[stubbsy18]

just looking at getting some sengal chams. already own som yemen chams, could do with some advice on how easy they are to handle and care for etc?

[the chameleon man]

ive just looked in the old chameleon bible and it says theyre care is pretty much the same....
They come from West Africa so if you go on BBC weather site and just get some average temps for some countries out that way and replicate that in your chameleons viv, same as humidity as the site tells you alot of info...
They aint sociable and the chance of breeding is good, same egg care as veilds
have fun..

with senegals it's all about the condition of them when you aquire them... i've had them thrive and others just fall apart... here i've seen so many senegals in shops and in my old shop that came in in very bad shape... it's very difficult to bring them back usually if they are dried up and weak. if you get a decent one with bright, full eyes, good color and healthy, it almost always takes to proper care. i've found them to like the humidity pretty much. i've just dealt with wild caught ones... it's criminal what happens to many of them...
