Scientific name: Bradypodion Fischeri
Fisher’s Chameleons are greenish-yellow but, like all chameleons, they can change color. They will grow up to 9-11 inches long. These lizards can live up to 6-8 years if taken care of properly. Since they are fairly easy to care for, they make a good lizard for beginner reptile owners.
This species is native to the rainforests of East Africa.
These lizards do well with sand or sand/gravel mix as a substrate. Be sure to put enough plants, rocks, and wood in the tank for your lizard to hide in and climb on. These lizards love to climb.
One adult Fisher’s Chameleon needs a screen cage and are best kept solitary.
A comfortable temperature for these lizards is around 72-85º F during the day with a slight drop at night. LEDs or other low-wattage light bulbs work best for maintaining these temperatures.
They like humid environments, you should spray the cage often with a mister.
Fisher’s Chameleons will feed on small crickets, fruit flies, mealworms, wax worms, and any other insect small enough for them to ingest. It is recommended that food be dusted with calcium to prevent bone softening.
Chameleons have the usual needs for vitamin D3 but in addition to this they need large amounts of vitamin A. Herptivite or Flukers are vitamins made especially for reptiles. Herptivites brand has no vitamin A but instead it contains Beta Carotein wich can be turned into vitamin A if needed.
Water can be supplied in two ways. The first way to supply it is to mist the cage once or twice a day and the second way is to supply a drip system to the chameleons cage.
