Hello! I'm going to be getting a veiled chameleon in a few weeks and it will be my first. I've been doing a lot of research on habitats and care for them so he will be healthy and happy. I've visited the local pet stores around here and I'm concerned because they aren't caring for them the way I've read you are supposed to. Petco had 4 in the tank and the humidity was set at about 10% every time I've been in there. The last time there was one lil guy obviously very sick laying on its belly in the bottom, looked like it was struggling to move its legs.. It would raise his head for a second and then it would drop like it wasn't strong enough to hold it up. =( I contacted management about it, but I've yet to go back to see if anything has been done. Petsmart "looked" better but I'm still nervous. I'm just don't want to buy one that's sick when all my knowledge is based on what I've read. I've noticed a lot of you order yours off the interwebs and was wondering if that would be a better and safer route for a first time owner? Any advice is welcome! Thanks!

haha from a reliable vendor who's focus is chameleons.
