First Time Cham Parents

[HawkPotato]

Hey, guys!

We're the Hawks, and we just adopted our first veiled baby girl from PetCo and have completely and totally fallen in love. It was a pretty impulsive venture but we've most certainly been overcome with the addiction and obsession I've read so much about in this forum. We've spent probably 50% of our spare time the past week reading and researching on this awesome website (the other 50% has just been spent sitting and gawking at this magnificent creature), and finally decided it was time to make an account. We're so excited to become a part of this amazing community and are beyond enthusiastic about our future with chameleons!

So, without further ado, this is Potato (Poe for short).

We're so lovestruck. Isn't she a beaut?

Welcome to the forums and congrats on your first chameleon. Poe is a beautiful little lady. Female veileds are one of my favorite species with so much personality. I have a few blogs attached for you so that you can keep Poe healthy and happy. Do you know how old she is? Around 5 months you will need to start keeping a laying bin in her enclosure becaue the females can and often do lay eggs without a male even being around. I have you a couple of blogs about that too. The very best to you and little Poe. I'm looking forward to seeing her grow up here on the forums.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! It's really fun to have read a lot of your guys' threads and posts and then see you replying to ours!

Jannb, your blogs are magnificent! Thank you so much for supplying such great, informative material! Once we learned we had a girl, we were feeling a little stressed about the egg laying bit, but after reading your blogs, we feel much more confident and prepared to handle our little woman!

SolidSnake, I recognize coming across your name while getting enclosure inspiration... your set up is awesome and little Polly is just precious!

I'll relay all your kind comments to little Poe. She's still kicking butt and taking names; really hunts those feeders like nobody's business! She's thoroughly hypnotizing and we can't get enough.

You guys are awesome. So excited to be here! Thanks again!
