My sister has a chameleon named Peaches. She just recently got a new cage and we've been busy setting it up and making it perfect. I could sit here and tell you what I know about chameleons, but I don't know much. So I'm going to try to convince my sister to come on here and tell you what she knows, and she knows almost everything you could ever want to know :D

ps: I'm gald to see you did your research, they are complicated little creaturs.

My tip is to stop by forum.kingsnake.com and hop on to their chameleon forum. Tell them what kind of chamie you're geting and what setup you're getting and they'll help you out with anything you're missing. ^_^

We feed Peachwes Dustied Crickets. I really hope you *did* do research before getting a Chameleon, they are very very very hard to care for. Please, if you havn't done research go now. Also, make sure the cage is set up before you get it, and you wont want to hold it for a day or two, let it get acustomed to its cage, you dont' want to stress it out. If you are getting a young one, who is really small, they have a less chance of survining because they are so small and young.
