Hi everyone! My husband and I recently brought home a 5 month only male Veiled Chameleon. The deal was that he got to decorate his enclosure to look like Yoda's swamp from Star Wars and I got to add the "monster in the swamp." LOL So now we have "George" and he is our first reptile.
Things are going pretty well so far...George was eating like a pig the first few days but has slowed a bit while he's shedding around his head, but I hear that's normal. Been doing the warm water misting to help that along. He's not drinking a lot but he was currently housed with an automatic mister so I have one of those arriving in the mail any day now.
I'm just here for all the inevitable questions I'm going to have. I read a lot about chams before we brought him home and another ton of info this past week. All the information (and a LOT of it conflicting) almost made my head explode and I almost got "cold feet," fearing I was going to be a bad mama and kill him in his first week! But I'm sticking with it, so I might have a lot of questions and thank you in advance! George will very much appreciate all your advice.
