I haven't heard of them. But one of the things I look for is how young a breeder sells babies. I am suspicious of those who sell younger than 3 months old or who sell eggs. They are just too fragile when they're that young, and it makes me think they just want to turn around chameleons quickly without making the investment in raising babies.

Eric is a good friend of mine....he doesn't sell babies....nor do I......he sells eggs......along with chameleons.....an unhatched chameleon doesn't know any different of envirnment till it's born......is that cruelty?......I have near 100% success raising babies from egg... very very high........other breeders will know what I'm talking about....
I have not heard of anything bad about them. Are you considering an egg? If it were me an egg would not be my idea of a good time. Hatchlings are a ton of work and not something I would take on as a first time keeper. But if this is what your set on doing take a look and listen to this https://chameleonacademy.com/hatching-a-panther-chameleon-egg/

Glad to hear this! I don't think it's cruel to sell or hatch eggs, just makes me suspicious, because it's much harder to take care of babies / hatchlings for the general public.
And sorry to insinuate he sells babies, I worded that poorly. My intention was to share something I look out for and that raises my concerns when I see a new-to-me breeder.

He not only has amazing varity of chameleon's, but is extremely helpful and has been doing this for a long time. I was in the market for my first chameleon and he not only helped me find what I was looking for, but gave me critical tips for my cage that if I didn't know, my chameleon would not have adjusted so well. Now I am a couple days in with a chameleon I bought from him and my chameleon is doing amazing! I’m sure there are great online breeder but if you need someone who's got great experience and great customers support you need to go there. Not paid just so happy with my experience with him, wanted to leave a good review for anyone that was worried about Chameleons101.com like I was, don't worry I promise he's worth buying from. I would recommend emailing/ calling him, he was able to help me out extremely fast over the phone.
Erik is great. I consider him a friend of mine for a long time now he was actually where I acquired my first panther chameleon now I have nine he has walked me through everything from basic husbandry that I was learning elsewhere, but it’s always good to hear other opinions and the way they do things. Listen to everyone absorb all their information and choose what’s best for you and your chameleon. I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am with my chameleons probably if it wasn’t for him and he is the reason that I am now breeding chameleons out here on Long Island in New York. The other reason I started to breed chameleons is that when I needed a panther chameleon, I was worried about having it shipped. I wanted someplace local and the closest one that I found was like five hours away so that would’ve been a whole day trip, but I’ve ordered a chameleon from him in California That shipped at 3 o’clock New York time which was 12 West Coast time and FedEx was originally saying pick up by 12 o’clock. It was actually there and I was texted at 9 AM in the morning. I only live 3 miles from the FedEx hub at JFK so that’s also a benefit for me shipping chameleons I can go directly to FedEx UPS and USPS hubs that are directly associated with JFK airport which is probably the largest airport in the country.
