I would join a chameleon club if someone started it. I belong to a reptile club here in clearwater and know of a turtle club that meets in the same building.
I'm down in bradenton, haven't seen a club around here in forever. The one that was around years ago was.................
My wife and I are in Tampa Bay surrounding areas all the time.
Hows the Clearwater club?
It a good club we meet every 3rd wednsday at 7pm. They always have a speaker coming in. Last meeting they had a guy do a talk on spiders and tarantula's. I hate spiders but after his talk I picked up a metellic pink toed tarantula at the tampa repticon.
I know of a few attempts at a Florida group, but the issue is that the state is just too big! The central location seems to be Orlando or Tampa, but for many that would be 4 to 5 hours away. There were even talks of rotating meeting sites, but the logistics would be difficult.
