New to Chams

[Kevin1873]

This is everything I've gathered so far in my 3 months of researching Chameleon's. Everyone of them have something good to offer and give some great insight into caring and husbandry.

Hey thanks for all your help guys. My order came in today and i just finished putting the cage together. I went with the 24x24x48 in the end

 

[johnC]

now what breeder should i be looking at

 

[Chase]

Fl Chams definitly!!!

 

[Julirs]

FL Chams! Awesome Veileds(or Panthers-or whatever you choose!)-I would start out with one of the 4-6 month old males for the size cage that you ended up getting. My male Veiled went in there at 4.5 months with no problems. anything younger and the cage will be too large. Here is my male Veiled at 1+ year old! www.FLChams.com

 

[johnC]

Ahh i wish i could buy from Flchams but the cham+shipping is a lil much for my budget. Do u know any other breeders?

 

[johnC]

Btw that is a beautiful veiled!

 

[Julirs]

Thanks! One word of advice-spend a little more for the animal to make sure it is healthy-it will save you Vet bills down the road-which are not cheap. I truly speak from expererience. Plus if you order from a good breeder-they all charge the same for shipping. Another suggestion-are there any reptile shows in your area?

Ok well i ended up ordering from FLchams today haha. Does the owner lurk on this site?

 

[Julirs]

He most certainly does! Congrats! Post pics when you get him! Did you get one of the 4 month olds?

 

[johnC]

Congratz John, that is awesome. I'm gonna hopefully order from FlChams tomorrow. I'm just waiting for the darn payment on my credit card to go through. Usually it goes through within a day or two but they are taking their sweet ol' time for some reason. I was hoping to order today but I may have to wait until tomorrow. I'm getting quite anxious because I've been setting everything up for a good 3 months now and now all I need is the Cham. I have 500 crickets sitting in a 103 Qt rubbermaid bin and they seem to enjoy eating each other more than they enjoy the bountiful harvest of food they have available to them so I'm hoping a few of them survive lol. Again congratz, can't wait to see some pic's of ur Cham John.
