Chameleons are not a good pet for everyone. Make sure you consider the pros and cons when deciding if they make a good pet for you. Remember, they require a lot of research, upfront costs, need an exotic reptile vet, take up large amounts of space, only eat live bugs, and are not pets that should be handled often or are very social in nature. If you’re still researching, be sure to check out my How to prepare for a chameleon video: th-cam.com/video/pyNbczMEfXA/w-d-xo.html and my top 5 videos for new keepers: th-cam.com/video/J_WYt6POoog/w-d-xo.html
I love how they do their own thing and you have to respect it, most other reptiles you can just take out to handle, chameleon has to agree to it. It feels more rewarding to have their trust and be blessed by their attention. They also are always aware of their surroundings unlike for example a leopard gecko when sometimes I can wave my hand in front of them and they don't react.
I totally agree and I love seeing the progress I’ve made with my chameleon. I’ve noticed that out of my whole family I’m the only one that she doesn’t have her guard up for. she’s only comfortable with me hand feeding her and handling her. It’s very rewarding
Thank you for the video! We just got our first ever veiled cham and I love sitting and watching him. I have had other reptiles but so far he's the most intriguing.
Thanks for this. I was hoping this would be 5 cool/unique things about chameleons, but maybe you already covered that in a previous video. Obvious choices are independent movement of eyes, coloring, tongue extension, unusual walking movement, and fused toes
I just introduced a fan for my chameleon and he absolutely loves it. It’s a small 1 foot roughly tall fan I place like 4 feet away. It’s great and healthy for the live plants for airflow and the movement in the wind is healthy for the plants. My chameleon loves to sleep directly in front and as close to the fan as he can find. Definitely recommend trying it out and I think it’s added enrichment for the chameleon too
Airflow is something that has become a popular topic in the chameleon hobby. More and more keepers are taking airflow into consideration when looking at their overall care.
ever since i heard of a chameleon I've been wanting one for a long time and I've never seen one or touched one so for whoever has or scene one irl I'm really jealous cause I love chameleons and I've been studying about them for a while now
How much should I be feeding my female veiled who just laid eggs and I think will be 1 yr old in less than a month? I’ve been feeding her 8 medium sized crickets every other day. And will diet end up changing again later on?
I live in Florida and i want doing research on Panther chameleons because I have been wanting one for the past 2 years now. But I don't really know what to feed it because dubia's are clearly prohibited so what would you recommend for me as like a primary feeder insect.
I feed crickets and grasshoppers as a primary feeder. Keep in mind crickets are smelly but if you keep them in a closed box with a few holes you'll be fine.
I feed mine crickets too. They’re high in protein but low in calcium. So definitely want to make sure to dust them with calcium powder. In my opinion they’re better than dubias because roaches creep me out more than crickets and also the crickets jump and climb around. So you can just dump them in and it’s fun for the chameleon to hunt them down.

Congrats on the new chameleon! Here is my video about not eating: th-cam.com/video/waCeIkQE1hw/w-d-xo.html I would also suggest you watch my advice for new chameleon keepers video: th-cam.com/video/VJj7rQX_mcM/w-d-xo.html and my top 5 videos for new keepers playlist: th-cam.com/video/J_WYt6POoog/w-d-xo.html
In the United States, “spastic” is used as a descriptive word, and not generally seen as offensive, whereas in the uk, it has become an insult and derogatory slur towards disabled individuals. It’s just a difference in dialogue and has never developed an offensive meaning in the US

So true . My green iguana is spastic ! But I know her body language. Soon, ❤ I'll know my chameleons personality too

That is awesome!

I’m not gonna stop messaging my mom about chameleons until she get me one
🤞
You look good😍
Thanks for the video !! Also, where did you get your plants/vines?
You're welcome! Here is my plant video: th-cam.com/video/oiKA30cm5-c/w-d-xo.html

I would recommend 3-4 bugs every 2-3 days at her age.
I have two questions would I be able to have a Chameleon I have school and can I keep my chameleon in a room with a fan?
Ayo have you seen my TikTok?
Great video!!!
Thank you!!
@@NeptunetheChameleon ofc
can you make a video on parsons chameleon care?
I probably will at some point but they’re not commonly kept or available so it’s a lower priority video for me to make.

My mom won’t get me a chemelion because I have a bearded dragon so I’ve tried convinceing her but she still says no
Hopefully one day!
I bought a baby chameleon from pet smart a couple of days ago and its not been eating. I am a little scared. Is there a way to help it eat?
Congrats on the new chameleon!

People ask me if my chameleon stinks when i say i have one 🥴. And you literally can’t smell him. But the bugs are STANKY
YESSSS 💯💯
Are bendable branches safe?
I would recommend using real branches. Here is my video about that: th-cam.com/video/QwMzM6Zuzpg/w-d-xo.html
They’re quiet lmao
Very true!
I think they're fine, just stay away from the green "moss" covered ones. The coating comes off quite easily.
Please don’t use the word “spastic”. It’s 2021. Thanks.
