    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....

HI i am interested in getting a female veiled and i have heard alot of stories about people buyig chams and not getting the right one they ordered or getting less than perfect animals and i was wondering i f anyone knew of breeders with good reputations for veileds i was looking at one on lostlakechameleons.com or lllreptile.com are these good websites? i currently have a 8mth old male that i got from an expo in taylor,mi. but it is a long drive and i would rather order one this time, also i am always working and its hard to get the time to go to expos lately, if anyone has any info that would be great thanks!!!!!!!!!!
 
I was going to suggest hitting a show but you are quite a distance from one. Maybe arranging something with a breeder so that going to the show wouldn't be a waste of time. While I do not know anything about the first site you asked about I would suggest doing a BOI search on any potential seller. With that said I believe there are a few threads on LLL already. I have a customer who is Cham breeder and I will speak to him on his availability and if he has anything I will let you know.
 
i think you will find that most commercial sellers of chameleons do not offer pictures of the actual specific animals for sale, personally if i were looking to buy a veiled from a commercial site , i would probably use fl chams (mike monge ,also a cf member). but before i looked there, i would look in the classified section of "chameleon forums" for a private breeder, members there keep pretty close tabs on each other, and there is a lot of member peer pressure, and since the forum is dedicated primarily to chameleons, and their proper care, the vast majority of members are experienced knowledgable keepers and only members in good standing are allowed to advertize in the classifieds section, and any ads that show any issues are removed by the moderators, if you did get a deal that was unsatisfactory in any way , there would be a lot of member peer pressure for a satisfactory resolution and would probably offer a better chance of getting it worked out than if you got one from someplace else . you would also have a better chance of finding someone who was willing to send you pictures of the actual specific animal for sale , plus you have the advantage of reading all previous posts by a member/ seller which gives you the ability to get a sense of the type of animals they keep and how they keep them, plus a good look into the mindset of that particular keeper. i think that you will find that most of the more reputable cham sellers here are also "cf " members if you are not already a member i would strongly reccomend joining
 
thanks for the info i signed up on chameleonforums.com a couple of weeks ago just wasnt sure whether i should get one from someone on there and i have looked at the flchams website too, and i might get one from there they are little more expensive but seem worth the extra expense thanks so much.
 
actually i just checked the flchams website and they only have juveniles i am looking for one that is closer to the age of my male who is 8mths. And there is no ads for veileds on the forums site most of them are too old and i dont know why but it wont let me post a wanted ad .as for the lostlakechameleons.com i wrote them an email 4 days ago and still no response:(
 
it wont let you post because you are a junior member and you need full member status in good standing to post in cf classifieds, about 3 or 4 dozen positive, non disruptive posts over a 2 or 3 month period and you will have full member status, the feature is designed to keep the forum civiliuzed and keep unknowns from dumping substandard animals on cf / its a good thing / you can still pm the selling party
 
theres nothing wrong with a lost lake cham, they have a good reputation for quality chams, its just good to check more than one source, no matter where you buy
 
i ended up getting a 9mth old female from theveiledchameleon.com i should be getting her on monday i am sending out the payment tommorrow i seen her and fell in love she is very bright green and the perfect age of one i was looking for.here is a pic

most cham shippers only ship mon-wed or thurs, you dont want your cham scheduled to arrive on a mon as that would mean sitting at least one, possibly two, extra days in shipping (not good)
 
i lost my debit card actually so i had to send a money order so they said they will ship it as soon as they receive it and it will be here by overnight shipping before 10:30am i made sure of it because, i didnt want it to be in the box for more time than that. i cant wait for it to get here i am so excited!!!
 
Did you get the cham you ordered from theveiledcham? Just wondering as I am looking for a new addition and am in the same situation with time.
