It kind of looks like a senegal to me, but I'm by no means an expert. I'm sure someone here can identify it with more certainty.

Is that a camra reflection I see? have you got that chameleon in a glass inclosure? thats a big NO NO for all chameleons except pigmy's. Please correct this before the chameleon develops health issues.

the whole of the top is mesh.still no good?

Jmorgan Aug 10, 2004 04:06 PM

not really.

I'd either make or buy a screen enclosure.. if your very good with wood at all.. a few 1x2s and some mesh and some screws and you can make a cage. Ebay also has some cages for sale.

But the screen helps, ya.. but it needs a full mesh cage... only a few breeds don't need a mesh cage.

THat is correct, at least 2 sides of the cage need to be screen or it can cause serious respritory problems that lead to death. Your little chameleon is very cute, I hope you do whats best for it and correct the housing soon.
