Jackson's, Veiled, and Panther Chameleon handleability?

[bradleymarky]

i`m due to pick up a yemen next week, are these ok for handling, i wouldnt want to handle it all the time anyway but i suppose it depends if the breeder has been handling them as babies

i will be buying a repti sun or exoterra 5.0 uv bulb will 13 watt or 26 watt be better or does it matter, my viv is 4x2x2

thanks

of the three, xanths probably have the most docile personalities (generally speaking, they are wild animals and there are no guarantees) so they are (usually) the easiest to handle, but the handling can cause them stress, which can lead to health problems, and they are generally considered to be not the best starter cham. you indicated in your last post that you were going to get a reptisun or reptiglo 5.0, 13 or 26 watt which indicates a cfl, so you are not off on the best start, you would be better off with a lineal reptisun 5.0 over the top of the tank, especially with a jacksons.if you insist on using a cfl then you might want to view this thread https://www.chameleonforums.com/updated-info-cf-uvb-lamps-29318/ jmo
