Bringing Reptiles to Canada

[notacoshells]

My parents want to go to Canada for 1 and a half weeks. I have a baby panther Chameleon but with no one to care for it but me. So can I bring it with me?
Thanks

where are you located? There's probably someone located around you that can cham-sit.

In short: "no". Dogs and cats are fairly easy to get over the border, but not other animals. Sorry. I guess you'll have to find a local babysitter. Post where you are and maybe someone on the forum can take your chameleon until you come back. Good luck.

If you are coming from outside the country of Canada, you will need a special permit to take the chameleon across the border, legally. Its difficult / time consuming / expensive to get such paperwork, so much better to find a pet sitter, or to stay home.

chams cant really travel..especially since they are an exotic reptile (they still go by "old world chameleons")..its possible..but i heard it takes about a month to clear for travel..ied just post where you are, and see if someone close by can take watch for you..its only 2 weeks..its not that long..
