My alien arrived

[pssh]

Right? I liked bugs when I was younger, but grew out of it until I really started keeping chameleons and culturing the bugs for them. Now I keep bugs that aren't even for the chameleons! I can be seen swinging a butterfly net around wildly in the fields by my house or digging through the bushes looking for stuff around the neighborhood. My friends all come to me asking what kind of bug they took a picture of or if something is bad/dangerous. Or my favorite, "Hey I saw this bug and thought of you."

You would have had to been there in the beginning to understand the true horror Little Leaf has for roaches and the level of dedication she has for her chameleons. I thought she was going to bolt out of the house the first time I was digging through her roach bin getting what I needed and flinging them into the container. She really really didn't like them. And the look on her face when I brought a hisser over for her to care for because they move slower and I thought it would help. But the chameleon she got was eating roaches so she buckled down and did what was necessary because her chams are that important to her. Before she got her chams she said she would never get roaches and now she has more than one species.

Awesome creatures for sure!! But not to rain on the parade or anything but those are a big no no without the proper permits don't get me wrong I'd love to have a large group but cannot, so if you you are without the proper papers I would avoid posting pictures on public forums.... Just sayin

These came in legally from Europe, properly papered. A lot on the pricy side but sometimes you get what you pay for. The guy I got them from is a very good friend here in the states. He sent me one of his with a ton of other things I bought.

To all the forum members. Most of you know me and know I would NEVER get someone into Chameleons or bugs. Cheryl just says things about me and blames me for everything so Dave won't kick her out of the house. She lives in Ohio, I live in Montana. I never ever talk to people outside of Montana.........

your a goofball , but I love ya !! well, in a way it IS you fault - lol you made me brave enough to keep those roaches, even tho I could not sleep, and got up every hour thew the night to make she the lids, and 6 locks were on for a month - and when I almost hit a semi head on because I was so convinced one was on my leg while I was driving....but now I fear not ( well, I fear the big females but if you EVER send me a red runner...YOU BETTER RUN !
