Hello! Just wanted to say "hi". I am a new chameleon owner, just bought a hatchling last Saturday and named it Rango (not original I know haha). He is doing great, so active. I am not a newbie in owning reptiles however, I have many which you can see from my signature. I started with corn snakes about two years ago and my number of reptiles that I own has gradually increased since haha.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on your first chameleon. Any pictures? Chameleons have different care than any other reptile. I'm attaching my blog for general care below. I hope you will find it helpful.

Yes I have pictures, but it isn't letting me upload today. But he is very healthy and incredibly active. The only thing is I noticed he tries to climb up the glass so I went on the web and someone said veiled chameleons have to have a screen cage on all sides, which I figured when I first got him but the breeder said I could use a regular glass aquarium, so I've ordered a reptibreeze screen cage for him which is coming into tmrw. He'll be so happy! That's really the only problem I've had so far. Thanks for the help links
