Nice work on the information Sandra, I eat Quinoa salad almost everyday so why not share some with my chameleons. :) We're loving the island, have lots of babies ready this summer if you know anyone. I have 104 translucent veileds which I'm very excited about and 4 different batches of panthers ready in about 2-3 months. I hope all is well with you.
