i have only baught supplies from lllreptile so i dont know how their animals are. the moss i n the kit is not needed. i would suggest maybe buying the kit with out the cameleon and getting your cham from a breeder. flchams.com has some good prices and they turn out great. (you can check out pablo my cham and otto on this forum) before you do= buy a cham do alot of research. they are very time consuming animals to have.

Depends on your neigbor and your trust level in them. They are something that will need at least twice daily care, but one cham should not be too much for someone to deal with for a vacation. I have also purchased all of my chams from FL Chams-very quality animals. LLL is great for supplies and that is actually a good price for the 38gallon or 65gallon starter kit-minus the moss. See if you can trade the moss for a Softray for the bottom.

I just got a baby veiled the other day, and I am a first time owner with chameleons but not new to reptiles. He is quite the character. He is slowly getting used to people, and he is pretty cool but a lot of work.

That's not a bad package deal, I paid $200 (including cage, lighting, vines, living ficus, food, calcium,dripper,and of course the chameleon) so that package isn't bad but you would still have to buy a living plant, calcium supplements, and a few other things. Oh, plus a dripper.

I purchased this kit. The veiled shipped fine to Delaware, so I don't think you can get a lot further away in the U.S. It has most of the things you will need to get started, but as someone else already said, you will need to purchase live plants separate as well as a misting bottle. My biggest issue is that I am not a fan of the reptarium. They are dark and crickets can get under the plastic tube frame. Also, the 65 gallon is too big for a baby. You will definately be cup feeding as crickets will get lost in this thing unless you somehow section off some of it.

I would never get a reptarium. Exactly as Red Bishop said, crickets can get under the tubing then you just have a cage full of crickets but you don't know it. They are also no where near as good as a regular screen cage that is actually put together with screws, and can't hold as many plants. That's just my opinion.
