Hello chameleon keepers. I used to keep chameleons back in the 90's. I got out of insectivores because I hated messing with crickets. A couple of years ago, I discovered the joys of roaches. Since then I have been fighting the urge to get another chameleon (or a whole bunch), but I am losing the battle...
In the past I kept veiled, panthers, Jackson's and Meller's. A buddy was into the Brookesia, so I learned a little about those too. I have not had a chameleon of my own for around 10 years now, and I've joined the forum to see what I've missed in the last decade. I'd really like to get a CBB Meller's but I understand those are hard to come by. It also seems a shame to keep something so precious, when I have no immediate plans to breed. For those reasons, I'm leaning toward a surplus male panther this time around.
My current reptile collection consists of 2.4.11 sulcata tortoises, 0.0.21 South African leopard tortoises (10 yearlings and 11 hatchlings), 1.0.0 Blackthroated Monitor, 1.0.0 Argentine Black and White Tegu, 0.0.1 Northern Blue Tongue Skink, plus some tarantulas, a vietnamese centipede, and around 100,000 roaches of four species.
Thanks to Clarkrw for referring me to this great forum. ... okay, I have days of chameleon reading to catch up on now. Questions to follow.
