My 16 y/o son got a Jackson's Chameleon a couple of weeks ago. He is eating and drinking. I am trying to figure out if a misting system will keep the humidity the correct level. His enclosure is all screen and I am planning to put Plexiglas glass over 2 sides. Is that a good idea?
 
I have been doing some research for a couple of months and am now thinking of getting my first veiled chameleon. My problem is that I don't know where to get it from. I have heard good things about the site FLChams but since I wanted to purchase a veiled Cham I recently visited their veiled Cham site called veiledchams.com and was thinking about getting a baby off of that site along with one of their complete care packages! My question is, if you have purchased a Cham off of that site and a care pack what were your reviews/experiences about your purchase?
