Reviewing PetSmart's chameleon care guide

[@maddihorrigan1936]

This video was SOOOO helpful! I'm currently an employee at PetSmart and I have always been big on making sure all animals get the proper care. I felt like there was so much I still didn't know so I have been researching all the different animals we sell to ensure I am providing our pet parents with the proper/best care information to ensure their pets live their best lives. I even have a tiny notebook full of all my notes about each animal and what they all need :)

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

Ah! That makes me so so happy to hear that 💚

[@makeajazznoiseYTstoleit]

I hope you are no longer a PetSmart employee, because selling people the "chameleon start kit" (which I'm sure you don't have a choice but to do) is like giving a death sentence to the chameleon they are buying.

[@angelicap6693]

Its sad how much petsmart employees lack knowledge on their pets that they sell, when i first got my cham there they recommended all the wrong things!! and i trusted their knowledge (ive done all my research now and my cham is healthy) because i would think they know their stuff.

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

Yeah that's the hardest part -- we want to trust them, but really it's on the owner to do their own research. It's unrealistic for a pet store employee to know the intricate care requirements for as many species of animals that they carry. That being said, they should still make sure their care guides are accurate and make sure they carry the products needed to keep these animals alive and healthy.

I definitely would not ask a petsmart employee about care for an animal. Definitely do your own research!

We made the bold move of keeping our 50-ish day old female Veiled Chameleon with our hermit crab. Within the first three days, she was found 3/4ths on the ground for the first time, testing the waters of the crabs’ salt pool… I was shocked, but let her do her thing. Made sure both pools were fresh and clean when she moved away from it. She seemed to know exactly what she was doing, and there hasn’t been any sort of conflict between the two species. I’m not worried.. 😌

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

I would not advise anyone cohabitate their chameleon with other species or other chameleons or have a body of water inside of the enclosure. That is putting a chameleon in a high-risk scenario that is not needed.

@@NeptunetheChameleon I guess that's true. But then again if we don't see what can and can't live together then we may never know. Sure it can be a bit stressful for the animals but how did we first discover some of the things we know now? Hermit crabs and chameleons together could be something keepers do in the future. Because some people keep reptiles successfully with land crabs like vampire crabs. Usually ones that don't go to the ground much.

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

I'd suggest cup feeding her for a few months. Jumping off is a defensive mechanism. The chameleon would rather jump off and risk whatever is waiting for them at the bottom then be held by you. It's not a good thing. You need to give her time to settle in before trying to interact with her and build up to hand feeding.

I have a(guessing) 5 month vieled I just got, bought the cage kit, hate it, too small immediately bought some silk vines and a couple live plants. Added sticks and a dripper. Anyway had some crickets in the cage and thought to put a couple pieces collard greens in the bottom to get crickets down off the top. He immediately climbed down and ate half of them. The next evening they were gone. And he ate on the creeping fig. Could hydration be the issue for eating veggies like that? He's somewhat dehydrated hard getting him to drink. Slight orange poo.

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

It's not uncommon for veileds to eat their plants. It's thought that they do this in the wild to help add some roughage to their mainly soft-bodied bug diet. But since we offer chameleons bugs with exoskeletons in captivity, this isn't something they require. It's just leftover instinct.

What if you set up a bioactive enclosure so you don't have a bare bottom? I know a ton about those (Not an expert just done tons of research and applied them to my only plant yes a plant not an animal) First prepare yourself a drainage layer that's about 3 inches deep using egg crate trays (the stuff that looks like a square grid that's used for aquariums) and some window screens this prevents substrate from getting into the drainage layer. Optional layer: LIGHT Activated charcoal layer (Dust Free) this is put underneath the substrate and helps it stay clean and healthy and is also good for springtails which are essentials for proper bioactive setups. Or mix a LIGHT amount in the substrate itself to much isn't healthy for the substrate. The Substrate Layer: The substrate needs to be light and drain very well but still hold moisture to be damp not wet. Soggy substrates leads to it being unhealthy causing bad smells and mold. There is a ton of recipes out there for very good substrates so your own research is necessary. But again the only thing I've taken care of is a plant so I do want to know your opinion on this because I do want to own a chameleon one day and if bioactive's are good for them.

Bioactive enclosures are a great option for chameleons. I've never set one up, so I can't really comment on the process you're suggesting. But I'll link this super helpful blog on how to set one up for a chameleon enclosure: www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/intro-to-bio-activity.2429/

It's great to hear you have a good relationship with your chams. It's mostly likely because they are looking for a mate. Males in particular like to come out to explore and look for a female.

you dont need to feed them fruits and veggies but they are a good treat

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

I would respectfully disagree with that, and say there are no known benefits to feeding your cham fruits or veggies, even as treats. If you have any documentation or resources that say otherwise, please share them :)

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

Better treats for a chameleon would be superworms, hornworms, and wax worms.

[@xxbubblybossxx8327]

@@NeptunetheChameleon well if you think about it of your chameleon was dehydrated you could feed them water melon as a treat and that would help

[@drhexagonapus]

There's so much conflicting info out there

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

That’s definitely true. I always say the hardest parts about keeping a chameleon is getting their enclosure set up right and knowing what care information to follow. A good rule of thumb is to make sure the person is able to explain WHY they are making the recommendations they are and to fact check them. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to help 💚

[@JesicaEssentials]

I have a question how did you know if your chameleon is blind.

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

What makes you think they are blind?

[@JesicaEssentials]

@@NeptunetheChameleon bec the eyes change color into like whitish but I could still see his pupil but too little. He can't see his food I have to help him eat

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

@@JesicaEssentials I’d suggest going to a vet ASAP.
