Ok BUT everyone took it as the OP did not know anything about breeding or chameleons. ASSUMING is what caused everything to go downhill. He chose to rehome his males before the move. No one new the entire story and he did not need to tell it.
While some may not agree that him looking for a stud is a good idea why attack him for it? I have seen in the forums where people will hook up with another breeder to add new blood to their line... No one gets angry with that.
Last time I checked it took a minimum of 9 months for eggs to even hatch once laid... you don't think that is enough time to build cages and set up his breeding program again?
This is the perfect example of why people do not ask for help here. They read threads like this and feel that it is not a safe environment to do so.
Not to mention the children that we have in the forum. How is this behavior a good example for them?
This is not how WE as a community should be representing this forum. I will leave it there.
No one cared whether he had bred before or not. That was never in question.
What was in question was the fact he did not have the cages or the insects to feed baby Chams.
You can hatch panther eggs, in 5-6 months. Which he just said he plans to do. That's not the healthiest way, but you can.
He stated, he doesn't have his cages or his insects, and Salty said you should probably have that before breeding. And he is right, and No I am not going to bet the life of 30+ baby Chameleons on the fact this guy is going to build the cages.
Life happens, stuff comes up, and those cages might not get built. What salty said wasn't rude, at all. He was simplying giving advice.
The assumption that he has prior knowledge left when his behavior deviated into calling people socialists and screaming about fake news. That's not mature experienced adult behavior.
No one was attacking him, until he began to attack others. He most likely is just here to troll. The fact that he has been registered for 3 years and his first post is to borrow a chameleon, speaks miles to his intentions and character imo.
Besides that, were you not the one that just told someone that their 16x16x24 cage was too small? Because it wasn't for sure they could get a bigger one in time? Now are mad at as for doing the same, on a much much larger scale? We Re not talking a single cage here, we are talking thousands of dollars of caging lights and bugs to care for these babies.
Ya maybe he could raise them in a cage or 2, and what happens when 6, don't sell by the 4 month or the 5th or the 6th?
