I know exactly how you feel. One of the main reasons I never bred Amy was because I live on a small Island off the south coast of the UK. The local reptile shop has given up keeping chameleons in the shop because they kept coming back or being sold on the local version of ebay. If a shop can't find good forever homes, what chance do I have? You have to fill out a questionnaire at the shop before you can buy any reptile, etc, so they are satisfied that you know how to look after whatever it is you are buying.
I, like sandrachameleon, would be very picky about who got to adopt one of my babies and I think I would question their knowledge so much I would put them off anyway! I would still feel responsible for each and every baby even though they had gone to new owners. I haven't got the room for the extra cages t start with, but I know I would find myself taking them back should people lose interest. So, for me, my sensible head took charge (for once). Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely LOVE the experience of incubating a clutch and rearing some really cute babies, but I just can't do it knowing that I may not be able to find what I would consider to be the best forever homes for each and every one. Tommy and Amy would have had such amazing babies with wonderful gentle temperaments. If they didn't have such large clutches, then maybe.
