What your climate adds

This sheet states a range to hold. Your local climate decides how much work holding it is. Pick the nearest city: nothing is sent anywhere, the choice stays in this browser.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย EN

Is it easy to keep?

It is one of the cheaper chameleons but not one of the easiest, since most on the market are wild caught and arrive stressed and dehydrated. Ask us whether the animal is captive bred.

How does it drink?

Only from moving water, meaning droplets on leaves. You will need a dripper or a misting system, not a water bowl.

How long do they live?

Around five years, sometimes less for males. Chameleons are not long-lived pets.

Two in one cage?

No. Chameleons are solitary and will stress each other constantly, so one per cage.

Not stated: The heat sourcethis sheet names only the cool side: « cool 23-27 °C / night 22 °C »
Not stated: The size of the enclosurethis sheet states no size

Every line above is deduced from a value this sheet states, and names which one. Nothing here is a general recommendation. What the sheet does not state is listed too, rather than left out: a kit that looks complete is worse than one that names its gap.

What this sheet states

62%
TemperatureHumidityEnclosure sizeActivityOriginDietSourcesUVB

This sheet states 4 of 7 of the fields this product runs on. What is missing turns something off: enclosure size audit, day/night engine and awake count on the globe, the diet section. We show the gap rather than fill it with a plausible number.

UVB is measured but does not count: it is absent from 421 of 678 sheets, and on most of them that is not a gap, since a nocturnal snake's sheet has no reason to state a UV index. Counting it would call the library incomplete without cause.
