Thinking about getting into chameleons..HELP

Agreed, live plants are just better and with Veileds you do run the risk that they may injest fake leaves by mistake.

Babies are really tiny, I put them in a 20 tall (just what I have on hand, you can use a 10) until I actually see them eat for at least 5 days after hatching then I move then 10 to a 38 gallon until 4 weeks old them sell them.

For a permanent house you still need to start small for a baby then get a larger cage with growth, Veields grow fast so you can usually use a 20 tall til 6-8 weeks then they need to me moved to a screen cane, the wire cages are better because crickets will eat holes in the mesh of the reptariums. For 1 male you could go with a 2x2x4.

They are very good at hunting and will stalk their food, I just prefer smaller settings for smaller chams to make sure they find it easier at first.

Try Duane, he almost always has Veileds for sale: thechameleonguy@comcast.net, I have purchased 10 lots from him several times and they have always done very well for me!

I will definately look him up when the time is rights. There are a lot of things to set up and it will take some time. More then anything, I want to be well prepared when I get my cham, instead of purchasing the cham and then piecing the equipment together. I hear that chams are sensitive and I would hate to kill the little bugger because I forgot to buy......
Anywho, you get the point.
