feel more comfortable with it when she does legitimately need a lay bin

    I am new to the channel and just came across this video. I'm curious where you had got Blue from? I had looked many years ago and was very disheartened to see that they were near impossible to find. I've looked off and on since then but all searches turn up only wild caught which as far as I was aware were not legal here in the US. If you know of ANY breeder in the US I would greatly appreciate the info.

    Legal exports have resumed from Madagascar. There are also more breeders producing captive hatched Parson’s for the community. You can check out chameleonforums.com where many of them announce availability.

    This will be a challenge because panthers are a larger species so hang out in larger plants. These plants/trees/bushes will not fit in the standard cage. It is a great exercise and fun project to get native Madagascar plants, but, if they fit in a standard chameleon cage, they wouldn’t be the types of plants a panther would normally be found in. It is an unfortunate side effect of us using the size cages we are.

    My question is, what about the chameleons that are thriving in Florida? I mean, does Florida have the same droughts as Madagascar? Does Florida have the same temperature drops as Madagascar? and what does that mean for the chameleon? I mean, they are thriving in the wild in a Completely different part of the world.

    A feral chameleon population shows the tolerance range of a chameleon and its ability to adapt. But there are similarities enough. What concerns you about feral populations?

    If Hawaii is producing brighter colors than the ones in Madagascar due to the lack of predators, I'm just wondering what that could mean for the chameleons in Florida. and what does that mean for breeders?

    @Chameleon Academy a study, published in Science Advances, shows Hawaiian chameleons display much brighter social signals than individuals from their native habitat range in East Africa-and could represent an example of rapid evolution.

    @@brandonraigner4861 good questions. Any answer would be speculation. Though note that the chameleons in Hawaii are Jackson’s Chameleons and their native country is Kenya. The panthers and Veiled sin Florida are going through their own changes due to inbreeding and survival pressures.
