Hello everyone – here is Ben and his harem (Gerri & Gracie)!

Wow! Outstanding animals! Are they from Doug Dix? Have you bred them yet or do you plan to do so in the future? Good luck if you do, you'll have some beautiful babies.

Great pics! I love the green ornates! How much do they cost about?

I picked all three up at the North Carolina Reptile Expo in Raleigh from dealer who lives in Florida. The expo was pretty sad.... very few reptiles that were unique or rare. These 3 were actually what I considered Best in Show. I went looking for a female Nosey Be Chameleon for my Max and a female Dwarf Panther Chameleon for my Zak! The only chameleons at the show were hundreds of veiled. Everyone was looking at these three Uros and passed them up because of the $500.00 price tag each. I wanted a male and a female (that were also from different parents). I bought Ben & Gerri for $700.00 and left Gracie at the show. When you go with cash you can negotiate much better when you wave it in front of the dealers' faces. That night I noticed that the 2 were very anxious and keep pacing the cage. The next day I went back to the show and poor little Gracie was also pacing her cage at the show. I keep walking by her cage and the vendor kept staring at me - then finally she called to me and said "You have to buy her - she is very upset at being alone." I had every intention of buying her - I just wanted a better deal! I bought her for $200.00 two hours later. Once I got her home - all three of them finally settled down and they have been very happy ever since. The best thing I have ever done!
