(Haven’t been to one of our free meetings yet? What are you waiting for!)
The South Bay Chameleon Keepers organization will be having a special meeting on Saturday, August 27 from 2PM to 5PM. We will be hosted by Dr. Tom Greek at Greek and Associates Veterinary Hospital in Yorba Linda, California. Those of us in the chameleon community know how hard it is to find a good reptile veterinarian, much less one experienced with chameleons! Some of our members have been going to Dr. Greek for over a decade. He has treated everything from a Brookesia perarmata to Calumma parsonii! If you'd like a tour of the inside of a chameleon feel free to take a look at the article he authored for the Chameleons eZine on Necropsy Examination (http://chameleonnews.com/02MayGreek.html). This is a great opportunity to have an informal discussion with someone who knows the medical ins and outs of chameleons.
RSVP with an email to: [email protected] and let us know you'll be joining us. We'll send you detailed directions, contact phone number, and various internal orders of business.

Hey, wait a minute! Who are you and where is Dave!??!? Ah, good question. My name is Bill Strand and I am going to be helping Dave with logistics and to arrange these meetings. Don't worry, you'll still see him at the meeting!
The South Bay Chameleon Keepers organization is made up of keepers from all over Southern California from Lancaster to Riverside to San Diego. 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 travel is a disruption 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
.
Our group ranges from long-time breeders to novice keepers. Lately, there have been 10-25+ members attending. There are usually new members at every meeting.
See You There,
SBCK
(NOTE)
The www.chameleonforums.com has added a "Social Group" area that our SBCK members can associate themselves to 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 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 part of the group and you will likely not be "Added" or kept in this Social Group list . This SBCK group area is not intended to replace the main forum. Use the regular Forum area for all posts. Use the SBCK group area as a means of locating other SBCK members to send PMs etc. Continue to use the latest monthly "Meeting Invite" Forum thread as a place to post to the SBCK members that are also "ChameleonForums" members. There are still a few SBCK members that are not yet Forum members but continue to receive their notices via the [email protected] emails. It also appears, for the moment, that Junior Member status on the ChameleonForums does not yet have enough "Permission Level" to join a Social Group.
