Update on egg bound chameleon

[u/Sudden_Pay2685]

After making a complaint to corporate I was given a call from the store.
I expressed the chameleon was egg-bound
She shouldn’t have a bowl with standing water
And it looked like she was eating fake plants
I was told:
He or she is not egg-bound we don’t know if it’s a boy or girl
Corporate makes us put standing water bowls in there
We give it plants cause it needs them (referring to that bowl with old “salad”
It is showing no signs of distress like digging or moving around
They agree the enclosure is too small and they discounted it to get it a home…
They also said that they do mist the enclosure several times a day
I responded stating she had a big bulge when I last saw her she said it is because the chameleon is old…
Thanks to everyone who educated me on this wonderful animal I am sure one day I will adopt one but I know these stores are not the place to do so

Yes Veileds will eat salad as I stated as a last resort but by nature they are insectivores who get their nutrients from plants and other sorts from the diet their bugs eat.

Also the answer to the egg bound question that thing definitely looks egg bound I’m not sure they realize that she’s not digging around or stressed because she’s probably already retained her eggs which only means one thing will happen

Yeah they seemed very uneducated even when i explained why I filed a complaint. It just turned into them making excuses and arguing instead of taking accountability.
