Well, Sinatra is 8 months old and he was $350. Granted Screameleons had the nicest chameleons at the expo and other than the Sires he was the nicest one we saw we still think it's over priced. We got Shooter, our Ambilobe, from Chameleon Company for $200 (including shipping) and he was 2 1/2 months. All the other chameleons were pretty much the same price that you'll see from other breeders.
But all of the other items were definitely cheaper. We got the exo terra dual light fixture for linear bulbs for $110, about $50 cheaper. We got 500 crickets (1/2 inch) for $8, total steal if you ask me. The vines were pretty much the same price, saw a few for a few bucks cheaper. We saw people selling baby veileds for like, $20.. 2 of $30 etc. Lot's of cheap geckos and snakes. The expo was definitely worth it though. We had a great time.

I got one of the amilobe/abanja crosses from screamelons at the expo today. He had blue bars from gerard but he sold them all before the expo

I paid 269 for it. I got there around 10:30 maybe a little earlier. He had 3 males I bought one and a young guy and his girlfriend bought the other 2 as I bought the one.

Weird, we were there around the same time, maybe closer to 11:00. I guess they got scooped up really fast! We were so glad to get Sinatra though. There was a family that was looking at him so we walked to other vendors, came back, the family was still deciding and looking at other chams so Sean jumped in and said "I want that one" and we paid and left. The wife of the family was definitely bummed and we thought the husband would argue to get him but he just said, "You snooze you lose". So glad!
