It makes me wonder if Joe sends out many of the "farm bred" only species in single sexes. All of the montanes (R. acuminatus) Joe has sent from Tanzania have been male so far, looking at 18 different animals in Europe and the USA. This is despite 1/2 of them being labeled as females. Since it...

I would not suggest a vet appt. Stress is one of the leading killers of chameleons. Keep her well hydrated with an auto mister. Water her for long periods, and yes, a shower would would wonders.

This subspecies of BT will not infect crickets, other subspecies will.

Use BT (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) that they have for mosquitos. It is market under several names to control mosquitos in stagnant water. The most common brand name is "Mosquito Dunks," available at Wal-mart, Lowes, Home Depot, and you garden supply store. Just take the dunks, break...

Yes, Traffic reported on this issue a few years ago and it continues until this day. I'll see if I can find a digital copy. MOST are collected illegally, many of the trappers don't even have a trappers permit. As you may know, Joe B. has been very vocal of this in Tanzania, as he is one of the...

A lot of people seem to have problems with egg-binding in female veileds and panthers. Most of the time this is due to the females not finding a suitable place for nesting. Here is a simple way to make an egg laying container that will have most females laying within an hour. Get two...

I am very open about issues I had with animals eariler this year. I've sent many animals prior to being paid for these the past few months to show that I do not intend to harm anyone.

I stated with animals prior to the ponds, my pond business took a hue hit this year with non-stop rains throughout early thsi year. When it cleared up I was backed up on contracts, I had animals coming in, and animals that needed to be sent out. Things just tumbled from there into a giant...

The problem was I got low on cash this year and had too much going on to fix any of the mistakes I made. I understand business and I have supported myself since I was 15. I made a mistake and took preorders on specimens with deposits. When I was unable to send them, I already sent the money...

I did not have time. I had many shipments come in at once and I lost a lot of animals due to neglect. I'm not happy about it, but ti is the truth. I had too many eggs in one basket. Why should I be kick off? I have done nothing wrong on here. I've likely kept chameleons longer then most...

This process was started before the mess began. So no, I did not send money to Tanzania during these problems. Like I said before, these things take TIME. also, I have to make money to repay those I owe, don't I?

Yes I will be offering limtied numbers in the USA, the rest will be sent to Europe and Japan. As for benefits, I did not mean the money, I meant working with the species and the knowledge you gain from it. Money only does so much.

I appreciate this post, you seem to know what you are talking about. Yes, I am trying to make money, but before I even had my exporter obtain permits I thought long and hard about this. I wanted to make sure this was not going to open up the flood gates and cause this species to be stripped...

No, I will not be reporting Nick. He didn't bring in R. viridis on purpose, a single male came in. Nick is a good guy and I commend him for offering Joe's F1 animals in the USA, a drastic improvement over regaulrly imported WC chams. I hope Nick will be able to provide both species as F1 in...

Wait, I'm selling specimens in the USA. I will not be sell ALL the specimens in the USA as I do not think the market can accept that amount of animals without the market price being forced to go down. If the market price goes down on the animals it wouldn't be worth it to collect them. That...

Please understand my frustration. You suggested these animals could be imported without the proper paperwork from the wildlife authorties in Tanzania. I know that this is illegal. The exporters will collect them and export them perhaps, but it is still illegal. I went through a lot to make...

Those will be some killer looking adults.

I never have a problem with my Tanzanian shipper. He is a man of his word.
