selling them off

January 8, 2006 2:41 PM

the girlfriend decided she wanted to breed and sell Blue Bar Ambilobe Panther chameleons. Once all these things hatch, how does one go about selling the over priced little bastards?

in fairness, they are absolutely beautiful, but fence lizards make just as cool pets and they are free if you're quick.

There are organized reptile shows in most states (I know here in NY they have them twice a year or so). Pictures a hall of tables with hundreds of plastic deli containers containing everything from geckos to rattle snakes (in some states). Might be worth a look if you have enough of the lizards to make it worth the cost of a table.

PNHS sounds like a good resource for when she realizes shes in over her head and needs to offload 20 baby chameleons. :)

Ebay won't allow you to sell live animals. See here.

Whoops, link didn't work kingsnake.com It's sort of an all-reptiles info and classified site, well-known in the herp-hobbyist world.
