    Purchased chameleon @ show, DIED on way home?

    I'm not entirely sure how it works, as the only people I know well enough to ask only do local shows. I'm positive they don't leave them out overnight though! Most shows I go to are only one day things, so at the end of the day they pack up and go home. The one I went to was a weekend thing, but...

    Purchased chameleon @ show, DIED on way home?

    Welp, I heard back from them Monday via email, replied.. nothing... called them a bit ago, guy said he was swamped with shows all week. Wasn't quite as professional as I would have liked, but seemed genuine. Said he would be coming back from a show in Maryland this weekend, and he will have to...

    my asian vine

    My friend just got one of these at a reptile show the other day! We had never seen one in person before. I'm willing to bet you probably got them from the same vendor. Hers is eating anoles as well. I'm not a fan of anoles so I don't feel very sorry for them. I really want to get one sometime in...

    Purchased chameleon @ show, DIED on way home?

    Well, just going by the general rule that most places want the body returned for various reasons. The pet store I work at requires any animals that die shortly after purchase (doesn't happen much other than fish) be returned for an exchange. So, I just put him in the fridge just incase this...

    Purchased chameleon @ show, DIED on way home?

    Yes, several large drilled air holes in the side of the container. I joined the chameleon forum and am getting great advice from there as well, and hope to be able to do a swap for a new one sometime this week.

    Happy to report the owner responded to my email, and has agreed to replace him. Hopefully this won't fall through and I will meet up with him sometime soon for a swap. Thanks for all your help!

    Purchased chameleon @ show, DIED on way home?

    Switched him to the fridge.. I'm just use to working in the shelter and the dead cats and dogs go in the freezer. Hoping to hear back from the people soon....

    Purchased chameleon @ show, DIED on way home?

    Is the fridge better? The vendors website said frozen and that's what my friends said to do. I was hoping to have heard back from them already.. the show ended an hour ago...

    Purchased chameleon @ show, DIED on way home?

    I skipped over this post before- opps! Okay, so you saw the ones in the little bins on the table? they had jackson's in a screen cage and a few different ones in bins on the table. I put the little guy in the freezer. I got the little veiled guy from the bin on the table. The people that also...

    Purchased chameleon @ show, DIED on way home?

    Thanks. I took pictures as soon as I got him with the receipt, business card, the poor little guy and I opened my phone to sit next to it with the date & time on the screen. I've put off buying a chameleon for a while because I was concerned they are fragile, but the people really seemed assured...

    Purchased chameleon @ show, DIED on way home?

    Thanks.. my mom is having a freaking fit regardless. My mom had the visor down in order to keep sun off him for the reason of over heating. Otherwise it was an ideal temp in my car.. not steaming hot but not ice cold. Generally, how sensitive are veiled chameleons? From reading online it's my...

    Purchased chameleon @ show, DIED on way home?

    Thanks.. I understand everything being "as is" and have purchased reptiles from vendors before. I specifically talked to both people at the booth and made sure to ask several times about the car ride home. I told them how far I lived and how long of a drive it would be and they assured me that...

    Purchased chameleon @ show, DIED on way home?

    Hello all. So today I was at a reptile show local to my area, and I'm going to leave out specific details. I found a very nice vendor at the show with a few different types of lizards and small critters. They seemed well established and very informative. So, I purchased a baby veiled chameleon...

    AP: Fatal Attractions

    Hmm, well I think it is partly true. My friend and her boyfriend purchase/rescue their reptiles because they are attracted to the breed, and they don't always name their snakes like they would name their cats.. but for the animals they CAN safely handle, they interact with them like they are a...

    Does anyone know how...

    Well, if the OP is still reading, there are numerous reasons beyond what everyone else was saying as to why your cat should be going outside. Sorry, I have 12 indoor cats and usually run 6-7 litterboxes at a time and I deal with it. Fresh air is good for everyone, sure! Why don't you leave your...
