Hello.....First Post

[Winterhawk1960]

Hello, my name is Don Montgomery and I reside in Parkersburg, WV. I am somewhat of a "newbie" to owning a chameleon, but did own one back about 15 years or so ago. I got him from a breeder in California but can't remember exactly "where" it was.

I was very pleased with the ownership and he was thriving and doing well. We probably had him for about 5 years or so before his life was cut short due to a housefire that we had back in 1996. I am looking to own another Panther in the very near future and have already been in contact with a breeder and I'm going to get his cage all set up and then purchase my second chameleon.

I just wanted to say Hello........and thank the people that made and moderate this forum. I have been reading everything that I can find about these wonderful creatures. I'm kinda like the proverbial "sponge" and want to learn all that I can before delivery of our new chameleon.

I would ask that you would please excuse some of the "common knowledge" questions that I will most likely ask over the next few months. I just want to create a happy, healthy environment for our new pet.

Hi Don, welcome to our little band of lizard lovers. You will find lots of variety here, in chams, in knowledge, in people. But we are all here to help so ask the same one questions. We have a sufficient number of people the same one don't have to answer each time.

Thanks everyone, for the warm welcome.

Thanks for the link........David, I have already read it several times.

It will probably be at least another month before I get my new friend shipped to me, but that is fine..........I need to get the kit and have it all set-up and functioning properly.

I have quite a bit of experience with a variety of freshwater fish and exotic cat breeds. I have been wanting to get another Panther for about 15 years now..........and it is finally "time". I will continue to read and re-read and try my best to make our new pet a comfortable, safe and secure home.

Welcome! My husband and I purchased our first cham about a month ago and just recently bought a second. It's an addictive hobby and one clearly is never enough!
