>>>I went in and talked to my chameleon guy last night. He was quite mad at me. haha. He said that he has been raising Chams for 40 years now and has never even had so much as a sick cham. He knows what he is doing.
I have my doubts about that. I don't they have been coming into the states for that long! That would have been 1965??? I think not. I would not really trust this guy - jsut my opinion.
>>>...when I set the tank up last night ...
is it another tank - as in glass - or a cage (screen?)
>>>Lele, yes I meant calcium with vit D. I don't know what I was thinking putting vit C, maybe because I was drinking OJ. I don't know. haha.
I hear ya! I was a bartender (in a previous life) and whoever I was talking to always got the change in my hand - whether it was theirs or not! It was before multi-tasking was cool and had rules! lol!
>>He is having a great time chasing his crickets around as I dump them into his tree and he eats them all up happily. The new home is just the right size for him and I was told it will last him his lifetime.
>>>Also I should have said resting instead of sleeping.
OK. you had me worried there!
>>>NOTE - It was a very rouch night for me and Charlie last night. I was sitting with him outside and most likely because of his lack of space inside he took off into a HUGE bush we have. It took me, my parents and my neighbor to find him. It took an hour and boy was he angry when we got him out. I have been watching him closely since then. he has eaten, drank and pooped so hopefully he is ok.
You can always count on that eat/drink/poop combo to know your cham is OK! lol! On a serious note... please be VERY careful outside. There was a guy on this forum who witnessed a bird take his chameleon! He "...looked away just for a second..." it was heartbreaking  Others have had near misses and some have not been able to find their cham again. If I have Luna outside and not in a cage I never let her out of my site - not for one second. A cham will naturally want to be in some foilage so rather than wait until he finds some, try placing him in a shrub or small tree that YOU CAN REACH ANY PART OF and then let him wander aorund in it. But do not take your eyes of him. Chams can move unsually fast given their (seemingly) rather sedentary life. Luna has a favorite small tree that produces red berries in the fall (she loves red food). But keep in mind, if you do place him in a tree that has fruit be sure you know what the fruit is and whether it will be harmful to him. If you are not sure - find another tree
