Hello all, I went to my local Pet Store today to buy rats for my boa. While I was there I saw they had some new born Jackson's chameleons so I asked the salesman about them. He said they were born Tuesday to a female they had in the shop. He admitted he dint know much about chameleons especially baby's and that he didn't think they would live, at that point he began soaking them with a spray bottle. I didn't think much of this until I came home and read on the internet that you shouldn't soak them because it can drown them. Also the enclosure was very large and it looked like they were having a hard time finding food, half looked thin as if they hadn't ate and all of them were very dark as if they were stressed. I have always wanted to have a chameleon as a pet and I have studied them so I know the challenges so I am thinking of trying to raise one of these babies before the pet shop kills them. I have a food supply, pinhead crickets. What I don't know is how to set up a baby enclosure meaning size, heating, and light. The little guys are only 1" or less so what advice can anyone with experience with baby's give me on there care, please I need help. Thanks, NCSean
