Cool!
Monsters inc. fan? I ask because my green anole is named Randall...
From what I know, good ventilation and high humidity are a must. Glass is no good because reflections stress them out (they hate other chameleons).
They can eat a lot and get huge.

That’s aCtually where we got the name from???? thanks for the info. So it’s hard to “over feed”?

Green anoles are one of my favorite lizards mainly due to the dewlap. Now you two can have a Randall war lol.

Don’t know hardly anything about reptiles but I’m sure it’s relatively easy to over feed chameleons. If they eat a lot then they may eat too much than they can handle and then you got an obese lizard in your house lol.

I had a Jackson Chameleon when I was a teenager and remember it ate a Moth became ill and died.
Oh wow. Didn’t think it would be much of a big deal if something like that were to happen but it makes sense, you never know what disease or issues a wild insect may have and pass on to your pet

Don’t open a window. I’m sure you know but just no drastic temperature changes. That’ll easily kill ur chameleon. U leave the window in his room open for to long and you’ll see Randall like in the movie after boo gets a baseball bat.
