thinking on getting a chameleon don't know what kind yet. i have a cage set up with pothos plants and vines to climb on with other fake plants. just wanted some comments on wether to get a panther or veield. and some suggestions and commentssss

thanks

Well I've have one panther now and he's my only cham I've had..I personally would always pick a panther over a vieled..They are more hardy I think and you have a better chance of taming a panther in my opinion..If money is a issue,go with a vieled..If money isn't a issue,I'd go with a panther..Remember this though,each chameleon has his own personality..I love panthers more than any other chameleon so I'm biased..

Vieleds are awesome chameleons too so it's more personal choice..They both are the best starter chameleons based on their requirements and needs..Which ever chameleon you get,do a lot of research so that you're 100% ready so you can give the chameleon the best life he possibly can..

Good luck and hope I helped in your decision

either one is an interesting creature
I vote for panthers myself, but the care for either one is quite similar, with vields perhaps slightly more tolerant of mistakes -that said, neither is easy to keep. So it really comes down to what look you like best.
Get a male for your first one, so that you dont have to worry about eggs.
