A few years back we had a litter born and gave a dozen babies away for free here on chameleon forum. Most were mailed out but one guy from NJ and one from NYC drove to the house. My wife Deb fussed a little about strangers coming over. I said "Hey, I met them on the chameleon website--- how...
Hey, that article describes the animals we've has as xanth, as most of our purchases came from wild populations in Hawaii and Florida. We've never bought nor had born a female with a horn.
