You never know where Carl may have ended up if you hadn’t adopted him! He’s so lucky to be taken care of by such a loving and passionate owner and the fact you feel sad he’s not in the wild is enough to prove how much you care for him! Just remember that he could’ve ended up with someone who didn’t care about him or look after him properly, and he’s so lucky you’re his owner ❤️

I know this petition is just about reptiles in specific chameleons, but everyone please stop buying animals just to satisfy you in any way. Because ANY animal that you are bringing home needs love, care, time, and patience. Don't just buy a pet out of impulse because you will make another living being suffer. I've seen so many animals on the streets or in shelters abused and neglected, that if you have a heart it will break it. I can't sign the petition because I don't live in the UK but I will take this to start one. -Thank you for bringing awareness into this matter. 🙏

You have a huge heart. You are educating people and that’s very important. “Pets” are living and intelligent beings.

Or find a RESPONSIBLE and good Breeder. Good breeder make it their priority to raise healthy animals and get them accustomed to human world in order for them to thrive. Also, breeders are important because they make exotic animals accessible to people so people are not catching wild animals from the wild. Responsible breeders also deeply care for their animals’ wellbeing and won’t just give their animals to anyone who wants them hence why exotic animals are expensive (to filter out impulse buyers and irresponsible people from purchasing their animals). Note that I said RESPONSIBLE and GOOD breeders. I have 50+ animals and all my animals came from reputable breeders or rescue animals. Chain pet stores are not good source to buy animals from.

The older I get the more uncomfortable I am with the way we keep animals and use them for entertainment. In so many cases the more knowledge you have on them the more you realize what they need and the more you realize they're not super happy being kept as pets most of the time or in a zoo :(

i bought a veiled chameleon last year in october and she’s right. The care is so stressful and draining. My chameleon passed away just a couple weeks ago, i only had her for a year and a couple weeks. I felt so much guilt while having her, for the same reasons. You imagine them thriving in the wild and it hurts knowing you’re taking away from that. I’d have literal nightmares of her. I know this was from guilt of having her and knowing i wasn’t giving proper care.

In my country getting a chameleon is illegal because having an exotic animal is not legal and i personally agree with that However if some countries do make it legal it should definitely require a licence as you said. You learned a lot from having Carl though i think it brought you a lot of knowledge, spread the word haha

i really wanted a chameleon but watching this completely changed my mind 100%, poor chameleons☹️

This video is so touching and actually sad, I teared up a bit with you. If he wasn't at a loving place like your home and was sold to you by a breeder anyway who raised him for profit, he would probably NEVER have been able to roam around and explore the world either way. At least you give him all the love and support and care you can, and that's worth hella lot. I don't even dare to imagine a different scenario of someone getting him "on a whim" and not taking care of him properly and not taking it as seriously as you. Thank you for making this video. I don't really ever want to have a reptile, since I know they are mostly high maintenance and I am high maintenance myself, girl. But this was very touching and informative. He is so lucky to have ended up in your home. Thank you for these videos and talking about Carl getting sick as well, it's very hard for most pet parents to admit that so openly. I haven't seen any other content of yours besides these two chameleon videos, but I'm giving you a like and sub to support you. Wish I could give you a hug rn... Also I used to have bunnies and those are prone to dying from stress too. So that's not a chameleon only thing. We all need to do more research and take care of our animals properly, since they are part of our family once they enter our homes and deserve a happy life.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and share this information with your audience. It is so, so important to make people aware of the background and the ins and outs of the pet trade and what goes into caring for animals. I 100% agree people should need a licence to "own" any pet. These are sentient beings and depend on us to protect and care for them

Thank you so much for this! It was very informative, and very responsible of you. My friend in college had a chameleon and a few other pets. He would always talk about the amount of time/effort he had to put into keeping his chameleon healthy and happy vs his several other pets. He also said he would never recommend them as pets to anyone, but he worked in a petco and would often sell them to regular people who thought it’d be an easy peasy pet. I think a license would be a smart idea not just in the UK but around the world!

I love how you're so passionate about this! I'm so happy that you're pursueing this career path ❤ we love carl & you take wonderful care of him 😊

Thank you for exposing this important issue! Hopefully this will make people think of how they get their “pets.”

I don’t own a reptile but I do have a dog and I often feel bad that I don’t have a huge garden for him to run around in or a huge house... but he was a rescue and 2 families thought he wasn’t good enough! He is the sweetest soul I have ever experienced in an animal and shows to much love and happiness to me and my partner. Yes he could living his best life with acres of land but I can’t give him that. What I can give him is daily walks in the local park, an infinite amount of cuddles and love and yummy food and plent of play and interaction and at the end of the day he’s much better off with us who adore him than someone who won’t appreciate or care for him properly. (This was way longer than I expected!) What I am trying to say is buy more plants for him to chill on and think how small he is compared to your flat... it will be pretty big and interesting to him! You You care and love him as much as you can so I’d say that’s plenty good enough!

Your doing your best with carl. Don't worry so much he has a good life with you. You've obviously have educated yourself so much in regards to giving him the best care possible. I can see how much you care about this,you will make a difference. Take care.

Chameleons are a very hard reptile to keep they need specific lighting a misting system. And daily interactions and feeding and they dont live very long compared to geckos and snakes.

i respect you so much for this, megan! lots of love

You're so smart and insightful. Thank you for putting this out there. A wonderful way to use your platform for awareness and conservation! ❤️

My god, you are an incredibly pure soul 🥰 thank you for sharing the honesty of the hardships of chameleons. I’m a huge reptile lover and it’s refreshing to see a genuine advocate. He’s lucky to be housed with you. You seem very well prepared and knowledgeable about his species. If only people all respected all types of animals like you do, we’d have a much better world.

I also think it’s cruel how people keep them in their housing all day instead of letting them spend a lot of time outside of the enclosure. My auntie had a Chameleon, it had an enclosure but also several big trees in the house that it could chill on during the day and would also go in the garden. She never got another one as she was extremely attached to him & also said she doesn’t believe they should be kept as pets, I guess it was an eye opening experience. Something I wish other people could see without experiencing owning one. I’m glad that you have posted an updated video informing people of the reality of keeping a Chameleon. It’s good to see that you take caring for Carl very seriously & showing such empathy for him - it’s a good thing that he ended up with you and not someone else. Thank you for creating this Petition, hopefully it will bring change. It makes me so sad to see people shut them in enclosures all day, there’s really no need for them to be subjected to such negligence.

I really loved this video Megan, this was so amazing. You really love Chameleons and people don't really understand their care. We built our Jackson's a 6ft x4ft screened enclosure and people thought we were doing "too much". Again, I really loved the info you put out there!

You can tell you've been studying Megan! That you're learning how to research something and make your argument based on evidence. (I don't mean that you couldn't/wouldn't have done that before, but academia has a very particular and recognisable research/thesis method I feel. :) ) I love it!

Looking out the window is good for him-passive stimulation is a way for him to get some of the environmental stimulation he would get in the wild. 💗

I found you while looking for makeup videos but totally subscribing because your heart is so big!! 💕

Mad respect for you, so I don't want you to feel bad. I came from watching your Chameleon take care guide, but my overall thought was 'that is some serious work I won't be up for, sure I would like the idea of having one as a pet but I'm not a consistent person'. So I'm sure there were others who thought the same. I love how you address this and not throw it under the bus. Keep up the good work! I'm glad Carl is happy and trusts his owner :)

Phenomenal video. The message is so important and no one seems to acknowledge this shit. Love you so much, keep it up girl. ❤️

I loved your video all about him, and I appreciate this video too. Both are so informative 👌🏻

You are such a sweet soul. This is important to see. Thank you 🙏

Made me tear up when you were talking about him just wanting to look out the window. He is lucky to have you :) Taking care of animals, especially as pets is one of the most stressful things. I wish I could sign your petition! I didn't know that about petitions and numbers of signatures in governments. Thank you for the educational video!

honestly I'm a little late to this video but I just wanted to say even though it is sad and sucks that he lives in that cage for his whole life you are still giving him a wonderful life and if you didn't have him he could have gone to someone who isn't going to give him as much care as you do. With or without you he would be living in captivity but at least with you he's so happy and healthy because you care for him!

Girl! Thank you so much for this video and for your amazing love and respect of animals! I've been obsessed with chameleons for years but your video has really helped me decide not to just go buy one because they are cute! I would be devastated if I got one and didn't care for it properly resulting in sickness or death! A lot of things I've read online make it seem like they arent as much work as they clearly are! Keep fighting the good fight and keeping people informed! Carl is so lucky to have you!

You are so sweet - I can see how much you love Carl and you are doing a great job giving him his best life. I have a ferret for our family, which is also another animal that can be rather hard to take care of due to their health problems. Even though he can't be outside, you give him a lot of attention and love, and that's awesome! xo

You’re becoming a beautiful spokesperson for animals Megan, keep going!

maybe reptiles but not animals, she literally said she will be getting KFC after filming this.... animals you eat also want to live

I literally just watched your video on giving tips on taking care of chameleons, and as much as I love them, I was annoyed and commented about leaving animals (especially chameleons & other wild animals) in their wild nature. I'm glad I then saw that you made this video. You shouldn't feel bad about having him now and I know you (and most people that get them as pets) are trying to give them the best life possible, but it doesn't change the fact that it's not their natural environment that they should be in. I'm really happy that you're educating people about this now, because at this point that's all you can do, as well as giving him the best life possible.

I love your passion for animals, you are an incredible person!

thank you🙏❤️️

Such an educational video Megan (thank God! cause the title made me scared about Carl)

Ur amazing! That education looks good on u girl!

You are SO sweet and I appreciate the empathy you feel towards chameleons.

How much you care almost brought me to tears haha. I’d never own one, especially after this video, but always thought they were very interesting and cute af. I learned a lot from this video and would’ve signed the petition if I could of. If I ever see one that I can sign(USA, Washington) I absolutely will. My 7year old(my profile picture haha) was a chameleon for Halloween this year haha. I’d post a picture of him in the costume if I could! Anyway, as every parent will tell you, when it comes to your babies, trust your gut. Always. You know when he’s sick and you kick it into mommy mode and take him to the vet and you are alway right. Carl is lucky he’s got you.

I fully understand you Megan. Every time i think about having a pet, these thoughts of not being the right person to take care of them really put me off... But sometimes pets are better off when people look after them sooo don't feel bad bc you do the best you can❤️
