South Bay Chameleon Keepers Chameleon Cage Set-up Workshop

[DeremensisBlue]

Welcome to 2015!
The SBCK is going to switch to a quarterly format and make each meeting more of an event. To kick it off, our first event will be Saturday March 28 from 2PM to 5PM. We will be graciously hosted by Reptile Nerds in Garden Grove.
Address:
12550 Brookhurst Suite F
Garden Grove, CA

Our first workshop will be on Chameleon Cage Set-up. I have pulled some strings and used a favor or two to get Bill Strand, the founder of Dragon Strand, to lead the workshop. We will specifically go over the philosophy of setting up a cage so it can be applied to any cage now or in the future. Once you have the information you can apply it anywhere.

Anyone is welcome to bring a cage and supplies to build a cage hands-on during the workshop under the watchful eyes of some of the area's most experienced chameleon keepers. Dragon Strand will also be offering some cage bundles that may be purchased if you do not already have a cage to use.

We will also be reaching out to local pet stores to get the word out to those new to the chameleon world.

If you are in the Southern California area and have been considering dropping by an SBCK meeting now is the time!

See you all there!
Bill

You should really consider doing a Y-Tube or something that can be posted here-

I am working on doing a video of this workshop so, if all goes well, you'll be able to see the entire thing!

Great I'm going to measure my cage for ledges so I hope it shows some ideas for them.

 

[RobSquared]

Thanks for the information. It took me a month and a half of research before I built my first functional enclosure. I want to make more enclosures and am always finding new easier ways on building them.

Marking my calendar now.

Nice, I just purchased my first chameleon from Adam who operates out of the provided address. I highly recommend him and his chameleons.

Cant wait!

Bump. Meeting is getting closer!
Who is going?

 

[Lathis]

This is such a great idea. I wish we had such a strong in-person community in the midwest!

SBCK Spring 2015 Workshop: Chameleon Cage Set-up

The Spring 2015 SBCK Workshop is right around the corner! We have been working on setting this up and are ready for a great meeting!

When: Saturday, March 25 1PM - 5PM
Note that we are starting at 1PM!
Where:
Reptile Nerds
12550 Brookhurst Suite F 

Garden Grove, CA

What: As you know, the workshop is on Chameleon Cage Set-up where the members may listen in and learn or bring their cages and build along with the talk under the watchful eye of experienced SBCK members. You can pre-order cages, or buy cages and/or a chameleon at the meeting. If you are ready for a chameleon to join your home, this may be the perfect way to get it all done in an afternoon surrounded by experienced chameleon people! (If you are interested in a Reptile Nerds panther chameleon call Adam at (714) 718-4073 to inquire)

There will also be a feeder run. Please get your order to Steve Simms by the evening of Wednesday March 25 for delivery at the Saturday meeting.

Important Note About Bringing Chameleons: We will be holding this meeting at the Reptile Nerds chameleon breeding facility. What an awesome place for a chameleon meeting! But for their safety, please do not bring wild caught chameleons to this meeting. If you do bring your captive bred chameleons, ensure you have the proper travel cage available for them. As always, the best way to make sure we are invited back to a meeting location is to respect that location!

Come join us for an afternoon of chameleons!
