The chameleon addiction...

It all starts way before one even knows they are right for keeping a chameleon they begin to google image chameleons.
The obsession continues and you find yourself learning the pros and cons to different species. You find one you like..
Your obsession grows more you dream about owning one.
You work your as* off and gain perfect abs to make the money to get everything...
NO TURNING BACK FROM HERE!
you set up your cage to your hearts disire. And fail to provide equal foliage because you fear u will never see your chameleon.:)
You purchase your chameleon and are hooked and determined to own one of every species before you kick the bucket.
While your friends are out partying you stay home because you need to give your chameleon it's needs.
You chase away small children and don't let anyone make noise or go in your room unless they are supervised.
You shoot the family dog... Jk lol I'm not that mean.
You skip doing homework to write a message about how to propaerly care for a Cham and you troll the chameleon forums like a super hero hopping to save a chameleon in distress.
You leave a girl because she does not support you new hobby/commitment and the chameleon is your first love.:)...(Chris Anderson? Lol)...
You don't read huck fin because reading what Chris Andersons report on the temp feeding thing distracts you. You draw chameleons on the school desks without realizing it. You compare the art work known as the lidded salt cellar to a pacman crossed with a veiled chameleon.
And u write this message on an iPod.:)
That's how the chameleon addiction works.

I love chameleons forever. Comment if u agree or if your Chris anderson and have a problem with my joke about you.
 
I agree totally!

minus the shooting the family dog part. ;)
I just keepthe dog out of the cham room.
and you know you have issues, when you used to hate random bugs roaming loose, now you dont care if a cricket gets loose, you just grab it and put it back in teh bucket.

and I so creep the forums to be a super hero for chameleons!!!! Love it.

Haha yeah. Work keeps me traveling quite a bit. Im even in PA on occasion :D
 
Lol, it was supposed to be just one Cham, now there are so many that they have taken over our dining room, we eat dinner sitting at the coffee table on the floor in the living room. It's not just a hoby, It's a way of life!
 
So addicted I converted my boyfriend to Chamism. And I drew a cham at my adult job today, and have a painting in the making of a cham... Yep, I have an addiction, and I don't want to get rid of it! :D
 
hahaha so true!! My addiction branched from my love of dinosaurs at a young young age...they are just so intricate in their design!

My fiance hates reptiles and she thinks chameleons are *whispers* ugly... *twitch* Fortunately, she is amazing and bought me one for xmas :)
 
Totally agree it is an addiction, my fiancee bought me mine for xmas cause i have been wanting one for years....and then we were suppose to be going down south to pick up another one saturday and the person just texted me and said nevermind i couldnt have her he was taking her with him when he moved :(
We are looking for a house to buy and we almost put a bid in on a house just because it was already set up with an extra room with sliding glass doors that was perfect for a reptile room lol
 
i was laughing the other day cause chameleons must have been in my head. i built a show car about 4 yrs before i was ever into chams and i was talking about it the other day and realized it was painted in house of kolor kameleon paint, and had a jvc kameleon radio in it. hmmmm musrt have been an calling lol
 
Mine went in a slightly different order, starting with dinosaurs and Anoles, but I'm addicted too :D. I just spent 10 mins feeding gutloaded fruit flies to 4 little mantis. I'm worried that Chameleon addiction is also a gateway to insect addiction.............

its totally true....
i have so many bugs now. and when i have pest control come to my apt to spray or plant stuff (regularly required) i make them call me to find out what they are going to do so they dont kill off any of my insects, and my dog and cat.
 
It's worth it!

I could not agree more...LOL! I always loved animals, and mainly reptiles, but 5 1/2 years ago i walked into a pet store and saw this panther chameleon with it's perfect set up and thats when all hit me including the price for everything!! But all in all..it's worth very dime!! Some people like mountain climbing, some people restore old cars"expensive"...some people hunt...i am a Chameleon keeper and love it!!
