I went to the show and came to the conclusion that I should stop going to shows.
I came home with this funny looking chameleon Ha Ha Ha.

Sonia,

Great looking cham! *LOL*
Is it a northern? Ours BTS was a hoot, he was so spoiled! He ate scrambled eggs, veggies, cooked chicken and even banana slices.

He was breeding age, and leaving sperm plugs everywhere, so we recently found a fellow breeder to take him and offer females. I hear he is responding well. Maybe we will get another baby someday.

Shows are definately dangerous... especially if you have a booth and you see all the neat stuff to buy! Thankfully, we do only 2 shows a year - otherwise we would be in more trouble! This last show, hubby came back to our booth carrying a uromastyx pair.

Have fun with your BTS....

He is a Northern. I went as a "spectator" and came back with a new pal. I'ts a good thing I only do this as a hobby so I only attend the tampa shows twice a year. I can't imagine the temptation of having a booth and being there all day for the whole weekend. I would need a larger house. I hope it's a girl. Sperm plugs don't sound like fun. I guess if it's a boy I will have to get him a girl friend. LOL

Great - I thought it was a northern - so is Matty.
Sperm plugs are a natural thing for many male reptiles... even the chams have them if not mating on a regular basis.

Our Matty was almost 3 years old - he needed to have a lady friend.

Have fun - they can be great pals!

Oh you poor thing! Well, just to let you know you can find a mate for your "Chameleon" If you wanna drive up to Atlanta 22nd and 23rd this month. Cuetto is having his show here. How was the Tampa show? This was the first year we didn't go in 3 years. We are absolutely stoked as this is the only show held in atlanta.Hopefully, i won't get bitten by a "Chameleon" bug!
Your blue tongue is beautiful!

The show was ok but it wasn't the greatest chameleon show.
Masterpiece geckos had beautiful leopard geckos.
There was not a big selection of crested geckos (color wise).
Mother Gecko and Dragons 4 you had nice beardies.
I got my BTS at Ben Seigel who had a good selection of different kinds of Snakes and lizards.
There were lots of very nice snakes in different booths.
I love my BTS but he is a bit young yet to be able to sex him or her.
