Wanting A Veiled Chameleon

[Katrina_1986]

Hello everyone,
I am from Kelowna, BC, Canada and was wondering if anyone could help me find or sell me a veiled chameleon...I had previously owned a very little baby which has sadly passed away and therefore would like to get an older one. I am having an impossible time finding one here and was wondering if anyone could help me out. I would like it to be Male, and atleast 8 months or older. I have my cage and everything ready to go I just need my chameleon...which nobody seems to carry here. If anyone could help me out here I'd be super excited as they are the most fascinating creatures I have ever seen. Can anyone please help me

Okay, first thing I want to know is how did this little guy die, I don't want to be giving information to someone uninformed about chameleons. You can go to pretty much any chamleon website somthing along the lines of Kingsnake.com Classifieds > Chameleons should open up your eyes. If your first baby died it was probably because of some mistake so I will educate you a little on what will kill them easily. Too cold at night, not enough heat around sunning spot, D3 defficiency and calcium which with that age would cause bone disformation, being kept in a fish tank also hurts because there isn't much fresh air. The humidity could go stale and lead the chameleon to breatheing problems and open it up to getting sick. I suggest a reptarium. Only small species should ever be kept in a fish tank ones that are about 3 inches. Misting the cage everyday, or making a small drip system with a cup and pin prick hole at the bottom then a catching basin for the excess water. Chameleons will not usualy drink non moving water.
