**UPDATE** just posted a new video talking about the negatives of having them as pets, def check it out if you're considering getting one just so you're totally prepared! kzread.info/dash/bejne/fX-tuMqykcrMiZs.html also i completely forgot to add that vitamins are a SUPER important part of your chameleon's diet!! you should get a multivitamin and dust it over their food once every 2 weeks. the one i currently use is the 'zoomed reptivite (without d3)' also i've had a lot of questions from people confused on whether or not they should get a mesh or glass enclosure, and i'd say it mostly boils down to the humidity of where you live. so even though a place like las vegas gets really hot, the humidity is very low so you'd still want to get a glass enclosure vs in florida you'd get a mesh because it's very humid hope that sums it up! :)

@@vuunda2 Hi! I live in Arizona too, and while I don't own a chameleon, I do own a ball python. I'd get a glass terrarium because the humidity in my home is usually around 30-40% which is much too low for a BP or chameleon. If you cannot keep the humidity up with moss, EcoEarth, live plants, etc. I would recommend an auto-mist or drip system so you aren't spending most of your time misting the tank and stressing out your chameleon. A lot of people use mesh enclosures because chameleons like humidity but absolutely need high airflow. When mesh tanks are used, there is always both an auto-mister and drip system, all bioactive, you name it. The room its in is generally kept humid, not just the tank. So with a glass enclosure, you cannot cover the mesh top like you can with a snake or it could make the chameleon very sick. The size of tank depends on the type of chameleon, Megan said the perfect dimensions for different types at 10:20. Some may need a larger tank depending on how active they are and how big they get, but most don't.

I'm from Hawaii and just found a jackson's chameleon a couple days ago! They live at the higher elevations where it gets colder at night like where I live, so it makes sense since they're from a mountain region. I didn't know that! But they're super cute. I've had to move a couple before because sometimes they climb up our screen doors so I move them back to the trees.

Just got a Chameleon this weekend thanks for the video and advice exactly what I was looking for

I’ve had my chameleon for over three years now and my husbandry still isn’t the best- his colors are pretty dull but they’re not sickly (he used to be brown- he’s a panther chameleon) and I feel pretty bad. I live in Georgia (USA) and can’t get too much to help him out due to my mother (I’m 17 but still can’t drive or anything). I put him on vitamins almost a year ago and he’s recovered quite a bit- he’s still a strong chameleon that climbs a lot, loves crickets (and the occasional horn worm now), has an attitude and is pretty strong. He’s currently shedding, too. Wish I could do better for him but I don’t have the resources sadly- but I love him so much anyways. He doesn’t have to be super colorful and vibrant for me to love him anyways (he’s an odd color of traffic cone orange and green- it’s a weird mix, but he’s still a cutie). This video was quite informative still, dunno why I felt the need to comment but yeah.
