Non-snake newb

[dirklance]

Hey everyone,

I bet you are all wondering why I would join this forum if I don't own snakes... Well I wanted to join for 2 reasons:

1) I am interested in different feeders for my chameleon (specifically Dubia roaches), and came across a bunch of stuff on this lovely site about them.

2) snakes are pretty damned cool. So it has been fun looking at people's pets. =)

I live in BC and am trying to locate B. Dubia, but I will create a different thread for that. Just thought I would say hello first, and thanks for reading!

justin.

Gordon is Nosy By Panther Chameleon. We got him from a local breeder at a local reptile show (BCRC Show) at the end of April. He's kind of awesome. =)

Welcome to the forum! Great pics!

Can't wait to see him as a adult, I hope he will be very blue when he is older. I wish I had the space for a chameleon they are awesome. What do you have him in? Also I think Roaches are illegal in Canada or is it just Albert? Anyways.....welcome.

I hope he gets to be a nice blue too! I have pics of his parents, so if he turns out anything like his dad, I'll be quite happy (not that I wouldn't be happy anyways!). I currently have him in a 12x12x18 exo for now. I have a 24x24x48 reptibreeze for him with a misting system for when he gets a bit older. Probably switch him to his new home in a month or so. Using all live plants for him (Schefflera Arboricola right now, a 'Money Tree' and a Pothos for his big home). As for the Dubia, they are totally illegal. =( I still want them though. Haha. I know they are around, it's just trying to find them that is difficult. It drives me crazy when I am on forums and everyone form the US talks about how perfect of a feeder they are. It's so frustrating. I could totally understand if they could escape and take over Canada, but realistically they would die off pretty quick seeing as they are a Tropical Roach.

hello and welcome

cheers shaun

Sounds like you got it all set. Make sure to switch him to the reptibreeze as soon as possible. They need alot of air flow.

Welcome aboard!

I love the name 'Gordon' for your little guy. Can you imagine that some people are named Gordon when it's so clearly meant for Chameleons?! How crazy is that :)
