im picking up my new baby nxt week, any final advice?

[foxymiche]

hi all,

thanks for your help over the last week or so with chameleon questions..
ive managed to find myself a new baby today and am picking him up hopefully in a weeks time!

i have reserved a baby male yemen chameleon from a lady i found on a uk reptile site.
i have some good branches and fake plants to hang up, a spray bottle for misting, i have a flexarium on its way to me in the next few days (42x42x77cm) and today i bought a light unit. just need to buy a UV strip light now as the shop i tried today didnt have any. -also was wondering.. was planning on having the uv light standing up in the corner as ive seen in other flex's, do i need to cover it so the cham doesnt burn itself?-
i was told not to worry about a basking light for now as the lady doesnt have them in with her babies.

im going to go and get a bulb and wire in a thermostat though for when he gets a bit bigger.

im soooo excited. im travelling 170 mile round trip to get him

anything i have forgotten or need to know about having a baby cham?

thanks

I would of just have the UV ontop of the net, like my flex.

do you have a pic atall?

i wasnt sure where to put it in a flexarium but my local store had a long one in the corner. would be interested to see how you have yours set up as i havnt yet bought the bulb so need to know what length im going to need.

thanks

Im going to plant a pothos hanging in the back corner, thats why its quite empty.
And i put a table underneath so he is in my eyelevel, even higher.
