Oh how exciting! Chameleons are SUCH great pets! I have three right now, and they are SO AWESOME! I have two Senegals, very VERY sweet, like little puppy dogs. I also have a Jacksons, really cool looking, but just a hair more aggressive. Now there are Panther Chameleons, they to me can have some of the coolest colors and patterns, BUT I have heard that they can sometimes be more aggressive with YOU and each other. IF you do get more than one chameleon, you cannot mix two types of chameleons. As far as keeping them, one of my enclosures is like a 1.5 foot wide, and 3 feet tall screen cage. I took various fake foliage that comes in like a "rope" form, and string it throughout. Bottom line, they need all they can to climb on, and depending in the size of their hands, get something that they can comfortably fit their "hands" around. They need to access water and crickets or whatever food you choose, 24/7. I even mist mine throughout the day, but some people don't. They REALLY are great pets, and are SOOOO neat! Good luck, and feel free to email me for more info @ [e-mail]

Chams rather are not newbie reptiles. They are very fragile and require plenty of care and concentration. They have a small lifestyles span. I in my view have ever best owned veileds and their lifestyles span is four-6 years. They take such a lot element to caring for them. You'll have to do plenty of reasearch for your possess earlier than determining to get one. A ordinary main issue men and women have with chams is getting them to drink. They are very choosy drinkers, on the whole will best drink "rain" that falls onto leaves. They on the whole won't drink from a water dish. But thats simply an illustration, once more like I stated, I'd do plenty of study
