Uncle!!!!!

So I found this site--tidbits of info really but it did help http://lawrencehallofscience.org/foss/fossweb/teachers/materials/plantanimal/ladybutterfly.html I found out that you can make a 'wick bottle' filled with humming bird food. I took an small Tang container (ya know the plastic...

I know these won't but I figure we got 'em so we might as well make the most of 'em. I gotta get some....what-cha-call it...hollyhock or something like that for them to lay eggs on. These are gonna be our 'starters' I already have read some of her stuff, it is really informative. Gonna have...

getting together prices for kristy now(i'm chris btw) 'Coning' her into it took all of ten words and a look at ya'lls posts,lol. Oh...guess what 'hatched'? Got four painted ladies! Came out just a couple hours ago! Totally unprepared to use them to start a colony tho. The care sheet...

So I just wanted to say YA'LL ARE GREAT!!!! That said thanks to everyone who answered my questions over the last day or so. Everyone was so very helpful and we are looking forward to joining the cham community! My wife and I have already talked and I convinced her it would be benefitial...

Thanks for your responses. The time issue was something I was concerned about and in reading this we will probably start a feeder breeding program before we even get our cham so we won't have to worry about doing everything all at once. This way we can have a steady supply of goodies...

Ok so doing some more research and I found something not only cool as hell but, a bit ironic. I have ten painted butterfly cocoons near ready to 'hatch' right now! The boy's "Gammy" bought them a couple weeks ago just as something neat to have. Looks like I'm gonna breed in the end after...

Thank you everyone! I am actually looking at the sponsors now and have decided this is not something I am going to persue unless(read until,lol) we get more than one or two chams

You sure are helping me a bunch Julirs. I should have said that I am kind of a ways from any 'supplyhouse' I guess, and I don't want to have to order food off the net all the time. The nearest petshop is about an hour drive from me and I was thinking about breeding feeders mainly as a...

LMAO Julirs.....more likely it'll be me who can't get enough! I tend to....overdo it when I get a new project into my head and this is no exception I think. I mean if you lived in a cage for the majority of your life wouldn't you want it to be just.....awesome? When I started looking into...

We are thinking about buying a cham and we come to the part the wife is squimish about....bugs! I don't really care one way or the other besides having to shell out money on the regular but what are the pros/cons of breeding the different kinds of feeders? -How much space do I need to be...

Thanks everyone for your responses. Should have know this would evolve into more than a discussion about colors,lol. Not that I mind, just wish I would have come up with a different title for the thread! We are by no means leaping into ownership of a cham and my wife and I have already agreed...

That cleared alot up for me thanks Frank. This is totally going to be a 'family' pet, with me and my wife being primary caregivers. It was his idea so we both thought we would give it our best to find out all the information we could before jumping up and getting one. In a whole are...

Yeah we have already come to terms that we will be the primary caregivers. He's only 5 so he won't be having too much direct contact with it until he can really understand the importance. We have a red-eared slider turtle that has been thriving for more than a year after we bought it and both...

Thanks for the response brad. My wife and I have been leaning towards a veiled for him, mainly because of the price and other sites we have looked on recommend the species as a good starter as you have but I wanted to know a bit about the coloring of chameleons in a whole thank you for...

My oldest boy has asked me and my wife recently for a cham a fav critter of his, the main reason being because he likes how they change colors. That said I wanted to know: for what reasons will they change colors and which species have the most drastic changes in color? Pics would help...

and here I am, lol. My name is chris and I live in east texas with my two boys and my wife. Found this fine forum on his favorite critter and am having a good time looking through all of the posts. I already have plenty of questions but wanted to make my presence known before I got started.
