This is good. I will be taking my time getting things in order first. Closing on the house later today!

I'm looking out for the next few months, but I'm not buying right now. Is there anyone breeding melleri now? I'm going to be in the market in the next several months.

I couldn't tell you. I don't remember anything about the weights of my animals. It's been so long.

I'll be moving in mid April. I figure I can have the small area of the basement rough-finished (insulation and framing) done this summer if I find the motivation. I want CB melleri and deremensis when they're available. If I get set up, I'll grab WC melleri when I am ready. I really love...

Yeah, I went through a divorce back in 2009/2010. Initially, I went all-out with my chameleons. Things were looking good for my hobby, until I realized that I was still miserable. I had a hole in me, figuratively speaking, and I was trying to fill it with more hobby-related things. Didn't...

I had way too much experience with fat deremensis... Most of my females never dug a hole. They often became eggbound. It was only towards the end of my time with the species that I figured out how to prevent it. By then, I was not in a position to keep them. All my animals did well for...

Years ago, a friend of mine, Pete Mackevich, in PA, had imported a whole group of johnstoni. This is mid-90's. He showed me the last survivor, an ugly, scarred-up female. All the others died the same way. They all seemed to thrive initially. One by one, they dropped dead, with blood in...

Im Planning A Trip To Nj This Spring. It Would Be A Great Reentry Back Into The Hobby.

This is great news. I remember being young and self-interested, upset that they were closing things down. Now, I'm happy. Not just because we might see more new blood in the hobby, but the fact that populations in the wild can sustain it. I've never been much interested in the Madagascar...

Closing On My House Next Week. My House With 1500 Square Feet Of Not-yet-Finished Basement... Been About 3 YeArs Since I've Had Even A Single UselessReptile... I Can'tWait!

$600 For A Pair of WC Veiled Chameleons. My Father Paid - I Was 15. This Was 20 Years Ago When 2 Week Olds Were Going For $125.00+

I Hate The Way My Messages Cone Out When using My Phone... All Caps.

MelleriCan Seem Calm, But Yours Looks Irritated. Low Level Stress. Her Color And Position IndicateThat She Is Very Much Aware Of The Other Chameleon. Given space, Melleri Can Get Along With Others...Sonetimes. All It Takes Is One Time Though, And Your Panther Is Dead On The Floor With A...

Funny thing was, I found Ardi (the melleri) to be the easiest chameleon to keep, out of all the chameleons I've had in my life. He ate more, and required a bigger cage, but he was predictable and easy going. Never had a problem until he got burned. THAT only happened because I made a poor...

It Is roachesThatHas KeptMeOut Of The Hobby For Years... I Need TheM, They Ate A Necessary Evil, As Crickets, (Also Evil, But Jump And Chirp). Thing IS, I Can't ExpectA Landlord To Accept A Bin Filled With Thousands Of Cockroaches.

There Were Some Red Females Popping Up From Time To Time Years Ago... I Don't Remember Anything Else.

I'm going to get back into things when I buy a house. I've been a RN for a little over a year now. New career, new life, etc. Moved into a friend's house for a short while until I get a house - only THEN will I get back into things. I would never even think about breeding cockroaches in...

Very much a misunderstanding. Of course, not hard, considering that I wrote it so late after a long shift. I was trying to point out the differences between how we select our breeders and how they are "selected" in the wild. I'm referring to populations of animals that are based on a...

Selection is the key. Even with a very small gene pool, a viable population is certainly possible - provided adequate selective forces. Nature can select a healthy breeding population out of one single clutch. Replicating that in captivity is not possible unless you ignore the most selective...

Neat. I remember reading/hearing rumors that Tremper had a bunch in , but they ate incessantly, unfathomably large amounts...
