i would think kammerflage, chameleon paradise, screameleons and blue beast have the best chameleons ive seen. there are always others though that have some great chams available.

1.1 Carpet Chameleons (Furcifer Lateralis Lateralis) - (12/05 & 01/06)
1.0 Ghost Phase Leopard Gecko - (12/15/02)
0.1 High Yellow Leopard Gecko - (06/17/02)
0.1 Blizzard Leopard Gecko - (4/14/04)

Agreed. I have bought chams from a couple of those guys, and I've never had a single problem. And the ones I havn't bought from, I've talked to on a couple of different occasions and they definately all know there stuff. One other I'd like to throw in there is the chameleon company. He's got a ton of killer stuff as well.

I've delt with FL chams (that's where I purchased my veiled from) and he is very Knowledgable and informative. If you're looking for a gorgeous little turqoise or sunburst Veiled, I would reccomend him.

As far as Panthers go, I would recommend the following: Chameleon Paradise, Screameleons, BlueBeast Reptile, Kammerflage creations, Prism Chameleons, ChamCO, and Cruzin' Chameleons...

LOL! Not a hypocrite, it was very intentional, thus in CAPS
Well, she maybe was smart not getting one at the show. Impulse buys and all. You now have more time to look around, be humble and learn a bit more from the forum and elsewhere. Remember to look at the sites linked from the link below. I am sure you have a good idea of what breeder you will purchase from, but do all your homework (for school as well as chams

Do you have a p/t job where you help with the expenses of having a new cham? I always wonder how the "under working age" kids manage the expense of having herps, whihc my mom would help me! lol!!

Lele,

i am no noob to chameleons! My dad kept them! He has since moved out so i will be keeping them all on my own. I know what im getting into and this was not goin to be an impulse buy! I have done research and i do have experience with them!

As for p/t job, i do labor around the neighboorhood. I mow lawns, clean pools, and remove weeds and un wanted plants. I have found some awesome bushes people dont want and have used them in lizard cages with great sucess. I dont have an allowance cause all of my cash goes towards paying for crix.

Im planning on getting a p/t job at LLL reptile soon....

Hey Eric,

I know you had mentioned that you and your Dad had kept them before, but you also had some losses that possibly could have been avoided. Don't take that as a negative comment or judgement, just an observation.

So LLL is going to hire you? That would be cool - discount on supplies?? JK

I am sure you will let us know when the big event happens and look forward to pics!

Had an extra 6 hundred and something bucks in my lizard FUND

Your doing really well Dude, should have that chameleon in no time. Just tell Mom you think you would be interested in going to college for herpetology, and maybe she will support your hobby more.

Oh my I'm being a TROUBLE MAKER, LOL

I just love "DA LIZARDS"
My lizards & More
