What NOT to buy for your chameleon

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Just because there is a picture of a chameleon on the box, does not mean you should get it for your chameleon. These are all things I would avoid buying for your chameleon.

    I work at a pet store and the main reason I started working there was because I was so tired of how much false information on animals went on in the store, I am now the head of the petcare department and we have ditched the packets the send us and I have instructions for each animal and their care down to the last detail and we print them and give them to the customer for them. I have a lot of people now coming in and showing me photos of their reptiles to show me how good they’re doing and how much they’re loving them and it makes me so happy to see :)

    This makes me so, so, so happy to hear! Thank you for doing what is best for these animals. If you’re looking for someone to review the care sheet you’ve made for a chameleon, I’d be happy to take a look and provide any feedback. Keep being awesome 👍🏻

    Neptune the Chameleon I’ll send it to you through an Instagram DM and for a night light I use a low wattage ceramic heat bulb! Doesn’t produce the light but still provides him heat which he does need a little more of at night in my home!

    Same! My boyfriend had a chameleon before, that passed away due to an infected foot from losing a nail. The vet gave him a shot, but sadly he still died the next day. Anyways, we (mostly I because I’m the one who goes all out to take care of him) got a 3 year old male veiled chameleon from this girl who was basically on bed rest for two years after an injury and got him, but she’s starting school and wanted someone who had time to give him what he needs. Anyways, she gave me so much info since he’s my first, and he came with his WHOLE enclosure, vitamins, lights, misting, all that. However, I started doing a bunch of research Bc some days he’d look very pale. I also noticed random little white spots in places on him that are like, flaky. Almost like patches of peeling. His back feet also started to peel then I realized it was because his ankles were swelling!! I messaged her asking for answers on how to care for him Bc the internet scared me. She said those things were normal for him. Some days he was happy and bright, others pale and almost seeming sad or sick. She got him when he was already 1. I originally felt better based of what she said and my research, but furthering it, I’m now scared again. He’s had that double light since she got him, only fake plants in his cage, a two bug diet one of them being the worms, the vitamins that were NOT recommended, and I noticed he only hand feeds and even hand waters. I have to hand mist around him for a bit then he will come drink from the nozzle. Im officially worried about the little guy. 😔 I clearly need to redo everything about his environment. But with that being said. I still have some questions. I tried to get his exact schedule from her for feeding, misting, lighting, ect., but she said he didn’t really have one. So I’m sure he’s been stressed with the move and lack of scheduling. Also concerned be that all those things she said are normal for him, but when given the vitamins the back ankle swelling will go down. But they’re the vitamins in this video 😅 so I’m not wanting to continue that, but I’m unsure of a better way as of now. She’s also never taken him to a vet. I’d also like a recommendation on the best place to put his enclosure. Which is a 5ft tall 3ft wide screened enclosure. I didn’t intend for this much info to be dropped on your comment 😂 I was originally trying to basically just say SAME to having knowledge of all the wrong stuff. But I get worked up thinking about all that could be wrong 😅 so if you have any advice on how you guys handled your new baby! Or maybe someone will see this and be able to help. I’m just really wanting him to be okay. 🥲💖

I've only used pothos, tradescantia aka wandering Jew, and peacock moss (selaginella). Also ferns... but i doubt my Pygmy chameleons ever ate any. At least not in my presence. But, can chameleons' systems digest ANY plant? What are some unsafe species?

    I purchased two items that she mentioned in this video. The Chameleon kit and the Jungle Vine. I am wanting to get a chameleon soon because I have never had a reptile as a pet. I wish I would have known about all of this stuff before I bought the items. I could have saved myself some money.

I was mostly trying to make it a more realistic environment. (Taking it out now though. Why risk it plus, the bathroom was too quite anyways) Thanks for the wonderful care advice ❤

    It's not a matter of a chameleon not liking it. They will climb on anything they can. The issue is the hammock is made out of a material that can rip out their nails, grow bacteria, and is not something that is natural for chameleons to climb on. Adding in more branches and plants for coverage where the hammock is, is definitely the safer way to go.

    Neptune the Chameleon I have my cage stocked full of bamboo sticks along with hibiscus plant and she prefers the hammock still, not sure how it can grow bacteria I use mine as a partial basking spot and yet to have any issues, I would suggest finding a balance and if there was worries about nail ripping the cage itself could do that but thanks I’ll keep it in mind

    All lights should be off, and they don't need a heat source at night. They benefit from a drop in temp at night. Here is my video on what bugs to feed: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a3Z11ZSIo5S-fps.html. Just avoid hornworms until they are older.
