Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

[Kristen Wilkins]

The title is what made me read through all the pages when I was starting to seriously consider starting my own chameleon journey. So yes, please don't change the title even though it has morphed into far beyond what the original thread was created under.

Now, thanks to your thread and tons of help from @Matt Vanilla Gorilla, @Katacara and of course, @Kristen Wilkins, my wife and I now have blue lightning. We've been enjoying getting to know him since last Thursday after I finally got his enclosure done enough to bring him home. I still have a few odd projects on it I want to do yet though lol.

Pics please

@dshuld & @Krissy83 Glad I could help

@Traildrifterphalanx & V: Peepers says he wants one of those trees NOW! He is SO jealous!!

Frances is as well so jealous . Frances wants to see if she can play on Vs tree .

OH that’s sounds so wrong .

OH that’s sounds so wrong .

He's too young to understand that lol, all good

I got the tree for $10 on facebook marketplace. I had been browsing for a while for one that was reasonable. Fake trees tend to be super expensive

I love the FB marketplace . I’ve been keeping my eyes open as well . I will have a few condos to set up this winter . I’m also looking for a small nicer looking kitchen table . I will be Splitting the area in 1/2 to accommodate condos .

That is what I need to do! I have a lot of rearranging to do to accommodate all my new family members!

I'll not clog your thread with to many pics of him @Traildrifterphalanx. Lol but, since @Kristen Wilkins asked here's a few. The last one has been his pjs coloring so far since being with us.

Yes yes . We never use our table . It’s a high table and it’s not at all comfortable . If we have Company we do a buffet usually . We could go with 1/2 the size and that will open lots room . How was your visit with your mom ?

Handsome @dshuld have you started a thread under photos ? If not you should we absolutely love watching them grow . Blue is so so handsome . Don’t you love the yellow around the mouth .

 

[Katacara]

My family is super cool about all my critters. They are happy that I finally found something that I love doing, that I am physically able to do, and that makes me SO happy!

Atm blue is in my enclosure thread and @Krissy83 's home sweet home thread in general. When I have time I'll add to the photo area since Matt was kind enough to send me all the way back to baby pics lol.

not sure what happened on the first post?

When people ask why I've got so many pets, I just say I surround myself with happiness. I think that's what life should be about

Absolutely that’s the truth . There Amazing little gems . We would have 100 if we could . One has to be a lizard person to understand this .

I think it truly is the baked in expression of looking "displeased". It's too cute

Another great place to find the fake trees is at Goodwill, I got each of the tall trees for $6 and the smaller one for $4, also a couple came with bonus Xmas lights haha! I have found about 6 of these on my travels, these are my new ones that have not been cleaned and lights removed yet. I love putting a whole bunch of them together, they love exploring on them! Surprisingly they hold up pretty well!
