Chameleon Enthusiast
So after 3 years of just being in the weeds , I finally got another chameleon.
The breeder is local and very inexperienced at breeding, but not at keeping Chameleons.
I managed to grab a baby for $50.
He is selling them for $250 though.
and $125 Females
I traded 5 NanoBreeze Cages, a which I paid $10 for them Brand new.
Breeder does have difficulties sexing them, but Said if it turns out to be a female, I could exchange.
I have experience with Jacksons and Veileds But not panthers..
Here is a quick Husbandry Check
