Is anyone here into chameleons? I'm having such a hard time finding people locally. Sure, I know several throughout the world but what about in my neck of the woods. I live in San Fernando Valley and keep several chameleons. I have geckos too but I'm a cham-addict!

I have only been to two meetings since our family joined the SWHS. The January and August meetings.

BTW, I bought a standingii day gecko from someone in SWHS and forgot his name. I need to return his critter carrier. I'll bring it again to the September meeting. So, if you know who you are, look for a woman with really short blonde hair carrying your critter carrier. Thanks!

So, if anyone is into chameleons, please email me at lotzorox@yahoo.com. I can't be the only one with chameleons.

Found Chameleon - My mailcarrier brought over a calyptratus that he found crossing a street. I'm sure it's unlikely that we will ever find out who lost him but it's worth a try. Whoever kept this chameleon took really good care of him. He just ran away and wasn't gone very long. Apparently he's been eating well, isn't injured and has a very strong bite. That I can personally attest to. Ouch!

Elisa,
Hi, unfortunatly (at the moment) I do not have any chameleons. I used to keep Jacksons Veilds and a couple other common chameleons. I was interested to know if you have ever used the "cageless enclosure" that LLL Reptiles sells on their website? Its basically two bowls, one at the top and one at the bottom. They are seperated by vines and branches. Supposedly, this gives the little buggers pleanty of room to roam but they can't climb beyond the two bowls. I would imagine that the hardest part of something like that would be the heat and UVB. However it looked like a really eye appealing way to house chameleons. Good luck finding other cham-aniacs! See you (and your critter cage) at the next meeting!

) Oh gee thanks! The critter cage will be right by my side.

I have seen those chameleon condos and I don't like them. I've tried something similar but as you mentioned, it's nearly impossible to give a chameleon all it needs in such an enclosure. Screened cages work best.

We have a meeting coming up in a couple of days. See you soon.
