Question about traveling with Chameleon.

[Fiona's Mom]

Planning on taking a trip from Florida to north to visit family. We have a camper and hope to take Fiona with us. Might extend trip to Canada. I know there are several Canadians on here, any knowledge on crossing the border with a Chameleon?

Trace has a blog about that. I don't think you can take her into Canada. I'll see if I can find the blog for you.

My chameleon said to me the other day : "What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? - it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies...Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road..the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”

That is one intelligent Chamelion you have there. Love the way it feels the same as I. On the other hand...my Chamelion just tells me to feed her and hand over my money.

You won't be able to cross a border with your chameleon. Don't even think about smuggling her acriss, By all means take her, but don't take her across any borders.

Thank you for your help....I think to be on the safe side if we decide to crops over to Canada I have 2 very experienced sources where she can be boarded....I think over all it will be less stressful for her. Traveling that many miles over a month's time could cause her demise. Don't want to do that to her.

Decided to board her.... month traveling in a camper might stress her out and I have two very good experienced options for boarding her. Thanks for your help.

East of Minnesota.

 

[KapitalJ]

So?? Southern Ontario?

 

[Fiona's Mom]

Yes...

So?? Southern Ontario?

Maybe as far as Niagara Falls then back to Florida.

 

[KapitalJ]

Nice... the Falls are amazing, I have spent many hours fishing the Niagara river. I am about 1:15 from there.

That isn't even half of it. You need a CITES permit ($), Port Exemption Permit (more $) and inspection from US Fish and Wildlife. About $500 worth of fees EACH WAY.
