Don't give up!!! We're counting on you Humming birds are cool though

 

[melric]

We're tired. We need more people and bigger lights next time. Time to go home. Oh and we saw frogs and grasshoppers. And it had a great ocean sunset. And some bikers had a head on collision. Until next time.

 

[JaxyGirl]

Oh well..good try anyway..did you at least catch some hoppers for your cham at home..lol????

 

[Lloyd Heilbrunn]

Did you speak to any locals to see if they ever saw Chams?

 

[ju5t1n]

ahhhhh long day no chameleons but it was fun!
We got some great pictures tho =]

 

[PrettyInInk87]

I want to see pictures!

 

[melric]

It was pretty fun. I didn't pick up any grasshoppers, haha. I hate those things. And about asking the locals, I figured they would think we were crazy.

I'm planning a trip to Disney World. You have to take me herping with you Lloyd!

I'll post what pic's I have tomorrow.

 

[chameleonneeds]

Asking the locals would of been the best thing to do. Some might give you funny looks but some will actualy tell you what they have seen, like the locals here.

I also didnt have the best luck finding chameleons at night, found them when they were active during the day

 

[Cainschams]

Bummer you guys didnt find any. Did it seem like the places you searched would be good environments for jacksons? Cant wait until it warms up here. No chameleons but I love going out looking for salamanders

Disney's a bit from me but I'm sure we could work something out. Shoot me a PM when the trip gets close...

 

[melric]

Next time I will ask the locals! It wasn't very jungle like, but there were small trees and such so not sure if it was their environment.

I'm always willing to travel Lloyd so I will def send you a pm when I'm in Florida.

[melric]

When and where is the next expedition?...

I have some info about Jackson's in Palos Verdes. But, I have even more info on Morro Bay. Who is up for Morro Bay? This time we will have more notice before we go.

 

[Eltortu]

Morro Bay is a lil' far for me, but I am up for the Rancho Palos Verdes trip...

 

[Lloyd Heilbrunn]

You guys need to get better at this, or some of us Florida Cham hunters will have to come out there and show you how it's done.....

 

[Ace]
