Hi everybody
I would like to introduce my self, Ivan (38) and my little Veiled "Kevin" (he should be around 2/3 months)
I must thank you all inside the forum, for the great knowledge I was able to gain in one month of heavy lurking, Kevin is my first chameleon and this forum it's really a great resource for me and him.
I live in Sweden, even tough I'm from Italy. I always had and loved animals, and my philosophy of life with them was always to never go cheap and to keep them with the same consideration you have for your best friends (and may be more). Only the best for my innocents fellows.
Think like them, and they will be fine.
For this, since i decided to have a chameleon I started study my lesson, a full immersion, deeply and with passion.
Hope it will gives the best results with my little Kev.
For his first two weeks he's doing really fine, eating, drinking, roaming around, and all the rest, his colors also tell me he should be quite happy.
No handeling, he his my living art opera, like someone here wonderfully defined them. I don't care to play with him until I will watch him healthy. He will become aggressive ? i don't want an earth lion that looks like a puppy !
Some pictures of him and his screend enclosure (18x18x24 inches, will be upgraded in some months) ,no substrate, 3x lamps - uva/uvb 5.0 (21*c to 32*c) fogger (50/60 % h), manual mist 2x/day, daily calcium, weekly(or 2x) calcium multivit with d3. Only fresh veggies/fruits perma gut loaded crickets and some rare little and very soft shell mealworms as treat for now. Plants are fakes, too many issues with natural just right now. Hope to do better with his next enclosure.
Supply of insects here in south Sweden suck badly, wherever you go you just find crickets and mealworms. When you ask for silk or repti, super or phoenix, flyes etc etc, dealers normally stear at you like you were an alien.
Trying to find choices, then any suggestion about dealers/sellers/amateurs in this area who breed a wider selection of feeder insects is more then welcome.
Kevin learned fast to use is feeding box, so no insect lost in cage (at least for now).
Again thanks everybody to be such good hosts, hope to post only good news and good pictures during my "chameleon forums" life.
Kram (hug)
