My favorite is Ambilobe and I just got a Nosy Faly, as far as the fair is from a reputable dealer, if not i wouldn't bite. You can find good deals on the classifieds or sponsors and my favorite is Jims website as he hooks you up.

My favorite is the ambilobe, though I have never had one.

Meowkitty...Which is Jim's website? I will be getting a new cham in the next week or two. Would love to check that site out.

I went to a reptile show in the hopes of getting my first chameleon. The only ones they had were female ambilobes, and they were hatchlings. They had them in a tupperware bowl with wadded up grass for them to crawl on. No lights or anything on them. I ended up going with a breeder and getting one barely above a hatchling(although the one I got was a veiled). My point is, just be careful who you buy from. Sounds like you know are being smart about staying away from the sickly looking ones. Have you tried looking in the classifieds here? Good luck to you!

its from llreptiles so im not so worried about there health i have heard some good review from them and im actually thinking of getting the animoble there prettier

It's funny you say that! I have really been thinking about getting my new one from there. I actually called and spoke to them today and ask a few questions and they were really nice. I have heard good things about them. I wish we had cool companies come to our reptile show! Ours suck though! It's just a bunch of local people.

They do have pretty panthers there! Just be sure when you get your new cham, to post plenty of pictures!!

in new mexico we have zero reptile fairs, im glad as this town hosts some pretty sleezy people and id hate to see them trying to turn a profit at the expense of some animals.
I was going to get my Nosy Faly from him also but the timing was off and i got a the same deal from another member on here.
