please help me decide if i should get a sunburst veiled chameleon or a regular veiled chameleon. is there any difference?oh and also would any one who has done business with lllreptile.com tell me how it went.

Hi-

Sunburst will have more bright orange/yellow coloring the Turquoise veiled will not have so much color. LLLReptile is good I have not bought anything over the net from them but have been in there store a few times and everything is very clean. Hope this helps!

From my experience, LLLreptile is highly professional and definately one of the best plcase to shop. It is the number one supplier in terms of service and quality on my list.

I bought a frog from lllreptile. It's very healthy and happy. Nothing wrong with it, great place.

I have delt with LLL Reptiles a few times. I have never had any problems with them.

I just bought 1.1 Jacksons from them at an expo, and they seem to be in great shape. The guy there was very helpful.
Can anyone give me any general advice on these guys, good websites (i've probably already been there, been reading all day), and ideas on their behavior? Does it mean something when they curl up their tails when you're holding them?

If they are also puffing themselves up at you at the same time they are trying to look big and tough...bluffing you. Some chams curl up their tail when displaying to another cham or an intruder.

Nope, he's not puffing up or anything. Just sitting there, eyes closed sometimes, with his tail curled up, holding onto my finger.
The LLL guy told me that he was just "at peace... so to say" sitting there.

I personally think LLL is a great place to shop for supplies and herps. They have VERY competitive prices, and in general, their herps are in very good condition. Very good husbandry practices.
Different story when it comes to chameleons, in my opinion. The times I've been to their store, I've seen emaciated and sickly looking chameleons. One of their panthers was missing all nails from its back feet, and kept trying to climb to the very top of the cage, where it would dangle for a while before falling repeatedly.
The staff seems quite knowledgeable about the care and feeding of herps in general, but I they fall short on chameleons.
These are just my opinions.
