His temporary cage:

Also is it normal for him to sit directly under dripper and let it fall on him? He probably hasn't had a "correct" water source ever so I'm sure he's loving all the water he can get.
So I rescued a male veiled from Craigslist yesterday. Please bear with me because he was living in a 10G aquarium. This disaster also had some type of dark reptile night light as his primary source of UVA/UVB, there was no water source period, and the cage was filled with lawn mulch.
I...
From my experience with aquatic turtles the 10.0 could be used so long as it wasn't a CFL. Putting 10.0 CFL in a mini dome can focus way to much into one spot. But that's not what you have so it sounds like you're G2G. :)
Substrate is long gone. I cringed when I first saw it! Also standing it on end was the first thing I thought of. Only thing is will any heat from the light get through at all? He's super friendly doesn't act all weird (which may or may not be good/bad)? I have no problems keeping him out...
Ah shoot. I'm calling the place now to see if I can upgrade. Now that makes me wish I'd have ordered the large Ficus lol.
That's a good question. I tried to find specs on it and all it says is a "tropical UVB" bulb. I know they do also offer a "desert" one so I'm guessing the tropical...
So I've been rescuing and re-homing turtles for almost 5 years now I've never dealt with a chameleon before. I was planning on getting one from a breeder here on the forums, but yesterday I was poking around CL and found this guy. He's been living in a 10 gallon tank, has a water dish, one...
Thank you for the responses. As much as I'd love to rescue both I can only afford one. I'm going to pickup the male tomorrow.
I can't wait to finally be a chameleon owner! :D
I think it's because of how old the link is. The website could have changed or removed that section. Any chance you could post some pics? I know this is digging up an old thread already.
Love this little guy to death!

His swamp/basking area.
Lots of swimming space.
Funny story...I bought about a dozen guppies. Only 5 or 6 were eaten, now they've made peace with him, and I have 20+.
Setup:
56G tank

So I'm sure you've all seen these threads before... "great another FNG that doesn't search." Well I did look around a little bit but still want to ask.
I understand the care, diet, and cage requirements. My question is are there a certain breed that is more temperamental or friendly...
