It's that time of year again! This week, I received a bunch of emails about melleri for sale in mom & pop pet shops, trade shows, and online. I hope to answer some questions with this post before more hit my inbox:
1. No, I do not have any melleri for sale. I do not sell my CBs to vendors for resale. Anyone selling at shows or online who claims their fresh baby melleri were bred by me is not to be trusted.
2. I don't take reservations for animals, I don't have any eggs incubating right now, and I thoroughly screen interested parties. Everyone here will know if and when I have CB for sale again.
3. No matter where you want to buy an animal, check their references. ( I advise the same to people buying art.) Pet stores, private breeders, dealers, and importers are often reported on the Board of Inquiry at FaunaClassifieds, and in some cases, the Better Business Bureau. To access the BOI, just join FaunaClassifieds (it's free), and after you log in, the hundreds of threads will appear. Plug the name of the seller/company into the search function and you'll be able to read other customers' firsthand experiences. There is also a
Canadian BOI forum. I'm not sure if we are allowed to link to other forums here, but FaunaClassifieds is easy to find via online search.
Other chameleon forums (like this one) have individual threads about pet stores, shows, and online dealers. A Google search can be very helpful. When you do decide on a source, don't be afraid to ask questions.
Good luck,
