Heart breaking! That is why as a child in South Africa my family and I would go out during droughts and collect chameleons, bring them home and feed and water them and let them go again!

So you've always been involved with chams then. I guess I should have figured that. We're they mostly cape dwarf chameleons or were there a lot of species where you grew up?

Started with the Bradypodion Transvaalense and the Flap Neck chameleons from birth to age 13 then we move to a area that got very cold in the winter. There it was a completely different looking Flap Neck that would survive the freezing winters. When I went off to college it was at Somerset West in the Cape. There it was the Cape Dwarf and a few other hardly known species! My absolute favorite is the Cape Dwarf! I bread them and raised the babies for a few months and released them in to the wild during the prime bug season! It was illegal to have them as pets but survival is so hard for them that I could not resist! When I left the area I released my breaders in to the wild again.
