Document on Veilds in Florida

Yea thats a old spot. Not sure if there being found there anymore. Do some more hunting and you should find some info on a more current spot where people are still finding them. Sorry but I cant say anymore, its a well kept secrert.
 
Dont move just yet, they are very hard to find. The people who collect them go out all the time. 2-3 years ago if you had the right info and the exact streets where there found you could go out and find a couple sleeping in the middle of the night. Ive taken the 3 hour drive there and 3 hours back empty handed. Its no fun. Your better off buying cb veileds. Its alot easier. But if you want a newer hint here it is, Miami area. Have fun!
 
Wow that is the most info on this subject i have ever seen. Looks like i need to print this out and read it tomorrow during school as we have DEAR (drop everything and read) for 30 minutes:(


anyways Thank you so much!
 
I wonder how this recent cold snap has affected the population, I know my veiled can handle a day or so but any longer and I bring him in, although, there is always the possibility of eggs that have yet to hatch still keeping in the cold....I love Florida.

How cold has it gotten?
 
Cool article but I gotta say I was surprised to see that three guys so heavily involved in biology and wildlife wouldn't know the difference between "gender" and "sex." Since "gender" is a social (cultural) category I'd sure like to hear their explanation for how they determined what gender these chameleons identified with as well as why they didn't just record their "sexes." :D
 
Sure, gender is how you identify yourself sexually. For example, masculine, feminine, neutral, etc. They are socially or culturally defined categories. Sex refers specifically to what biological "junk" you have. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender

Edit: Someone can have male body parts but still feel "feminine," like they have the incorrect body parts for who they feel they are.
 
Well yes ofcourse, but it dosent really apply to lizards, they know what they are. They define sex/gender by behavioural and perhaps chemical cues, along with color displays.
I dont really think the use of 'gender' as opposed to 'sex' is a major issue.
Semantics. :)

Before the freeze, don't know how they are doing.
 
Yeah, it appears you're right. I thought the two terms were different so that they represented something specific. I checked a couple biology dictionaries and they have multiple definitions of the word "gender." Often, they had one that said "sex, male or female" immediately followed by another definition that specifically said "gender" refers to grammar categories and "sex" refers to natural distinctions between living objects. :confused: http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Gender
