Learn how to fight parasites with your day to day husbandry! Many of us do not realize our chameleon has parasites. In fact, if parasites are kept to a “natural” level, your chameleon will not get sick from them. But what keeps them under control even if you don’t know they are there? Your husbandry does! This infographic highlights the husbandry for parasite prevention. Now, parasites have learned to survive over millions of years in a forest so we shouldn’t fall into complacency thinking husbandry is the full solution. Do at least an annual fecal check and medicate if necessary! And learn about parasites so you can take the fight directly to them! This download is a excerpt from the handbook to the digital course “Hunting Microscopic Chameleon Parasites” which will give you a detailed understanding of parasites, the techniques for hunting them, and the methods for dealing with them.
