“As for parking, everyone is welcome to park in the garage structure that is attached on the south side of the building. Later in the evening, the entrance gate may be closed but I have a card key to open it. Otherwise, there is plenty of street parking in front of the building.”
The "South Bay Chameleon Keepers" (SBCK) meetings are normally held on the last Tuesday of the month from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm. These free-of-charge meetings are pretty much free-flowing, with all chameleon topics open for discussion. "Show and Tell" discussions are common. We continue to have group bulk-buys (silkworms, hornworms, superworms, crickets, dubias etc.) at our meetings. Some members may be bringing these feeders to sell but that's not guaranteed. Let us know if you are looking for these feeders (or anything else) and we'll try to confirm availability (pre-ordering) before the meeting. Some keepers bring their chameleon books and magazines along with other various items to spark discussions. We also won’t stop you from bringing your chameleons, young and old, big and small. Just keep in mind that it is past their bedtime and that there is stress involved in the trip. So if you plan on bringing chameleons either for “Show and Tell” or for sale (pre-arranged sales are encouraged) just keep in mind your chameleon’s well-being J.

Don't hesitate to RSVP with an email to: [email protected] if you think you might be coming. Didn't RSVP? Come anyway!

On your way and got lost? For this meeting, call Dave Weldon on his cell phone# 310-600-4793.

Our group ranges from long-time breeders to novice keepers to people who are thinking about getting a chameleon for the first time. Lately, there have been 15-25+ members attending. There are usually new members at every meeting.

No guarantees but there are usually snacks and drinks brought in by some of the attendees. You’re welcome to bring some to share too!

See You There,

SBCK

(NOTE)
The www.chameleonforums.com has added a "Social Group" area that our SBCK members can associate themselves with by requesting an "Invite" (https://www.chameleonforums.com/groups/south-bay-chameleon-keepers.html). Our purpose for having the SBCK Group area on this Forum is to help SBCK members to keep track of who & how to contact other SBCK members. The term "Member" is used loosely to mean anyone who attends the free meetings. If you have no intention of ever attending any of the face-to-face meetings there is no benefit to being listed in the SBCK Social Group area and you will likely not be "Added" or kept in that list . This SBCK group area is not intended to replace the main Forum. Use the regular Forum area for all posts. Use the SBCK Social Group area as a means of locating other SBCK members to send PMs etc. Continue to use the latest monthly "Meeting Invite" posting as a place to post to the SBCK members that are also "ChameleonForums" members. There are still a few SBCK group members that are not yet Forum members but continue to receive their notices via the [email protected] emails. It also appears that, for the moment, Junior Member status on the ChameleonForums does not yet have enough "Permission Level" to join a Social Group.
 
Fruit Flies

I'm going to bring fruit fly cultures to this meeting.

Steve, I'll bring your praying monsters.
 
I am getting bugs tomorrow. I haven't heard back from anyone. I noticed in Dave's email he said.

Please return ASAP and no later than Friday July 25th by 2pm (unless Kevin changes the time).

He meant to put "Sunday July 25th":eek:. I know he was in a hurry today when he sent the email, so no worries! I m still taking orders until tomorrow around 2pm. If you don't make it by 2pm don't worry, send the request anyway, ill see if I can fill the order if I have extras.
 
Flightless fruit fly cultures are filling up with larvae so I can bring some good ones to the meeting. It's been an interesting month concentrating on making cultures. Ever since the last reptile show I have been working on different recipes and trying to find the best combination while only using organic ingredients. I've had a few flops but finally I found a good combination that works for me. And it's true, some recipes work better for some than others.

Regarding ChamEO T-shirts, I won't have them by the meeting, but will have them for the Reptile Show.

Also, I'm gathering up articles for the next ChamEO newsletter to be published in about 10 days. This is sooner than I had originally planned but anyone of you who wants to write an article about your chameleon breeding experiences, or whatever, please email it to me at [email protected] and don't forget to send a few hi-res photos.

Olowanpi, if you read this, I can bring your Mist King Starter Kit to the meeting or I can meet you in Glendale again to deliver.

And just to update everyone in general, Marty sent me a shipment of Mist King Starter Kits (modified with a few extras). Anyway, I don't know if the shipment will be here by the Tuesday meeting but I will have them available on my website and at the Reptile Super Show in Pomona on August 7th and 8th. The systems will be offered at a special price at the show. Not the same price as on my website. By the way, Dave and I are sharing a booth at this show.

Any proceeds from purchases for ChamEO helps pay for vet expenses and general care of rescues that we take in.
 
I have too many large silkworms so i'll be bringing some. If anybody needs dubias I can bring those too, just let me know. See you guys tomorrow!
 
I went to mulberry yesterday. I will have small hornworms, small and med silkworms.

Tylene, maybe we could trade silks? I could use some big one.
 
Going to be there. Got Rob's supers and crickets / Tylene's crickets / Elisa's big cups, and bag of montane. :cool:

I knew it! See Rob? And you thought I was being all testy with you. LMAO!!!

He wanted me to get crickets but I told him to double check with Steve to make sure he didn't already get them. Just because someone doesn't reply when you want them to doesn't mean they won't be reliable. Steve's the BEST!

Ok, I'm done giving you sh*t, but I just HAD to after that whole email exchange with you.

*giggle*
