New to the Forum

Hello everyone! I am new to the forum and just got my first Chameleon! She is a beautiful little girl. My husband and I have a Tegu that is approximately 36 inches long and weighs about 4 pounds. But, this is my first Chamelon and her name is Aja-the African goddess of the forest, hehe.

She is just delightful and still a bit shy but she has great color! She does not mind being held right now and she climbs right onto my hand when I put it in the cage. When I first approach the cage she does get a little shy though.

Since I am new does anyone have anyone have any words of wisdom or suggesstions/advice?

Thanks for your time in answering my questions!

Thanks! I just finished reading the posting about general care lighting, enclosure, etc.
I think I will just keep reading and when I have questions I will ask! Thanks a million!
