We got a little veiled chameleon, we was told its a male and we are calling him Waldo because every time we look in his cage its like "where is waldo" lol. we are going to built him a screen cage when he gets a little bit bigger.

he is soooo cute.

Nice!

my only "experience" with a chameleon was a *gorgeous* leopard chameleon at the Manchester reptile expo, he was pawing at the air and I put my hand out near him and he crawled onto me and was like "hey. sup. ima chameleon" :D

My dad used to have a veiled chameleon named Boy George. He'd get tangled in his arm hair. XD

Very cute!! I love their sticky tongues and teeny, darting eyes. <3

He is cute. When I had mine I always got them when they were bigger. It'll be real fun to watch him grow and get his colors. I think a feeding video request might be in order :)

soooo cute! what does he eat at that size?

make sure not to stress him out by handing him to much I have seen many die that way and I know you said you are working on a screen cage but you will want to get that asap. There is a great thread on the reptileoverload.com forums from one of the professional screen cage companies on how to make them.

I'd have to wait and get one eventually, i'd rather not put a chameleon through a move or two in the next few years

Was feeding him and one of the crickets jumped on his tail. Got a pic right before he ate it.

Bawwwww. I love baby chameleons <3 I used to have one, his name was Raptor. I rescued him from the pet store where he was being kept with iguanas...Sadly, he didn't last very long (I think he was a wild caught, and was super sick when I got him). I was happy to give him a great rest of his life though!

how difficult is the husbandry? What size viv do they need max? Are they something you can handle a lot or more for just watching?

Im not the OP but they are NOT for handling. They are easily stressed and some individuals will be downright aggressive.
