veiled or jackson?

[chamfan87]

thinking about getting another chameleon had a veiled for a little more than a year and he escaped on me one weekend looked everywhere to find him with no luck(been like 2 weeks). i'm going away on vacation for two weeks next weekend, but when I get back id like to get a new one and if by some luck my other guy comes out from somewhere ill just keep two then lol. there is a local reptile/amphibian only store that sells veiled, jacksons, and Rhampholeons chameleons that i'm probably going to check out and then there is this place called Qpet they have a veiled that seems to be pretty tame he didn't get all huffy puffy and freak out when you went near the cage, but they have him in a kinda small metal cage which looks like he might be a little big for and I kinda feel bad for him he looks healthy and like he wanted out and my GF said I should rescue him from them, but not sure if I want another veiled cause i'm starting to dig the horns on a jacksons even though I miss my other guy id like to see what this other place has first also.

so my question is what you think I should get jacksons or veiled?

just get the jacksons,but do some research

for what its worth, look for your lost veiled at night with a high beam flashlight in the nearby trees and bushes in your back yard. they get very bright at night...goodluck

Don't even get me started on this lol. Inevitably you will have both and then some. I have a veiled, jacksons in comin in a month or so, and then most likely a gf for the jacksons, then babies.

A couple good links for jax info to save you some trouble http://www.reptilechannel.com/care-sheets/jacksons-chameleon.aspx and another http://www.chameleonnews.com/10JulManchen.html goodluck trying to find your veiled, I've heard they can live quite a long time when they escape. Don't give up hope!

think I might do. and I have been I have a really bright led flash light that i've been using, but haven't seem to find him and i've looked pretty much every night since hes been gone and even in the morning before I go to work I know he would be easier to find at night since he would get a really bright green color with really bright blues on him. i know whats gonna happen is ill get another one and ill be leaving for something and randomly find him when im not looking.

veileds are better

But jacksons bear live young for breeding. We just have to have both
