No idea if this was mention before in this thread, but following a link here i ended up seeing this thread:

That SERIOUSLY made me LOL , hahaha...
@squeekz1992 , if you think you got it bad, try putting your self in the...
By the time i decide to do what i want to do, i may even have the proper CITES licence... as i told you, i'm still not ready for a different step... i just enjoy raising mine.
i dont think anyone involved would be able able to identify a baby common from a baby veiled, especially if i take adult Veileds with me.. Anyway, my purpose so far is just to help the chameleons by breeding them and releasing them, all those i posted are hypothetical, i cant possibly know what...
if i ever come to america, i'm bringing some with me. There is no law against taking them with you, as long as they are not wild animals, and are used to the human contact.
and a baby Mediterranean chameleon looks almost EXACTLY like a Veiled baby. I dont think many people can tell them apart...
yep... it's more appropriate too, cause they only live in islands and countries near the mediterranean...(at least in the wild). The name of this thread it Common chameleon though, it really should have been Mediterranean.
actually i'm from Cyprus :D
and trust me , i love and admire those creatures.. the only reason i would keep some is to either help them survive, or in the future, repopulate.. ;)
and there's nothing illegal in the matter, as my dad's work is to protect the endangered species in Akama's forest...
I'm from Europe, and where i live they are in the wild :D
i found them when they were REALLY young , (couldnt be older than 2-3 days old, and they were still together!)..
Many people kill them here, because of a stupid myth of them being dangerous..
including the 1 i currently have, i've had...
hahaha.. agreed!!
the only horned chams she likes are Mt.Kenya jacksons, and with big "noses" (like fischers, kinyongia in general) .. well.. i believe none.. :D
Male velied , red-blue panthers , female carpets and red rudis = favorites..
This is me with my gf.. she doesnt own a cham, but she's a big fan of some species (panther, rudis, veiled, crested ) , while others not so much ( mellers, fischers, derementis).. xD
@batmancumming, well, your translation's is 100% accurate, but it does make sense :D
You see, the greeks , cypriots, Cretes, etc, have only 1 species of chameleon..
The Mediterranean Chameleon.. which -Trust me, it's a Fiesty one :D
Even if you find a baby, it WILL bite, avoid you, try to...
haha... well :D
i hope u at least understood my point... Furcifer PARDALIS is correct,
the common name though, Panther, well.. not so much :D as the specific chameleon is indeed, VERY colorful
actually, Pardalis means Colorful in Greek ;) (Παρδαλό)
leopard, in greek = Leopardali, or Λεοπάρδαλη, which is a compound word (from the combination of Leon, and Pardali).. so in a few words, a colorful Lion...
I know it doesnt make much sense, but hell, no idea what he had in mind...
yeah he doesnt look crazy about the camera, when they get black it means fear/stress/anger... i meant zoom, but ok, since ur phone cant zoom any more..;)
A "trick" to get them to like u... not really.. they just need their time to get used first to the new environment/habitat, and then to the...
First reptile, and u chose a chameleon :D
You have a lot of reading to do, and this forum is the best to get ALL the information you need! (about supplies, habitat, behavior etc)
Btw, looks like a female to me, but i could be wrong.. maybe a few more photos could help..;)
I believe you can ship live animals via UPS, but you will HAVE to choose 1 day shipping... this option (which i too just learned about) , could help alot!
