When choosing the cham, pick one that doesnt have any bruises/black marks and appears alert. Do not pick one that shuts its eyes frequently or if the eyes look sunken. There are many other things to watch out for, but these are the basics.
After recieving the chameleon get a fecal check done for any parasites and treat accordingly.
Make sure you offer the cham enough water to drink, and mist the enclosure thoroughly as they are usually a tad dehydrated after a long trip.

Buying a WC Cham

I am just Wondering if the chameleon would die from depression? or will they survive if cared for properly.

o ok how did he settle in his new home when you first got him?

i have bought a wild caught from flchams in the past. He will eat out of my hand sometimes now. They will be underweight because they are wild, you will have to take time to fatten him up. If your not ready to take time to milk his health from his rough wild life them dont buy one. This will be a wild florida caught not a yemen africa caught also, you probably wont come by a true yemen causght anymore. And you wont be able to pick the one you want. You just get what you get but talk to mike at flchams he is really dependable. If you really want a wild one go with flchams.

Well if you are buying WC from Fl chams and not from a fresh straight import then you should be fine but give it alot of good care. The guys at Fl chams would of already aclimated the chameleon, they wouldnt sell an unhealthy chameleon. Thats mostly of what I assume.

Yes the chameleon might be underweight but dont just feed him alot, jacksons are a montane species and they dont eat as much as a veiled or panther would, Im not sure exactly how much you should feed it though. But fresh imports will die if they are fed alot when they arrive.

What species are you looking at? Acclimation varies from species to species, but then varies from each individual. The reason why I am saying this is because some take a little more experience to acclimate because of how their environment has to be for a successful acclimation.

A meller's

The Meller's is not an easy species to bring in from the wild and expect it to do well IMHO. Some of them just don't adjust to life in captivity and will die fairly quickly.
