Hello everyone my name is Drew. I wanted to start this post by telling you all a bit about myself and my new passion for this fascinating species.
I am 20 years old and I admit am new to the chameleon. I begun doing research into them from a reptile magazine I was reading at the beginning of this year. I quickly purchased some books and visited some local reptile stores trying to my expand my knowledge base. One of the pet store clerks recommended this website as a great place to learn. Which I could not thank him enough for the advice.
Now 3 months later I have a happy pardalis ambilobe from a Kammer Kreations who is fantastic. He is always actively exploring his enclosure and is growing like a champ. Pics to come when my new camera arrives.
When he is big enough he will be moving to a more expansive enclosure to suit his needs and I will have an empty enclosure to fill. Which has brought me into the discussion of the nosy faly because that is going to be my next project. Whom is in a current predicament that needs to be resolved on all levels, from novice keeper to national breeders. To put it in short, this locales blood lines and branding as such needs to be monitored.
There have been many posts put up of late regarding this specific issue. And I am posting this to bring to light the true heart of this issue, not the arguments that have gone on in the past days. If disagreements are raised the please do so in a professional matter.
I am not meaning to discredit, only to as to keep this specific post from becoming a cage match. All things aside this locale is in risk of losing its purity. This is a very unique chameleon!
This specific locale is not located on the main island of Madagascar, it is found on an island located off of the west coast of the island near near Ambanja. This means that this chameleon evolved on a different scale from any of the mainland spiecies. Quite frankly when I am looking to buy a faly i am looking to find a very qunique and rare species and am willing to pay as such. I want to know the bloodline and pictures of the parents to make sure it is pure to the best possibility. For crosses they can have truely stunning colors. But from a conservationalist standpoint or future breeder, pure blood lines are vital. This is a fact that we cannot ignore And I would hope that you all can see from a beginner to an experienced keeper. That we all need to take the time to keep accurate records to help keep this unique locale alive.
