Ok I got to respond to this but under a totally different light! Replace the Importer with a Mass quantity Chameleon pusher (seller) Not an actual breeder, but a pet store or organization within our borders that are pushing product (chameleons) by mass numbers, for mass profit! And to top it off, selling to unknowlageable, untrained people, without the concerns of the chameleons lifespan after the sale! This is happening on a large scale right here around us with both CB & WC. I am to state, that, "what I am saying does not at all apply to the serious loving caring breeders that are out there." The ones I talk of are most always not the ones that usually actually breed the amimals. But only buy the Chams to resell at large profits by moving mass quantities! Some poeple on these forums purchased animals from these so called dealers, and thats why they are here trying to learn and understand how to care for an animal that was not properly represented and understood by even the seller. A greater % of these animals sold are dead within months of the sale. Hmm? ask the chameleon babysitter here that just got involved with the forums, how the Cham they babysitted was to have lived and almost inevitably would have died if they had not have been involved! Good thing they stepped in and CARED<> Thanks need lots more like you out there.
Just a different side to this thought?
