- As a chameleon owner, I often get asked if chameleons make good pets! unfortunately there isn't a simple answer to this question as it depends on what you're looking for in a pet. In this video I discuss what it's like to own a chameleon and some pros and cons of them to help you decide if a chameleon is the right pet for you!

Your so passionate about chameleons! It truly shows in this video!😊
Out of all your videos I love the ones about chameleons the most so I'm thrilled to see the next video already! Super awesome that you decided to make a small series on them. You talk and handle the care of your chameleons so well that you truly are an inspiration to me. ♥
This is the most wonderful vid addressing the question of a potential animal ownership I've ever seen,, about any animal and by any person! Emma's vids are SO fun, pleasant and informative. I find myself smiling repeatedly while watching her. GOD i wish I had her energy (and knowledge and outgoing personality)! Thank you :)
ive been thinking about getting a chameleon for SO long (it would still be a while before id ever be able to get one). although i've been doing research for months already, i really value your opinion as a pet owner (specifically chameleons) and i'm so excited for this series because i think it will be very helpful for me and making the decision if i think a chameleon is right for me:) i love your videos!!!
ps we have the same birthday, happy virgo season!! #virgang #jennamarblesreference
I’ll have lots of videos about them this month for sure!! Hopefully they help :)
Thank you for that informative video. This makes my decision clear that I don’t want a chameleon. The most important thing for me is handling
Luv the beautiful chameleon footage❤️😍😁
I also love how honest you are about them
I love u so much u inspire me so much keep up the great content 😀
Great video! I’m looking forward to the rest of this series!
Thank you!
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL! I plan on getting one sometime next year! So I have been doing a lot of research. Thank you! 😊
shut up
OMG😂when she said “...to start of this series” Siri thought I was talking to her!!😂😂💘Love you Emma!!!
You Rock Emma love watching your videos with your amazing reptiles you have
You always have great videos including so much valuable info ration. Just adopted my first veiled. Named him Morpheus! I will for sure watch all your cham videos!
Thank you!! I should have lots of chameleon videos coming this month :)
Hello! I’m a chameleon owner and I would also like to add that if you purchase a female please keep in mind that they can store speak for up to 12 months and can have babies every three months for two years! I saved a female Jackson chameleon from pet co and wasn’t aware she was carrying and now we have babies! Always be prepared! We had to scramble to buy a new cage and plants and fruit flies! If it wasn’t for Emma and Tyler ruggue I would have been lost!
Omg it’s so adorable I can’t. It has such cute eyes that roll around .. soooooo cute
Thank you so much this helped!!! Because I want to get a pet Chameleon but I’ve never had a reptile pet and I’m only 13 and my parents want me to do this on my own so it’s gonna be hard but I’m gonna try
Wow!!! You should be a chameleon Herp vet!!! You sound very passionate about them!
Very good information!
Lol so there are literally like 4 videos on the tubes about chameleons and so excited for morw
On fl Chams they have complete chameleon setups and 3 different sizes for what chameleon u have or wanna get with the most expensive one being 300$ for a 4x2x2 :)
Exotic pets are really, in general, not for everyone. I keep only kind of 'easy' species (hognose, ball python, kingsnake, northern blue tongue skink) and still their care can get kind of time consuming/taxing. Not only the time to actually care for them, but keeping up to date on research on what is the best care for them, making backups for your backups in case of emergency because they aren't quite as easy to evacuate from homes as are cats/dogs/ect, even going on trips can become a bit of a headache because not only does the person have to be willing to care for your pet (not always easy in the case of snakes), but also you have to teach them and make them knowledgeable enough to handle it.
I love my reptiles, wouldn't trade 'em for anything, but there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff many don't think about when they consider getting one.
You make them sound so majestic 😆
My dream herp would be either a Pygmy Chameleon or a Carpet Chameleon.
Great video also !
I love chameleons!
I have a chameleon. I adore him ! Will be adding a panther chameleon in the near future !
Crystal Marpoe do you ever take him out to play
@@bellac6402 I do take my adult male out from time to time. Only if he wants to. I love holding him and hugging him. He runs up and down the back of the couch. Lol. I do not force him to come out. If he wants to awesome! If he doesn't that's fine to.
Wow I’m in the first 15 comments cool yet I know no one will se this but still have a great day/night life in general
Great content! Subbed :)
I love chameleons!! 😍
I looovveee chamilions but i dont know if i would ever be abile to have a chamilion and i already have 3 creasted geckos
They are a look at but don't touch/handle "pet".
I agree but it depends on the chameleon
Well i am hella touchy
I have a veiled chameleon and he is a juvenile and he has been suck a perfect pet for me
Dayly uploads 🤔🤔
Only joking Emma your doing amazing!!!!
How often in advance should you prep your enclosure and stuff before you get the chameleon and introduce it to the house?does it even matter as long as you have everything? Thanks.
I’ve been doing so much research on these 2 pets over a year but I don’t know what one I want a chameleon or a rabbit which should I get
When she uses your question* holy cow
I really would like a chameleon but I'm scared I might not be able to do certain things because I'm always so busy. And, I feel like it would affect my future because when I eventually get to college I won't be able to take it with me and my mom keeps saying she would always be there for me but I'm just not sure anymore if I should get one. I'm really stuck and I don't know what to do, what do you think?
I love chameleons
Do they make great pets for 10 year olds? My daughter wants one and also do they waste the house energy? If they do is it expensive?
You can really tell how passionate you are about chameleons in this video
I have had a alagator lizard and passed away and now I’m thinking of a red eared slider turtle or a one of these ones 🦎
Hey Emma Ik this is off topic from the chameleon video but is there any tips for a future leopard gecko owner
This is not a question about chameleons but about blue tonque skinks when you Give them weat dog food do you still need to Give them fruit and greens or not
Yes giving them some greens and a small amount of fruit is best
Hey, I’m thinking of getting a chameleon but after watching this video I’m not sure if it is the best pet for me because of them getting stressed easily because I would want to hold it. I was wondering if they would get stressed by me just letting it climb on me and stuff while I’m sitting in bed or something. I wouldn’t want to carry it around but I would let it climb on its own. Wound that stress it out or not?
If you’re looking for a reptile that you’d like to hold, I probably wouldn’t get a chameleon. They are better as display animals. You may prefer something like a bearded dragon or some type of gecko!
Where did u buy it?? I live in Canada as well. I really hope u can answer. Keeping my fingers crossed
Is it safe to put painted rocks in the enclosure?
Great Video
I swear
First you had Pascal, then George, then he passed, and the Felix and Fiona, and now 2 more!?!
*HINEYI CAN'T KEEP UP*
It may seem quick, but it’s not as quick as it seems 😅 I actually purchased Felix and Fiona months ago, even before George had passed. I just didn’t talk about them or show them for a while as I was just enjoying them to myself for a while!
@@EmmaLynneSampson That's pretty smart of you. I guess it's always good to make sure that they are happy and healthy before putting them in front of a camera 😂
I only have 3 toads but I invested in breeding my feeders b/c the weekly cost of insects can get daunting. I dunno how you do it lmao
And also love your videos
early!!
Good interesting video . They are pretty pricey in Arkansas at the pet places anyway . They are pretty Kool . But for me at this time not one that I have time for . My Leo's though they work great because I work a evening shift so I am up at night late so I turn out the lights and have a small red light so I can watch them and it's so Kool to watch mine hunt and stuff. I have a few nocturnal specias of animals and I can watch them all while drinking coffee and on u tube . Any way enjoyed the video first one I watched from you . 👍👍👍👍👍
Just a suggestion, but I would definitely get rid of the red light! It’s a myth that reptiles don’t see red light. They can 100% still see it as visible light so it can be damaging on their eyes and also distrust their sleep patterns :)
Thank you . I only use it when I want to watch them . For a few hours at night and not every night . It's off the rest of the time so the room is dark . And the sun lights it up in the morning and I leave a light on for 12 hours a day just a room light not over them . But thanks I appreciate you responding .
Hey emma I have a question for my baby veilded chameleon, can they drink from tap water from the sink? Or does it have to be spring water? Please answer cause I'm really confused and need of help, thanks
Tap water is fine but it should be conditioned. I use reptisafe to condition my water. If you don’t have conditioner, then it should be spring water
@@EmmaLynneSampson thank you so much! And thank you for the amazing content you create!🙌👍😁
I loved my veiled cham but they really dont like being seen. I accidentally killed mine by feeding it a big silk worm that was too big for it to crush its head so it died days later :(
It wouldn’t have been the silkworm that killed him... it’s myth that insects can chew through them. As soon as an insect reaches their stomach the acid kills them immediately. The death would be completely unrelated to the silkworm
I here ya Ms.Sampson :), I just discovered your channel tonite btw 🤘... Its just that the worm was the last thing he ate before he died a week later :( my other conclusion is impaction from the worm because my night temp was too low for it to digest it was during the winter, either way no more chams for me. They def are a joy to feed and observe.
Crunchy Pb I honestly don’t think it has anything to do with the worm, especially a week later. Night time temps aren’t an issue. Chameleons can tolerate temperatures in the 40s. If it had to do with what he ate, it would likely have been within hours after eating
where did you get your parsons chameleons from?
Chameleons Canada
I have panther babies available if you are interested in adding one to your home :)
🖤🖤🖤
The whole handling thing goes for every reptile.can you grab and play with a certain reptile, sure should you probably not. I'm not saying you cant but it does stress every species out no matter what you think yours likes it would rather be left alone. If you want a animal you can handle get a mammal
What do you think of chameleons who choose to seek out their owners specifically, regardless of the situation?
It depends on the situation, because often times it’s a time of stress. Some people think they’re chameleon climbing on them means they enjoy it, but usually it’s them attempting to to escape by climbing up high. Same goes for chameleons who “want” to come out if their cage. Usually this means they’re stressed inside their cage. In my experience, a truly happy chameleon will never seek our attention from their owner
Emma Lynne Sampson thank you!
Just subscribed to your channel
Me: i want a chameleon
my mom: you have fish...
me: chameleon!
mom: you cant even fix your bed and clean your fish tank
me: thats because you say you don’t want help
I love you please do more video on mice I have 3 and I love them I bet you won’t reply but I hope you do 💖
Thank you! I don’t have mice anymore so unfortunately I won’t be doing any more mice videos
I believe they make good pets cause they help you with fly problems
Any idea on why my young crested gecko is being aggressive ?
My was like that. They usually grow out of it. It could be hormonal. I think it breeding season.
Kasandra Carrion my baby crested gecko bit me once, lol. Do you feed live insects? Sometimes when they are aggressive insect feeders they see any kind of movement as a meal! ☺️
1400 hundred for a vet bill!? I thought Canada 🇨🇦 has free healthcare. J o k e

How many chameleons do you have?
5
Yayayayay I have a baby veilded
How many chameleons do you have??
5
@@EmmaLynneSampson wait so a vieled chamelion and 2 giant chameleons that I can't think of the species right now
What else??
Ben Carroll 1 veiled, 2 parsons and 2 furcifer verrucosus. The verrucosus are fairly new so they haven’t been seen yet besides a few clips in their video :)
@@EmmaLynneSampson wow I knew I saw an animal I didn't recognise theyer beautiful!!!
My juvenile veil loves being in and out of his cage. I’ve handled him since he was a baby and he loves it. He is bright green inside and outside his enclosure. When he sees me walk into my room we runs to the front of his cage to be held and reaches for my face and my hair and turns bright green from a pale green. I have watched him in his enclosure and re done his enclosure to ensure his needs and wants. I have only had one chameleon but it very well enjoys being held and in his enclosure.
Bright green isn’t a good sign. They will display bright colours when stressed. If your chameleon is eager to get out of his cage, it likely means that he is stressed inside of it
9th comment also love dis video
I had a a chameleon but it died because I was abusing it because I didn't know how to take care of it right it was in a class tank I am just really sorry I am going research next time I am getting a animal
animal beasties Im sorry you lost your chameleon, but I keep mine in glass for better humidity where I live. I used to keep mine in screen and had a lot of problems. Glass isn’t always a bad thing as long as you know what you’re doing with ventilation. 😊
Three species? Don’t you only own two species of chameleon right now? Veiled and Parsons?
And furcifer verrucosus. They’re newer so haven’t been shown on my channel much
Emma Lynne Sampson ohhh ok I just didn’t remember seeing that species in your all your pets video!
I love chameleons I mean look at my user name lol
First
So negative about everything
