Hello there!
I've spent 3 or four months being redirected to these forums after googling many questions I had about getting my first Veiled, and am very impressed with this community! Now after I have gotten him (still way too excited!) and have had some more questions that have popped up as a result of actually bringing him home, I've decided to actually sign up and be able to respond to some of the awesome threads on here!
So, here's to hoping I picked the right board to post this in!
I am a third year University student in British Columbia (BC), Canada and am owned by the tamest, chillest cat ever (I can clip his claws, give him dental gel... the whole shebang on my own), as well as several fish, a newt named Bubbles, an African dwarf frog, 2 gerbils, and, at last, my Veiled chameleon, who I have dubbed "Swatter" - after a joking conversation with my roommate about the fact that, in summer time, neither of us would have to kill spiders anymore, we would just set Swatter free. ;P Of course this was all in a joking manner! You gotta know what your reptile food has gotten into. But it was a good story that led to a name!
(As a disclaimer for those aquatic fanatics out there, all the aquatic species listed above are kept separate! Newts are territorial and the frickin frog is vicious. My fish are not with either of them!)
Super excited to cruize the forums and get to know some of you! The area I've already found most helpful is the FR section. I started with a DIY metal wire-mesh-cage thing, and then found it THE most annoying-est thing ever! After discovering that my Wesley (cat) has absolutely ZERO interest in the plant set up or the weird slow moving thing inside, I've transferred over to a small FR set up - all live plants and awesomeness!
Anyways, I'm sure more will be explained in other boards. But thank you to the staff for accepting me into this awesome community, and if anyone knows of any facebook groups or whatnot particularly in the BC area, let me know!! Im originally from AB, so I'm still pretty new to the connective world out here!
Cheers!
