Not getting another cham until tax time. Maybe I should spoil myself with a panther. They are beautiful but I've never spent 300 bucks on an animal outside of a vet visit.
My veiled chameleon Thor recently passed (after about 6 years) recently and am considering a new cham. I also have good experience with Jackson's. I keep seeing these different types of chameleons such as two horned or elliot's. There is a ton of info about veils, Jackson's and Panthers out...
I've only dealt with backwater once but they were good. It was during the summer (I'm in Arizona) and they worked with me to find the best way to get my reptile there safely. The owner called me personally. Other experiences may vary obviously.
My local petsmart (the only place locally I can get crickets or other feeders) have little boxes where they come out only a few at a time. Seemed to work fairly ok but it's not an everytime thing since they're not gutloaded.
