Introduction

Hello. A week ago Sunday I was "gifted" with a veiled chameleon. I decided that I would make the most of it and make a proper home for him.

I had no knowledge lizards at all. He is my first cold blooded companion.

We had a rough first week, but I think we are starting figure one another out. A lot of the questions I have had has been answered through this site. I am incredibly grateful for that.

So I thought it would be nice to be able to have a conversation with some of you. I'm looking forward to learning more.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on your new chameleon. Do you have a name for him yet! Any pictures? I keep veiled and they are awesome chameleons with so much personality and such a pleasure to work with. You can see my veileds here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/my-beautiful-veileds-142194/

Welcome to the Forum! You'll be glad you decided to stick with it - chameleons are such special creatures. Those alien mitten hands find a way to latch right on to your heart.

Jannb's info is the best that it gets. Follow her advice, and you won't go wrong.

Thank you. His name is Finn. My son named him because he looks like he has a shark fin. His words not mine. I am definitely finding him to be a fascinating animal. I love an animal with personality, and my husband and I are both big animal people.

I have so many pics of him, but I'm not sure how to share on mobile.

Edited to add pics. First is him a few days ago, second is his first day with us.

They are gorgeous. I can't even imagine Finn being that bright.
