How hard is it to take care of multiple chameleons?

[jajeanpierre]

It depends a lot on species, your resources ( financial and time ). When I kept many chameleons, years ago, I found dealing with numerous wild caught animals, even after acclimation, daunting. Everything works fine, when everything goes as planned, but even with the best efforts, medical problems can occur, which can require lots of time and money. I am going to be keeping more than one species and in the near future, but I'm going to take my time, acquire from CB sources or acclimate one wild caught at a time and avoid overwhelming myself.

In your case another chameleon should fit into your daily routine pretty seamlessly, if you have an automatic mister, you're set.

If only I could have chosen when to get my chameleons....

Sometimes you have to buy when they are available because they may never come again.

I've been considering getting an ambanja(I just recently got my first veiled) and this was great advice! Exactly what I needed to hear and take into consideration. Thanks!

Glad to be of help. Veileds are wonderful and I'm quite fond of that species myself. They're a great beginner cham. My suggestion would be to make sure that you have everything down pat in taking care of your 1st cham and know it's care inside and out before getting a 2nd one, especially since you're new to the world of cham keeping. Then do lots of research on the 2nd species before making your decision. Panthers, though a little expensive, make great additions and have care similar to veileds.
