Animal Hoarding?

[eisentrauti]

Wow, some people on here have a ridiculous volume of animals!! I'm jealous

Here's what I keep (no longer keep chameleons, though I do have 10 pardalis eggs in incubation)

1.1 Phelsuma klemmeri
1.1 Phelsuma breviceps
1.1 Phelsuma grandis
1.3 Phelsuma guimbeaui
1.2 Phelsuma cepediana
1.1 Phelsuma standingi
1.1 Phelsuma lineata

I kinda' have a thing for day geckos...

Great collection ! I bet the klemmeris are your No.1 right ? They are my favs in this genus, so small but without any fear !

Hoarding is such a "nasty" term. I like to refer to it as having an aggregation of treasures!!!

Haha, thank you. Yes, klemmeri are amazing, inquisitive too! The breviceps are also a very bold species, it's almost like they want you to anger them!

My list has slimmed down since the move (rehomed the fish and newts, and the 7+-year-old frog died shortly beforehand); is now:
1 male Ambanja panther chameleon
1 female veiled chameleon
1 leopard gecko
1 tiger salamander

At my "peak", I had a different panther, no veiled, 12 brevs (10 hatchlings/juvies), leo, salamander, Oregon newt, paddletail newt, Spanish ribbed newt and 14 fish, give or take.

I anticipate getting a gargoyle gecko in October, and will be slowly readying the 55 gallon tank for occupancy again over the next several months.

current pet list:
5 veiled chameleons
3 panther chameleons
13 pygmy chameleons
15 crested geckos
2 leopard geckos
2 bearded dragons
1 green anole
2 cats
1 shetland sheep dog
and a 60 gallon fresh water fish tank

You are addicts not hoarders...so, fill in the blank and say this...“My name is ____, and I’m a chameleonaholic.”

I'm recovering from reptile-aholicism...I used to have 120 a few years ago and am down to less than 40 now!

LMAO !!!!! I'm still in denial. I'm not an addict. Besides, I don't even have 40 yet!!

 

[Syn]

I'm sorry but this deserves a ReptiholicsAnonymous club.

 

[kinyonga]

You are right Syn...and Frogg...you need to get past the denial!

LOL...reptile-aholicism Good one!!

 

[FroggtheCham]

I don't need a 10 step program!! I just need 10 more chameleons!!! I don't see a problem here!!!

 

[kinyonga]

Frogg..I don't think 10 will be enough for you!

 

[FroggtheCham]

Frogg..I don't think 10 will be enough for you!

hehehehehe!!! Boy I'm in trouble!! There are way too many people getting to know me way too well!!!

 

[Syn]

I'll take 40.

 

[kinyonga]

I'll bet you'd take 40 of an kind of reptile Syn!
You might get a reputation, Frogg!

 

[Syn]

I think I'm way past 40. There are only a few species I'd take that many of... chameleons would not be one of them - unless I could resell them immediately.

A reputation??? Me?? Naw!! You must have me confused with someone else!

I'm quite certain you do have more than 40!! I'll take the chams for you!! You know, to help a friend out!!!
