Hello to everyone. I have been a longtime lurker, and thought it high time to join the forum. I have been a longtime fan of reptiles. Over the years I have owned a few different species, mainly snakes. All but a few Corn snakes were foster children. That eventually found new loving homes. When I first got involved with that, I was shocked at all the neglected abandoned reptiles around. It is/was rewarding knowing I was making a difference.
Anyway,
I have always been fascinated by all the different chameleon's out there. I remember seeing my first Veiled Cham in person back in the early 90's. It was at the East Bay Vivarium near San Francisco Ca. I was told that only the most advanced keeper, who could afford the expensive equipment could care for them properly. And with a price tag of $350 each I just admired from a distance. Over the years I soaked up all the reading I could find on everything Chameleon related. A few years ago I lucked into a baby male Veiled, and was surprised to find the needed equipment at a reasonable price. Two years along, and Tyrion is doing just fine. So I must be doing something right. I just today got a male Ambilobe Sambava cross from 3L. Also a pair of R Temporalis. It really is addicting, in a good way. Well thanks for hanging on my every word! Lol I am looking forward to being a productive member of this great forum. Thanks, Dave K, Boise Idaho...
