Excited I'm sure!
Well I am sure you must be excited I know that feeling!
If you wish once you get your set up together you can post as someone mentioned your set up senario and lighting... supplements ect and run them by the Forum to be sure you are prepared properly for your new guy or gal... that way you will have the best chances of getting yourself and your Cham off to a good start!
Have fun!

You'll be off to a brilliant start with all the research and preparation you are doing! At least you'll go into this with your eyes open and are more liekyl to take great care of your new little green friend! I know how hard the waiting part is, but it's a great feeling to know that the setup is running perfectly before you get your cham.

Umm! Your supposed to use a Repti-sun 5.0 strip bulb. Not a 10.0. Thats too much.
Go with the Repti-cal and Hertivite supplements. They are good.
Im excited for you too

I use a 10.0 ReptiGlo (which is the make Nick intends to use) as the mesh on top of Amy's cage is very thick and dark. The mesh of the flexariums is also very thick and dark, so a 10.0 will probably be ok. I have had two females in that viv with a 10.0 on them and never had any problems.
Oh man, be ready to stress over your cage haha, when i got my cage and stuff to put inside, i kid you not i was there for hours, HOURS! trying to get it right, im still not happy with my cage setup and ive had my little Indigo for about a month and a half haha. Im going to have to take her out and change it eventually
