"ok so i never considered getting a reptile for a pet as im more of a cat/dog traditional type person..."
And so the addiction begins!:rolleyes:
You are an angel for taking the effort of rescuing this poor creature. Now begins the worry and work.

Hi Erinsangels!
Judging by the fact you are from Scotland it's probably safe to assume you are using a glass enclosure, not the full screens the people in America use (for the most part).
If that is the case, is the bottom glass? Are you using substrate? Any chance of posting a photo of your...
We'll be there.
Just to look.
Don't need any more right now.
Just gonna have a little peek at what's there.
Maybe check out Harry's booth (Chromachameleons) but STRICTLY out of curiosity, because we can't fit anyone else here.
Just going to look.
That extra cage I built is for...
Nice cham, nice cage! Need LOTS more greenery (get what Julirs said and you can't go wrong)
Chameleons are not known for their hearing BUT there is a belief they communicate with vibrations. That being said, maybe you should make sure the TV isn't too loud (or better yet, use extension...

Dumb question but are they sharing a cage?
Even if the girl had issues when you got her, it would be a good idea to answer these questions to head off future problems!

Hate to sound crude but a major consideration is money. Make sure you know how expensive chameleon keeping can be AFTER the initial outlay for your baby and it's stuff.
Be aware at some point you likely WILL need at least one trip to a reptile vet. If you don't think you can afford that (you'd...
That's a beautiful herd! Welcome and enjoy the forum. (don't forget to answer the questions, the senior keepers may notice something which may save some heartache)
