    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Greetings from Fort Worth, Texas. I have been keeping Panthers for the last two months with success. I don't know a lot but I'm soaking up information wherever and whenever. I have a 6 month old Ambilobe male panther (Grumpy) and a 4 month old Ambilobe female (no name) that I just purchased from Patrick here in the DFW area.

My goal is to embrace my new hobby and learn as much as I can. I would like to at some point breed the two that I have. I ran into a few problems but have overcome them so far. I would like to one day own a Parsons, however my skill level isn't where it should be. I don't want to risk anything for the time being.

I am currently a Federal Correctional Officer in Fort Worth. I have three kids and a crazy Cuban baby mama that ran off. But Grumpy is trying to fill in the gap. It is a pleasure to be on your forum and I look forward to learning something from everyone.

First of all, welcome to the forum. Your Furcifer pardalis looks amazing, congrats. I love Chameleons but other then two species, never kept them.

I would like to provide a warm welcome from downstate N.Y.

That is great!

I am always soaking up information. I don't feel you can ever know enough.

Your male, looks amazing. I also love the name. If you want and when you have time, I would love to see photo's of the other two.

My goal is to embrace my new hobby and learn as much as I can.
I am not new to the hobby, but, I always want to learn. So, I think it is commendable to always want to learn.

I would like to at some point breed the two that I have.
This site, has plenty of people that can help you with that, when the time comes. Me, not so much! :rofl:

I ran into a few problems but have overcome them so far.
That is great!

I would like to one day own a Parsons, however my skill level isn't where it should be. I don't want to risk anything for the time being.
That is one of my favorite species too. However, it is HIGHLY unlikely, I will ever own one. I also like Trioceros melleri a great deal. How about you?

Well, I definitely don't want to make you angry, :)! On a serious note, I respect you and the hard job you do.

I have three kids and a crazy Cuban baby mama that ran off.
Wow, just wow, regarding your ex...that is crazy. However, your children are very very lucky to have such a good dad!!

But Grumpy is trying to fill in the gap.
Awe, that is very very kind of him. :)

It is a pleasure to be on your forum and I look forward to learning something from everyone.
I don't know what I can teach you, but, it is a pleasure getting to know you and your Chameleons.
 
Thank you all for the kind welcome:) I currently only have the two because of the room I have. I will be getting a bigger place in a few months.

You are very welcome.

Ahh I see.

I will be getting a bigger place in a few months.
That is fantastic, what else do you want to add, when you have more space?

I don't think I can add new pictures:(
Ahh I am sorry. I am pretty sure you can. Hopefully, someone who is more knowledgeable then me, can help you, with that particular matter.

I would always be interested to have a couple Veiled babies to raise. But at that point I will just about need a whole room dedicated to my hobby. I like the bigger chameleons so you don't have to replace a friend every 4-5 years.

Well, that is one species I can actually help you with. So, can many others.

I am quite sure, most of us agree with you on that one. :rofl:

I completely agree with you on that one.
