Veiled or Panther Chameleon?

[Lizzie The Chameleon]

Oh thanks goodness.... I was hearing a lot about how veileds are meaner...

not necessarily, it just all depends on the cham

It depends on the cham, but usually they are more territorial, and the panthers are more laid back.

cool. My mom tried to talk me into getting a green anole, but I refused. her argument was that it would hate me and I wouldn't be able to hold it, but it's worth it.

So if my veiled is territorial, leave it alone?

Also, along with the starter kit, get an automatic mister like an Exo terra monsoon, or a Mistking.

I did my research and here is what I got:
Male Panther Minimum cage size 18-24 inches wide,18-24 inches long and 48 tall.60cm,60cm,120cm.
Male Veiled minimum cage size 2ft wide,2ft long and 3ft tall.I also saw that the ideal for Male Veileds are 2ftwide,2ftlong, and 4ft tall
I did a summary and that's what I got.
Hope it helps

Yes, and dont get an anole, lol, you cant even hold them, they are ment as feeders not pets.

not always, my friend kept chameleons for around 10 years and a majority of HER panthers were meaner than her veileds (again it depends on the chameleon, every one of them is different. i've never had a panther so i can't say, but i've kept veileds and i just love them.)

That's what I said, Dumzy!

Really? Ive been lied to again.

also chameleons are always more of a "look but not touch" type of animal. they can tolerate handling sometimes, but it stresses them out (this goes for just about any type of chameleon)

Veileds are just better... and I'm totally not biased, okay!?

Aha

well that's just her experience. remember every chammy is different, so you really can't say for a fact either way

I love their casque..

plus they're less expensive, which helps when fighting your parents to let you have one.

It really depends on genetics,species and if they are used to it.
Some can be really nice and don't mi d getting handle but there are others who don't like that much

when you get a new chameleon, should you leave it alone for a while so it can adjust?
