That since i have been working with chams i have spent my weekends and evenings reading books about chams, designing enclosures, setting up a reptile room, reading forums, and not going out. Who would have thought that these little guys could be so entrapping.

Things are good

I dont have the books I read online about them My home page is actually this website =]. After the first month of I built my first cage and now I am getting cham number two. Its an addiction and I am gald to see you are so into it!!
 
I love them, there hasn't been any other herp that has gotten my attention like these guys. Its great fun, plus it gives my wife (who has always been big into herps) and i a connecting point. I don't just smile and nod as she is talking about this stuff anymore i can now engage in the convo.

Our reptile room is coming along or should i say reptile loft. And i am starting my first enclosure build this weekend for our 3 F. Lateralis. And setting up a small free range so they have somewhere to be not as stressed during the dreaded cage cleaning. :p

It always starts with one or two, then three oh well I need and even number so four so on and so on lol :)

Welcome to the chameleon addiction ;)

Can't wait to see pics of your finished masterpiece
 
yup

I just received my second chameleon last week. As I type my 5th post I'm scratching my neck and entertaining the thought of building a greenhouse over the summer. :p
 
I cant believe how much reading i do on the chams, i love it too. Its funny how animals can take over your lives :) I dont mind it so much... but that seems to be my personality, i can surround myself with animals and caring for them, but i must remember people matter too.

Whats your second cham going to be called? Still going with the Twilight theme?

I'm saving 'Jasper' for our next male dog, he is going to have some red in his colour (colour of jasper) or some dirty blonde colour like the character, hehe
 
omg same here! ever since i got my panther i have been doin gso much reasearch not only on him but reptiles in general!
 
This is how addicted I am, I wrote a poem to my chams. :rolleyes:

JUST BETWEEN YOU AND I

When we met, you were so small...
Fragile and scared with no color at all.
I watched you rapidly grow and blossom,
Into a Cham that is totally awesome.

You were discovered by the Ancient Greeks,
A calculating creature that's graceful and sleek
Your uniqueness deserved a proper name,
And 'Ground Lion' is what you became.

Sitting and watching you move for hours,
Consumes me with your intriguing powers.
How can a lizard be such an obsession?
Only one can know when in your possession.

I look forward to coming home to see,
My Cham that undoubtedly needs me.
I have other pets, yes it's true,
But none of them fascinate me like you.

We have a secret, just you and I,
That no human can really deny.
How can I be addicted to this World of Chams?
That's something only you and I understand.

My affection for you is true and real,
And I hope you know the joy I feel,
Of being your Keeper, my little friend,
Until we part, at the end.

That is really a great poem!
 
it's a good addiction,
won't harm your health but might hurt your wallet a little :D

I've started few years ago with one, then two, then three... Led to three active rooms, montanes, tropical and free ranged setup.. It finally led to a greenhouse fully equiped in my backyard ! http://forum.tanalahy.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10687

the love settles but never stop!

Its good to see that there are so many others that share our passion for herps. We are fortunate enough to have cheap rent lol. And access to lots of Vets as my wife is going to school at CSU and works in a clinic.
