Pascal, Rango, Karma... All great chameleon names. For Tanzanian chams early hominid names would be neat, or maybe just famous anthropologists / biologists who did a lot of work with early hominids / primatologist types. You will at least get some female names. I personally like the...

Many here have either a lack of desire or inability to read. That said a lot of good advice was given. I am no tax expert and would consult a CPA for verification but I would imagine if you invest a significant amount into start up it would be a good idea to set yourself up as a business and...

Rather than straight up culling the unwanted eggs I would give them to someone who would like to raise babies. I've even read here where some people buy eggs. There is a certain timeframe when they are safe to ship but I don't remember what it is.

I am confused about how you were able to avoid standing water. I used a drainage system and felt like I wasn't using enough water. I misted by hand for several minutes 3 to 4 times a day plus used a dripper. It seemed like if I forgot to mist when the cage dried out there would be an off color...

Senegals aren't that much smaller... I wouldn't use anything smaller than 16 x 16 x 30 and even that is a little small for an adult.

I can't tell you 100% because I've yet to be really successful with senegals. I can tell you they love a lot of foliage. Take what is okay for a veiled and double I or triple it. They spend a lot of time weaving around foliage. It is awesome to watch, I've never seen another chameleon move...

I'm going to rant slightly unrelated here. I love that people such as Sandra exist an wish there was more like her. The legal consequences are a fabricated and arbitrary consequence shoddily governed and most often inappropriate. The real consequences are the real issue. If people would think of...

I wrote a letter to Petco on their corporate website and received a call from the district manager a few days later explaining what they did to correct the problems. Some things wont change, ie substrate, water bowls (for show), but they can at least change the dripper placement, and correct...

I love most chamaeleo species (Senegal, graceful, flapnecks), bradipodion species, and most triceros, I'm just not as hyped about furcifur or caluma species. I really like them all though and could easily own any chameleon one day...

Heck, I wish I could get one right now. Those are going to be awesome and I don't particularly like panthers.

I just read Tod's advert, those would be perfect for you if you like them.

I have a rule: always listen to Jann and Sandra (there are a few others, but very few). Dez and Todenedo are both good choices as well. The reason I think Dr. O is awesome is because he is. How many opportunities will you get to purchase from veterinarian who will offer advice for the...

All of the sponsors on this site are top notch and will treat you right. If I was to buy a panther it would be from one of the members here (watch the classifieds and get to know people) or from Kammetflage Kreations (Chameleons only) who has cross locales (morphs) or Dr. O's Tie Dyed...

Sorry, I sometimes assume people know this stuff when most don't. A locale is essentially where in Madagascar the chameleons wild ancestors can be found. Each location has panthers that have different coloration, and to a very minor extent different body shapes. They are all the same species...

Well then a panther is ideal. They are very hardy, very friendly, and as a general rule you are less likely to have weird congenital issues. I would go for a mixed locale as a pet because the increased genetic diversity makes for a healthier animal in general. They also tend to be less expensive...

There are several reasons purchase cost shouldn't be a huge contributing factor, especially when the price difference is under 200 dollars. Most importantly of these reasons you're going to be responsible for this chameleon for 4 to 7 years, it better be an animal you're going to love...

All you have to do is ask. I'll even give you my real number! This where your wrong. I have a similar problem, my wife fears and hates the roaches. I told my wife all about it and made sure she knows there are quick easy solutions for just such a catastrophe. Not to mention it is fine...

First off, if someone is buying a wild caught to save money they will most likely not save money without simply disregarding a life. If you want the experience of watching a properly cared for chameleon get sick and a wild caught is a good choice. If you want to find all the local herp vets a...

Do you want to kill them or catch them? You can line all possible room exits with borax, that will kill them off good. The duct tape is a good idea too but once it gets a little dusty they will walk right over it. A shallow tray of water vinegar and sugar will drown them. I would turn...

First off, if the purchase price is a concern you are best off not getting a chameleon. Proper feeding, care, and veterinary expenses will annually exceed the purchase of all but the really expensive specialty panther locales. Most Senegals and gracefuls you see for sale cheap are a horrible...
