Chameleons as Pets, Anyone?
A much easier pet to care for, compared to dogs, they say.
Chameleons do not make any noise. They are not smelly, and at this size, they eat about 3 crickets/day.
They can live up to 8 years.
This is a Panther Chameleon, btw.
Starts from Rp 8.000.000 (8 million rupiah).
Keen?
Personally, I often pity such “beautiful” creatures.
I mean, animals born with beautiful colours/patterns are often taken away from their natural habitats and sold as pets.
Beautiful birds are captured, and then caged or chained.
They can no longer fly freely.
As a kid, I used to have pet birds, 4-5 birds. They were caged.
When they died, one by one, I remember thinking how birds really should NOT be kept in cages (well, unless I have an aviary and they can fly around freely, but still within a limited space at home, hehe).
Anyway.
I do hope, before getting a pet, whatever it may be, everyone really considers:
– the time and energy needed to care for it
– the “place” where the pet will be kept, whatever creature it is
– equipping self with more knowledge on how to care for the pet properly
Anything else you may want to add to the list?
