Hi,
My name is Simon and I'm 28. I've always liked Chameleons but I was always told they were incredibly hard to keep so I never looked into them.
Recently my partner and I decided we would like to keep a lizard(s) of some sort and decided on green anoles as they seemed easy enough. We visited a local reptile place to enquire about prices and ended up with our faces glued against a tank with 2 Yemen Chameleons in. An anole hardly compares does it lol So we came home and I started googling and was surprised to find that Yemens weren't as hard to keep as I'd been led to believe so we've decided to get one instead of anoles.
Although this is our first venture into reptiles I have and still do keep a variety of creatures.
At the moment I have 17 species of Tarantula, 1 TrapDoor Spider, 3 Emperor Scorpions, 1 Horned Frog, 8 Snakeheads (I'm in the UK and they're legal here) and 3 Rainbow Land Crabs. I've also kept a variety of Stick Insects, Giant Millipedes, Praying Mantids, Malawi Cichlids and an assortment of your average freshwater fish. We also have a house cat (don't worry he won't be going near the Chameleon). My partner has 2 rabbits, 2 robo hamsters and 5 rats. She also used to keep guinea pigs and a dog.
I'm very impressed with this forum so far, had some speedy, informative replies and I'm already a lot clearer on a number of things.

Welcome, Simon! I'm also from the UK. I'm trying to find out how many of us UK people are registered on here. Please add your name to this thread:
