    Calling all experts! Tips on great starter species!

    I'll take your word about the reptibreeze, but what makes them suck? And I THINK I'm going to go for a Jackson's first, then a Veiled for my second, and then a Panther for my third if I think I'm really committed to Chameleons. And, uh... what's DIY?

    Thanks for the info. I will be feeding roaches which are already fed a specific high protein high nutrient roach chow, but can also feed them some veggies prior to feeding. I may do a mist king, depending on what my ambient humidity is after I add a room humidifier and mist by hand 3 times...

    I will someday. Heck, someday I'll get a Veiled too. I just don't have the funds right this moment to $325- $350 of lizards and then another couple hundred on caging. I'll have to spread it out. So now, experience wise, which would you recommend to a beginner first? A Jackson's or a...

    Stupid question.

    Yes, and if you put some in the bottom of your animals cage, it has a far fewer chance of being bit by a hungry feeder insect! Not stupid!

    I'll get a CB animal no matter what. All of my animals are CB, except for my Indonesian White's tree frog. It's so hard to choose between these two species! I posted the thread expecting to see "Veild!" all over the place and just wanting to consult some experienced collectors. It's exciting...

    If Panthers are easier to care for than Jackson's, then they just might work given both are equally show available.

    For now, I don't need a SUPER looking chameleon as much as I need the animal itself for educational use. Sure, pretty is great, but I would love practically priced for my first Chameleon. I know I'll end up getting a panther someday... they're so pretty.... I'm not saying that Panthers are...

    Thanks! Okay, the "Competition" is now between the Panther Chameleon, and the Jackson's! I've heard that the second is easier to care for because it requires a smaller set up and lower temperatures, making it easier to provide adequate humidity. Which species lives longer in general? And are...

    Thanks for the quick response! I already know of some of the different types of panthers available, and love the BB ambilobe. Expensive (not compared to some other Chameleons, of course,) but worth it. I will look into a panther for sure. Any other suggestions? You didn't even mention...

    I run the educational reptile business Scales Tails and Claws. During EVERY show, a child or adult will ask me if I have a chameleon, or even ask me if my iguanas are chameleons. Everybody loves chameleons! (Including me!) I would love to hear some of your expert opinions (You don't need...
