The master plan of cham keeping!

So, mychamtini and I have come up with a master plan, and we felt we should share it with the community!

We both love so many of the various chams, and cant decide on which ones we want most. SO, the idea is:

We will buy a piece of land, and build a customized building on it to house chams.
We will do breeding projects and keep the following cham species:
Nosey Falys, started by Glacier and my new girl, possbily some from her if/when she buys them
Nosey Be's
Mitsio's
Ambanja's
Ankify's
Ankarmy's
Parsons
Meller's
Hoehnelli's
K multi's
Quads
Derms
Oustelot's
Pygmies (of all kinds)
Giant Spiny
(i think thats all, though odnt be surprised if we add more to the list ;) )

This building will be customized to the hilt to care for them.


Esentially it will be a long hallway, with rooms on each side.

Each room will house 2 free ranged pairs of each species, and each species wil have its own room.
Each room will then be divided somehow so that no cahm can leaves its free range section. this way, no lines get crossed.

SO for example, room 1 wil have
Faly male A, Faly female A on one side
and Faly male B, Faly female B on the other side.

Then, once the females show signs of being gravid, aggression towards the male, or are about to/ have laid eggs, the girls will be seperated from the males, and housed in a seperate room, so they can lay in peace, or recover.

Each female will only be bred at max 2 times a year. and after a couple years will be retired.

We will then have another room in whcih all eggs are to be incubated.

And another room to house all babies in once hatched.

YEt anothe room will be for breeding the vast amount of bugs to feed them all.
Hornworms, Silkworms, roaches (yes me and roaches, i know) SUpers, Wax, Butter, And if at al possible, locusts/grasshoppers... Crickets. etc. enough to feed everybody. and hopefully to even sell.

We plan to get imports and create whole new bloodlines.. and everyone will want our babies!!

The building will have built in basking and uvb lights, and a built in misting system, humidifier, and cooling system (for the parsons to hibernate)

Of course, we will have to hire somebody (or two) to feed every one and take care of them, so we will of course have a small kitchen, bathroom, and office area.

each cham will get its on binder to store its vet records in, and breeding lines, etc etc.

SO whose in on helping??? lol...

Its a long ways off, if ever,, but its fun to dream right????
 
HA! My master plan / dream is quite similar!

Count me in! When you are ready to start, I'll need at least 3 hours advance notice to pack my things and get on the road! :D

DOne sauce! lol. and any species you want to add we dont have listed, we can add in other rooms... dont you worry! it shall be done!! haha..
 
It will be the bomb. And we will make it happen. I hope so anyway.

Awesome, we'll need all the help we can get. just don't know where we are putting it yet.

And I am getting the faly, just have to play the waiting game first.
 
thats a great dream

my dream is to have my own practice animal hospital and me the vet in charge, while next to my hospital is my animal/reptile store:D.

my dream home is a nice house with a huge back yard, (acres) filled with mullberry trees, avocados, oranges, limes my own building for chams and other reptiles a a hobbyist breeder

green house for plants,

a garden of fruits and veggies

and still enough space for a pool and for my dogs to play:D


this i know is a long shot but with hardwork i plan to get there
 
I had a very similar idea aswell, but it was for a more broad based project.

I've always wanted to build a huge metal building. I'm not even sure of the size. The size of an average show Barn if anyone is familar with showing livestock in Highschool. This would be between a 2 and 3 stories in height.

The top would have the ability to open and close depending on weather and would have many skylights for natural lighting. Basically it would need to be sealed off from the world. The floor of the massive structure would be dirt with a concrete barrier around the peremeter of aleast 4ft below the surface. Inside would be open and landscaped with a pond flowing into a river. The inside would be heavily planted to mimic a a rainforest with the same type of soil for forest floor. This would open up possibilities to house many tropical species of animals and observe them as a whole. ( thats why it would need to be as large as possible) I would only be looking to house animals that would co exist with others. Other features of heating mainly, and rain would be needed.

The rooms for the specialty projects, including office would be built around the "forest" like a loftstyle with most being up high either collectively on one side or around the peremeter.

I realize my senerio is much less likely than the one stated first, but I can dream can't I?
 
It would be cool once we all become filthy rich if we could come together and build a reptile research facility with it's own rainforest.
 
cham guy- i think your idea sounds awesome!

and we can all dream, that was the point of this thread. dream to your hearts content.

and yes lets all get rich and open a huge facility!!
 
thanks, and one of these days I am going to sit down and draw my ideas out.

I acctually have it worked out in my head like I have already been there.
 
You all fund it, and ill help build it and maintain everything!:D

NO ill build and maintain everything. do you have a universal certification to handle refrigerants?! i do. at the very least you can deal with building stuff i can do the climate control.

theres an abandoned greenhouse (BIG) down the street ive had my eye on for years. so yall should get some money together and move to Oaks PA.

we have all the amenities. movie tavern right down the street, just minutes away from the kop mall 3rd biggest mall on the east coast (i think, maybe in the US idk) and arnolds go karts!

so lets do this up! we will hold a monopoly on chameleon breeding and distribution!

WITH OUR POWERS COMBINED I AM CAPTAIN PLANET!

and then when we start making money we can buy and introduce big game into valley forge! maybe even get some mammoth hide and begin working on resurrecting the extinct! MWAHHAHAHAHAHA! do we have any genetic engineers in the crowd?

lets get some mega fauna back
 
we all could do this and own stoke in it while a few of us who live near take care of it and others can come visit. say whoever wants to "invest" has to do at least 1000 and anything above is gr8 and treat like a time share type thing. :rolleyes:

YES! I want to hold the monopoly on cham breeding! and I thin kthats a perfect idea!!!! lol.


and you can maintain it, well get you a helper of course, cuz once all those species are in there, its gonna take at least two peopple to do wellness checks daily, and feed them.. check for gravidness or eggs. etc.


ANd okiroo- that is a brilliant plan!!! so anyone who wnats to invest sign here!!!!!
 
Dekuscrub: nope i have no certs in that, but i do have experience so i could help ya!

Yeah sure i will be a helper Chamtini! I require a bedroom on site and 3-5 meals a day! Oh and redbull too:p
