I just ran into a lady that has a 25 yr leopard Geeko. I kid you not. 25 YEARS old. Should I demand her reptile secrets?!
Nothing to do with chameleons

That's so inspiring. I am so impressed by you and her! Keep up the good work!
I've been keeping/breeding lizards and turtles/tortoises for almost 30 years now. At one time I had over 100 in my house not counting babies. You know all I did all week? Cleaned cages, watered, fed them all. I don't know how I did it. I must have been crazy!!

Haha maybe not a hundred but that is my absolute dream to have a house full of animals. So far I got Tony my panther chameleon and my two beardies (male and female but I probably won't ever mate them, at least not in this year one we're experiencing together). The to do list includes: a kitten, a puppy, a skink, monitor lizard, parson chameleon, and a Jackson chameleon. Oh and a nice size aquarium (so like dream big or go home haha). But all in due time. My room sounds like I'm constantly camping from all the cricket chirps. At first it was annoying but now it's kind of nice.
I lived in the country until I was 9 and went to sleep listening to crickets and frogs every night in the warm weather.missed it when we moved into a town. Then I got to sleep with streetlights on and trucks driving/roaring down the highway.
CharlirCharming...that's quite a list!
I had several species of skinks and Parsons and lots of others. but stayed away from monitors because of their size.had to stay away from furry critters because of my daughter. Besides chameleons some of my favorite lizards were the leaftailed geckos, cone heads, forest chameleons/helmeted iguanas.

Yea it's a big dream lol. That's quite a list you have/had too. I really like iguanas but this lady I talked to once at the vet says that she frequently cuts her fingers or her toes on hers when she accidentally misteps and gets one of her iguanas spikes or when it gets excited and whips its tail. Haha. So they'll probably always be my love from afar animal.
Getting whipped by a big Iggie tail hurts and can cut you too. Their claws are wicked and their teeth are like razors. I had 5 stitches from one but it didn't bite me. I got whipped a few times too.
I've had beardies, water dragons, many gecko and chameleon species, cone heads, helmeted iguanas (aka forest chameleons), green iguanas, several species of uromastyx, a monkey tailed skink, glass lizard, several species of turtles,/tortoises, waxy monkey tree frog, etc.

Then I think you need to prepare yourself for my arrival. It's clear you are a animal guru and need to take me on as your apprentice. Haha
