That really sucks, I give you my condolences. Screw that guy for lying to you like that..I can't believe somebody would do that, even as a joke.

I'm getting a boy either way, because I think females seem more high maintenance and they don't live as long. I've pretty much already decided on getting a veiled chameleon, since they're not as cost effective and they're better for beginners. OH, and thank you.

Will do. I've heard that misting systems aren't very effective and a couple live plans along with misting the enclosure manually two or three times a day will do. Our climate is dry in the winter, humid in the summer. (I'm in Michigan.)

Well, since I'm a beginner, I'm probably going to get a veiled chameleon. That seems to be the starter choice for most people, and it's not nearly as cost effective as a panther chameleon is. (Panther Chameleons on backwaterreptiles are 300 dollars!)

Will do. Can I trust the breeders there? I might get my chameleon there.

Yes, actually. I might be going to the expo on the 11th with my dad.

Well, my dad said "I used to have a chameleon" so I'm guessing he's aware of what we'll need for it. The chameleon would stay in my room (which is actually warmer than the rest of the house) and the insects would stay in our laundry room, which is in the back of the house.

Thank you for your concern, but I think I have the time. I don't really hang out with people outside of school, and when I'm away I'll have a family to take care of it for me. I'm going to a nearby community college once I get out of high school, so I won't be on a college campus.

Thanks for the response! I'll be sure to keep all of that in mind. It's a lot to take in, but I'm confident in myself and in my abilities to raise one of these guys.

I've had three reptiles before, but never a chameleon. I am 16 years old and this reptile would be under my care fully. I assisted in taking care of two box turtles and one ball python. I've been reading up on it, and it seems like a chameleon requires a lot of maintenance-but I'm ready for it...
