Welcome to the forum, from one newbie to another

I am new here too but Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your new little guy!

Thank You Jessica (I almost named my daughter Jessica!) Yes, just to watch them be so fascinated watching him was great! Today is our third day with him! Yesterday morning I went in to check on him and didn't see him, so I left for a bit figuring he was in the plants hiding. Came back...

Actually someone did notice it and as I mentioned earlier, the bowl at the bottom has NO water in it. My kids were NOT poking at the cage. It was the first time they have EVER seen a chameleon eat in person so they were pointing at him and watching. My kids know how to respect animals, as they...

The red one was what I already had here from brooding some chicks, but I plan on getting a regular bulb as soon as I can. Man, once he is in that Pothos, he is so hard to find!!! Seems like he likes it!

Thank you everyone! You all are so welcoming! That is a tank topper on top of a 20 Long. They are made by Pointer Hill and come in sizes for 10 gallon up to 55 gallon. Here is the link to the Pointer Hill website...

Thank you sallyb! We are already enjoying him so much!! He seems so content in there and seems very comfortable!

Ok! I have the Reptisun 5.0 linear UVB in there and a dome light with a 60 watt red bulb for basking (It was what I had here, we will get a new one later) As far as the supplements go, we got the Repcal Phosphorus Free Calcium with D3, Repcal Herptivite and Repcal Calcium without D3 ...

The shiny thing is a feeder cup. He ate out of it yesterday with no problems (a good 4 crickets), but seems to prefer going down to the bottom to hunt. I offered both this morning and he had no interest in the cup bu i am sure if I give him no other option, he would because he has. There is...

I was just reading some more and I think I am going to find some plants to hang down over the back and sides so he can't see his reflection at the bottom. He stays at the top but seems to like to feed at the bottom. Any other changes I should make?

Ooohh...ok...sorry :p

Here is a link that someone here had given me a few days ago...GREAT info! http://raisingkittytheveiledchameleon.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2007-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&updated-max=2008-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=11

Why Thank you! Yeah, we'll figure it out, but then again, that's why I am on here :rolleyes: He has had several names throughout the day today, but my son hasn't settled on one yet. I am very happy with him, he has already eaten and was drinking....all within about 15 minutes of being in...

Well, I at least wanted something on the bottom just in case he were to fall or something. Right now we are going to feed him in 2 feedings, 4 crickets in the am, 4 in the pm. The crickets have their own place, so the 1 or 2 that may end up on the bottom, wont be there for long! I don't...

No, the bowl is empty..it is holding down the carpet...lol! Looks only I guess..hahaha! ETA- He has a drip system and I am planning on misting too!
