hey i was wondering if anyone knew of any meller breeders on the west coast cause my birthday is coming up here in a few weeks and thats what i wanna get myself for my birthday present!!!
 
Well you could have one shipped to you when one is available. I was told that fl chams might hatch out some sometime around november. Or you could try and go to the Pamona reptile show in August, there may be a mellers for sale there. Before you buy one though, did you do your research? Do you have its cage all setup, its temps exactly right and what not?

yup i visit the meller site quite frequently!!!:) i've looked on kingsnake and they have meller babies but i'm from the west coast so i wanted to get one from a west coast breeder not from east coast especially in this heat i would not want to have one shipped so far:(
 
The ones on kingsnake I beleive are only 3 weeks old, I wouldn't buy any of those. A good breeder wouldn't sell a cham that is under 2 months old. I'm not sure any west coast breeders have melleri available right now though :\
 
i suggest waiting dude

make sure they are CB or at the least CH... meller babies are hard to come by, but if oyu want an already adult mellers , then try fauna, kingsnake, and other sponsors for well accimilated WC , mellers

good luck

im actually waiting and hoping to get potential CB/or CH later on

call eliot or sandy at nw chameleons. they have a nice breeding group.
 
there are very few melleri 'breeders' or companies that focus on breeding melleri. There are people who get lucky with a gravid WC female and hatch the eggs... and there are those who have put in their time and kept melleri long enough to establish a colonie and had success breeding them. They aren't like panthers and veileds, they don't just breed. It takes a lot of work. You will have to just keep your eye out and do research on what melleri are available. But mostly, they are WC. I am not sure why you don't want a WC melleri. If your care is any good, you'd be doing them a big favor in taking one in and making sure it has a healthy life. A lot of WC melleri do not land in homes where the keeper has much clue of how to maintain them. I have zero issue with either WC or CB or CH, I have all three. but mostly my melleri clan is WC, and they are great.

i would give a wc meller a good home its just my preference no to support those companies that bring them in from out of the country.
 
I can respect that. I just don't think they will ever stop importing them unless there is some sort of ban... and then you'll see the price sky rocket and then there will be a black market for them....
