Oh I know, and I will. Its just fun to have people put their bets in. I'm not out any money on him, there were no promises made, its just sheer curiosity. Its a great example of how these animals end up in pet stores.. The wholesaler calls up the store and goes "Hey, we've got a bunch of...

Chuck please stop admiring my arms, as it makes me uncomfortable.

ha ha there is a good chance. Unless his local develops as obviously one thing or another, I certainly won't breed him ever.. As crosses certainly aren't something I want to perpetuate.

So the quest that can probably only be solved by time to figure out what local this cham is continues. Long story short its a pet store cham, I took it in on trade for some work I did. His wholesaler sent him a "Sambava" and an "Ambilobe" unmarked, this guy clearly isn't a sambava, and...

Their chameleons are essentially breeder overflow. There is a good chance that the animal will be the same animal you'd get from a "name" breeder on here, but you won't have any documentation to that effect, and you won't know exactly what it is you have until it grows up really. It's also up to...

Can't remember where i've heard of it... BUT I had heard that after obviously removing the chameleons, add a bowl of hot water, a chunk of dry ice, and sealing off the top of the enclosure will fill the enclosure with CO2.. you have to leave it like that for a while, but it will suffocate all...

No, I feel pretty confident in my assessment. Quite frankly, even under optimum conditions, a pet store is no environment for a chameleon. Way too much traffic and stress. We're talking about animals whose survival instinct is to look as healthy as possible, even if its dying. If someone who...

I average 33mpg on my 09 focus according to its little computer. Prior to that I actually had a prius and I have to say, it was a bit of a scam. The true average on it was right at 45mpg for me, BUT there are some significant downfalls compared to the focus. Taxes, Title, etc. with a...

You're honestly going to end up just spending a lot of money on an animal that will die anyways. You might as well purchase a healthy chameleon from a breeder like you're going to end up doing in the end, and donating a couple of hundred dollars that you would have spent on the animal and vet...

because in the wild, sometimes the mouse gets in a few good licks.. which is fine in the wild, but not something you want to happen to your expensive pet. Its the same reason you buy your food at the store, instead of taking it down with rocks and sticks like you'd have to in the wild.. push...

How is 500 crazy for a rare, exotic animal? Priced any high end snake morphs? Pure-bred dogs? I have a theory that people take better care of animals that they paid more for, and as such would like to see the price of all panthers get back up over the 300 mark consistently again. Anyone...

I want them! But you know that.

First of all, you never know if you have a RB female. Second, some may be RB, some may be BB, some may be Red and Blue Bar, some may start red bar and end up blue bar, etc. Say you breed what you think to be two BB ambilobes together, and out of all the boys, 2 of them pop out with red...

Sorry that was directed at the well I have a bla bla X bla bla cross and its great posts. I also wrote it, and didn't hit send for a few hours.. ha ha..

I think you're all missing the point. This isn't about local crosses, its about crossing two ambilobes. The answer is, I'm sure it happens all the time. As clutches of ambilobes can easily produce red and blue bars, knowing the genetic makeup of the female is impossible to tell. The real...

I've seen numbers somewhere that suggest that 90% of all WC animals don't make it from their capture to the end of their first year in captivity. This isn't some crazy new revelation. Things are actually better than they've ever been. It's just a very slow process. Chameleons are pretty...

Most stores wont' sell a veiled for $35, 50-75 is more likely. They are primarily captive bred specimens, but in order to compete with import pricing, they are generally sold at what seems to be about 3 weeks old to minimize breeder costs. I think current wholesale rate is between $15-25 for...

Running a pet store isn't for people who love animals. Here is a very basic example. You have a Veiled Chameleon that sells for around $75 at most retail operations (Internet is always cheaper, but you have to factor in shipping, etc. so most retail stores around here get 40-50 more than you...
