You know you're a chameleon addict when....

[dodolah]

When you drive 30 to 40 miles away to listen to some guy lecturing about different wavelengths of UVA UVB UVC and what kind of UVB lights combination that best simulate the sun in captivity.
friendly fire, Dave! It was a very good lecture! I enjoyed the whole presentation.

 

[Cainschams]

Lol!!!

when you are trying to convince your wife that the cockroach is indeed a papaya beetle and a better and cleaner feeder,
,

This is great stuff

 

[dyeguy65]

...when you want so bad for your cham to just walk right on to your hand...that you make kissy noises as if coaxing a cat...

...when ur cham flares up at you when youre cleannin up poop, you say something along the lines of ''dont you flare up at me buddy. i can leave the poo if youd like''

 

[Chameleons Canada]

...When on every tree at the mall you are thinking "a Melleri would be awesome here" or even better, you wish you could fit one of those huge tree pots inside yoru house.

 

[Jerm]

You know that you are addicted to chameleons when...

-you are looking for a house and you include a place for the chameleons as part of the requirements.

-you have a hurricane evacuation plan for the chameleons.

-you have more photos of chameleons then family members in your house.

-you know more about keeping your chams healthy than yourself.

-you ask the neighbor if he is really throwing out those branches, they would be perfect for the chams.

-your chams vet bills are higher than your dogs.

...when on your lunch break from work you drive all the way home to mist and make sure your cham is alright, instead of getting something to eat, and then rush back to work.

 

[hallenhe]

... you make up special songs for them (even though they a) probably can't hear them and b) do not speak English). Our favorite is "He's a lizard and he'll never never be any good".

 

[warpdrive]

...when after every rain storm you look on the ground for fallen tree branches.
then you get looked at funny by all the people on the street while you are carring some branches home.
(all while living in a big city. )

[AJA]

...when at work you download just about every chameleon photo you can find off the net and your boss wonders why your server needs more memory.

 

[naich]

lol i look at every one of those monster ficuses in the mall and imagen a few panthers sun bathing in it...


you know your addicted when evey day adfter you come home from school you go straight to that cage a stare at the cham for a good half and hour...when you should've......(cleaned your room....made your bed...vacumed....did homework....feed those,"other" pets....you know the less important things in life

 

[PantherVeileD]

when you go to walmart just to look for more plastic tubs for your crickets/roach/silkworms.

when you go to home depot and go right to the garden section to see if they have any pothos and ficuses for sale.

when you go to the supermarket just to buy some veggies to gutload your feeders and buy nothing for yourself..

 

[reptimom]

When you walk into the local "cricket farm" and all the guys laugh at you because you are carrying some "fancy" cricket cage full of vegtable, fruit and grains - and they say you going fishin with them crickets???? And you explain to them that they are feeders for you chameleon - and they laugh some more and say they have plenty of them running all over their back porch - and you explain, not those kinds of chameleons - and they just look at you like your crazy. I must really be addicted!!!!

 

[Chameleons Canada]

...when you go to buy a plant and ask "were these sprayed with any chemicals"? And the guy gives you the "are you serious?" "look"... And you know he must be thinking "who cares"? hahaha, WE DO!!

[TreelionsUK]

When you drive 80miles for 2 tubs of fruitflies for the babys at home!

When your livefood eats more salad then you do!

When your always scanning the classifieds for chameleons!

 

[jojackson]

When your chameleon has more space to move around in your bedroom than you do.

When you live out of storage tubs stacked in your kitchen, because your wardrobe had to go to make room for the chameleon cage!

When every blowing leaf in a bush you see might be a chameleon, despite living in a cham free country (wishful thinking)

When you pay $450 for a three week old cham , $250 of it 6 months before it hatched , no garantees!

1,2 & 4 are true fact (dont ask)

 

[ohiohousewife]

when you buy eggs by the 2 dozen because they come in the cardboard crates the crickets like. Oh, and you have loose eggs rolling around the frige.

 

[FaunaBgirl]

.... when everyone at work gets a sick look on their faces when you say you have new pictures of your chameleons to show them.

 

[LittleLionLover]

You know your addicted when....

You checkout every book about chameleons in the county

You spend top dollar for "your babies"

You sneak a peak every chance you get like a concerned parent

you're always on the lookout for a new addition

when their needs come before your own

 

[FaunaBgirl]

....or when you have to put an ad on craigslist to find other chameleon enthusiasts in your area so you can show all those 16,000 pictures, and see theirs, because it's just never enough.
