How old are the veileds at the shop? If they are tiny babies (less than 3-4 months old) I'd pass. Babies are trickier to acclimate especially for a newbie. A juvenile would be better partly as it will be easier to feed, can handle the larger cage (if you want to avoid upgrading you can temporarily divide the cage so it can find its food), is less likely to dehydrate or overheat while you are learning about it. There are some articles on setting up new chams, about veileds and panthers, about caging and setups on the Chameleonnews ezine that will answer almost all your questions.
