@Mendez How many species do you keep? I’ve been under the impression that you primarily have Jackson’s. Love little Twig btw.

@Mendez How many species do you keep? I’ve been under the impression that you primarily have Jackson’s. Love little Twig btw.

You would be right. I have had my jackson's for 3.5+ years. It was my first species, but I always wanted to try out different species that aren't so mainstream. Last Halloween I pulled the trigger on purchasing a male satanic leaf tail gecko (U. phantasticus). And from there, I couldn't stop myself from buying more reptiles. I have two female Brookesia superciliaris (going to get a male soon) that I got in November of last year. And then about a month and a half ago, I purchased a pair of Furcifer willsii (Canopy chameleons). All of them have acclimated well and doing fantastic.

I really want to focus on one or two species of chameleons. My plans are to get more Furcifer willsii and pygmy chameleons in the near-ish future. I'd love to see these species become more established in captivity. Especially since Madagascar is on the brink of destruction and exports/imports might shut down soon.

And thanks! I love her too!

I had not heard any recent news about the status of Madagascar. The last I heard is they were going through the pandemic similar to the rest of the world and a server famine and drought, however were receiving aid.

Maybe Madagascar should consider a temporary close export quotas of chameleons of the new quota species. This is till conditions are appropriate again for the export of of the other Madagascar newly created quota species. The quota system was designed for this purpose.

I got excited for a second but my dreams have been crushed

I'm really not sure how to respond to this!

It's nice that someone can relate to Twig, but now I have to question if you are okay mentally. Are you always annoyed and also pissing people off because you have resting ***** face? If so, then I guess you would be correct, she is the spirit animal for you!

But seriously, makes me happy to hear it haha

I really feel like she could resemble my reaction to other humans when I go out in public these days. I find that I have a low tolerance for rudeness. But ehhhh yall know me... Too nice for my own good. So maybe I just wish I was more like her, expression mainly lol.

We all appreciate your kindness--even if it causes harm/trouble to yourself at times. Taking the high road has a cost. But trust me, the light that comes from your kindness will greatly outshine the cloak of malice. (I should become a writer lol, that's not half bad). What I'm trying to say is: hang in there. You have done so many great things and I just want to let you know that you are appreciated and loved.

If I meet someone with Twig's facial expressions, I'll immediately ask them if they have a chameleon named Beman haha
