She's lovely. Are her legs navy, or is that just me?

They're mainly black actually.

She looks kind of like large-crystal granite when you look at her up close.
Meraukes are the largest type of blue tongue - they get up to 30 inches long :)

you're actually going to make me cry.

I'm insanely jealous!

(Am I allowed to have a chameleon in this country?)

My mate used to keep chameleons

so I guess so

You are I think, yeah.

But chameleons can't really be handled.

If you're going to get a reptile, I'd recommend a blue-tongue all the way :) They're lovely pets.

Oh did I mention they're intelligent enough to know your face and their name? They come to you if you call them :D

i would go against that they can't be handled

they are fine if you handle them correctly and don't keep getting them out and putting them back in to show people.

but once or twice a day for short periods of no more then 30mins to an hour should be ok.

You probably know a lot more than me :)

I do like the look of chameleons but they just look so fragile somehow :/

yemens are ok

and are widly availible. i'm not allowed to have any more pets.

i built a viv to the same spec of yours from an old wardrobe, it was double the size if the previous one i had.

chinese waterdragons or sailfins are also good to keep, but they are climers and you'd need a 4x4x2 viv to do them justice (a male and two females)

I get this feeling

that I'm always going to want skinks now :)

I could be swayed by a cute gecko though.

Right, fuck chameleons.

Sorry to copy you, but wow.

(

You going to try and get one then?

If you are, I'd recommend www.bluetongueskinks.net as a starting point on reading up about them.
They have a caresheet which tells you literally all you need to know.
Obviously I'm about too if you need help :)

Beautiful

I shall check with my mate tonight- lovely as they are, I'd prefer visits from my best bud.

Thanks for all your help!

'salright :)

(

wastedindustry yes indeed sir, Tue 5 Jun 2007, 14:03, archived)

yes

they are widely available and are ok for handling.

and yemen will set you back about £50.

but remember a vivarium set up can cost you loads to set up and you will need to make provisions as they get larger.

also make sure you can source good quality live food.

(

Food is definitely a concern with Chameleons.

Blue Tongues are easier purely because they're omnivorous - they can live on just veg if they have to.

It's all personal choice though :)

(

wastedindustry yes indeed sir, Tue 5 Jun 2007, 13:51, archived)

I've never played with live food before.

Buffy Python eats (defrosted) frozen guinea pigs though.

If you leave them on the radiator, they explode.

Well done Jeff.
