Hi, I am Mike. I am a new veiled chameleon owner and have to say I wish I would have been on this website like 3 weeks ago. At that point, if you were to ask me what I know about chameleons I would have given a response like " its a color changing lizard, right?" Well, since then I have been prowling the internet for answers and education.
Last week my girl and I randomly decided to stop at a Pets mart to look around, basically because we were bored. Anyways, long story short, we were convinced to buy a veiled chameleon when we showed some interest into it. The sales woman sold me 300.00 worth of worthless items (glass tank, waterfall, substrate, water bowls, etc.)
When I got home and put our new pet in his cage, I was instantly attached. Such a neat little pet that we named rambo, however I am rethinking that considering my curiosity of his/her actual gender. Anyways, I decided to do some research and realized how poorly our setup was and that rambo was really being mistreated. A day later, I ditched the glass cage, got a larger screen terrarium, ditched the waterfall, and made a dripper, bought some live plants, UVB tube light and have learned a ton. Ive been glued to this website every since and learn so much every day. The chameleon looks to be doing well now, but I believe he was very mistreated at the store. Look forward to being an active member here with a ton of questions. hello all, and my apologies for such a long post!
