Read this....it is the most comprehensive written instruction on all the things your cham will need. It includes everything! It is recommended to all newbies that come and need some general information.

Here is another excellent site for care info (the focus is on panthers but the care should apply to most chams as far as I know):

John also runs a great cham business (though he may not breed veiled) if you do not find what you are looking for at the NY show. He has a true love of chams and is an excellent resource.
