Don't worry... It only lasted a day. This is a Cape Dwarf Chameleon and apparently quite rare! After a bit of research and a phone call or two, I decided to take it back to where I found it...
Full spectrum lighting is essential... Sorry buddy, our wedding is taking ALL our money!
Plus...
You need to provide them with water by misting their enclosure 3 times a day... Nope, I am not even ready for children! (And I have a full time job!)
Plus...
They eat crickets, mealworms, wax worms, flies, silk worms, moths AND you need to dust the food items with calcium powder. You have to feed them by hand so you know that they are eating...
I don’t think I need to know any thing more than this “HOW NOT TO KILL MY CHAMELEON” tips...
Friday Libré and I visited the SPCA in Stellenbosch... that was a first –oh my goodness, what an experience!
Sad and emotionally overwhelming, but I strangely felt surrounded with love... Animal love. Obviously animals have a lot of love to share, but I guess I didn’t realize how unconditionally they share that precious love. Circumstance doesn’t determine whether they give love or not... That is the extremely sad part... Sad that there are people out there who find it so easy to abuse animals. And even though the poor little innocent bundles of love went through something horrible, their eyes are still filled with love without limit. Their eyes beg you to take them home just to be with someone they can love.
I really felt the need to take (another!) pet home, but I know that 2 dogs, 2 cats and a budgie is enough for now. Maybe I will change my mind in a week’s time... When it comes to me and animals, you never know... He he!
