16 degrees today & chams are on the way!!!

[laurie]

I am happy, happy happy. Well it is official I have lost my mind. It is still cold here, 16 when I got up this morning and I am having my chameleons shipped to me. Of course I am having them shipped to my friend house 125 miles south where the temp at night isn't below 40. I will drive down and sit at her house until I have all my children delivered & checked out them we will all get in my Yukon and drive the 125 miles back home. I really, really want my chameleons can you tell? Waiting another month or whatever is just too much.

 

[PantherVeileD]

nice! how many more chams are you getting?? If I had to drive 125 miles to and back I would at least get 3-4 more chams.. thats just me

Laurie I can tell your excited. I'm sure you will warm them right up. Merry Christmas in March!

 

[Julirs]

Laurie-next week right? You gave me a heart attack!

No heart attack!! You have to be alive & well to get my Pygmy's to me. And yes you are mailing on Tuesday and I will get them Wednesday.

PS Lee loves all 3 of hers. And she is naming the little girl Valentine.

Harry you give all my secrets away.

Here is what I am getting:

2 Pygmy's (Brev) form Julirs
2 superciliaris from Tiki Tiki (Chad)
3 jackson's from xanthoman
1 male quad from ChamEO (Elisa)

and Steve is holding 3 from Josh & Michelle
2 deremensis & 1 ambanja


It seems like a lot but these have been aquired over about 5 months but I am just now getting them.

Everyone cross your fingers for me & my chams.

 

[panthercham]

My fingers are crossed for you Laurie and your new bunch....they couldn't have a better home I don't think your crazy....heck I wish I had the space and time to be able to do what you are doing. A house full of chams is a happy, happy place

Just remember the rules....lots and lots of photos when they arrive!

OK I promise pictures. I am super excited to be finally getting all my chams but it is sort of bittersweet. i have wanted a mellers baby almost forever but I have given up that dream. I won't get any cham unless I feel I can provide well for all of the chams needs. I just don't feel I have the proper space for a mellers.
I had to downsize a lot of my chameleons to be able to do this. I currently have only 7 chameleons and 2 of those are pygmy's. I have 2 panthers, one veiled (pickle) and my 2 quad girls. My chameleon room seems soooooooo empty. Even if most of these are very small they will help fill up my love of chameleons.

Wow 5 months I'd go crazy. lol I am having a hard time waiting 2 for my gal o be old enuff to ship. Oh yeah, good luck and be safe.

 

[Miss Lily]

Laurie! Your house must have expanding rooms, lol! I can only dream about that many chams! If you ever want to pass the Jackson's on to me I won't say no! I too can't wait for pics! Good luck for next week - how on earth will you sleep between now and cham day?!

 

[laurie]

Thanks Tiff, I have everything set up now. I am ready when ever the chameleons are! I have never attempted that many new chameleons at once except babies. This will keep me busy and out of trouble. I have even cut my volunteer work down to one day from three until I feel comfortable all the new ones are completely stable. btw sleep is way over rated.

Congrats; I'm excited for you! I won't quite say you're crazy - but you're helping me feel the very model of restraint for only planning on adding one cham and one gecko this year (to my collection of nine herps).
