There is one aspect of this hobby that is truly back asswards if you ask me. And that is the disparity in pricing of chameleons. In most cases with the exception being parsonni and a cpl of other species. You can buy rare species of chameleons cheaper than a commonly found and bred pardalis. The low prices of imports has negatively impacted this hobby. Because people who actively try to get a breeding project off the ground often find that they cant sell their cb offspring for enough $$$ to cover their outgoing costs associated with such an endeavor.
There are several less popular and rare species I have been drawn too over the yrs and would have liked to start a project with. Unfortunately, as a small business owner I tend too look at the bottom line as far as my economic loss i will incur tackling such a project. Ive also seen how even forum members have complained about the prices of cb species other than panthers. Also seen how hard it is for some members to sell these healthy cb offspring. I see people recommending to others to go with cb whenever possible then those same people will go buy an imported cham to save $$$. As opposed to buying that higher priced cb thats in the classifieds.
