SoCal Chameleon Hunt

[melric]

Alright so I'm starting this thread for the Socal members who want to go chameleon hunting with me. Based on previously posted info we should start in Laguna Beach. Anyone with an awesome camera would be cool too. Come on people you know you wanna!

 

[robjrussell]

HELL YES! - I have a D80 but only a 18-135 2.8-5.6 lens.. so not the best lens.

 

[jlemond]

Definatly. But not till April when work settles back down for me.

 

[melric]

So that makes four of us including myself and prettyinink87. Let's see if anyone else wants to join. I figure the larger the group the easier it would be to spot something so rare.

 

[jlemond]

Dbl post. I pad troubles.

 

[ju5t1n]

My girlfriend and I might be down to go we live in long beach!

 

[jcal]

i missed the previous info. are there wild chams at the beach or something

 

[melric]

This is the thread we gathered some info on and some interesting links. If anyone has any additional info to add that would be great! So I think there is 6 of us now.

Being stuck with a walker or in a wheel chair sucks........... well that and living in the northeast...

PS. May want to look into laws in your state too, just to make sure they don't require a license. Some states do even for none native species.

I live in AZ and would make the drive out to take part in this do you all have dates set up?

 

[jcal]

cool. count me in.

 

[melric]

No dates yet. Trying to get a group together first and then we could all agree upon a date.

Arizona is kinda far. We might not find anything, but you're welcome to participate!

 

[PrettyInInk87]

Ok, so my bf and I are down... Have to look for a babysitter though. Lol!

Back together I see? lol. Cool, I'm thinking at least 10 people before we set a date.

 

[PrettyInInk87]

Yeah, we had to work it out for our son.

 

[sdheli420]

well count me in..im down to go look at bushes and hopefully find some jacksons..even if we dont find any, it would be fun bs-ing about chameleons for a day....so where are you thinking morro bay...san luiz obisbo?? i read those posts you had...29 years is a good amount of time for a small group of jacksons to get pretty big..im betting i will find a good one for some photo shoots..

 

[bradleymarky]

you guys are so lucky to have chams on your doorstep, the only things we see in the trees are leaves and plastic bags
