Hello all. I have been lurking here for a couple of months. I have kept reptiles for the last 15 years, but never chameleons. I intend to try my hand at panthers this year and am trying to gather any insights that I can to help me put together the best enclosure and conditions possible when the time comes.
I've been keeping tegus, monitors, a uro and a tortoise over the last 10 years. I also kept a GTP for a couple of years before I sold it this past September. My wife and I are now parents to 1 yr old, and I was no longer comfortable keeping tegus, pythons, and monitors in the house. All animals but the tortoise, a South African leopard, and the uro have been sold.
Chams started to grab my attention fairly recently. Other than their obviously fascinating appearance and mannerisms, I really like that they can be kept with live plants. I've always been a pretty hands-off keeper, so this also works well with chams.
Anyhow, I'm going about preparing for my first cham as methodically as possible and as slowly as necessary. I've set up thermometer/hygrometers around my reptile room, and have also bought a humidifier. I want everything to be in place when I purchase, as opposed to learning on the fly.
Looking forward to learning a lot here.
