Oh Dear, So another species from this seller may/may not have been what he said they were. I can speak from experience here having dealt with this chap. who being quite new to the world of reps seems to take everything at face value ie if hes's told these are so and so, instead of checking things out he just goes ahead and sells them as such along with a picture "borrowed" from somewhere else. I also feel that he may/may not know that the animals he sells are not CB at all and the term CF has come to mean many different things I have discovered..The cynic in me says he doesn't give a damn either way, then the "nice" me says he may have had the wool pulled over his eyes as hes new to all this. Either way I have learned by my own mistakes and will no longer buy from him.I hope things work out Pete as if these are what you were led to beleive they are I will definatley be looking to you when I wish to buy some.
love Jan o

Hi Jan, due to the presence of occipital lobes on the animals that I have here they apparently cannot be senegalensis. Thats not a problem to me as they are great little Chams and I am enjoying them whatever they are. As they mature I should be able to work out what they are. Simply not possible at this stage.

You are of course welcome to some young if I manage it, but right now it`s a bit early as I am not even sure what genders I have as yet. A freind has one more from the same batch which I hope to add to the pair to increase the chances of having both sexes so we shall see what happens. Wink

Very much so James thanks. Wink

I am developing an interest in both species as a result of this little puzzle. Smile

Well the unidentified Chameleons are growing really well. It will be interesting to find out just exactly what they are when older, then I can set about finding some more of whatever they turn out to be! Smile

how are these coming along pete? any closer too solving the mystery?

Peter Parrot · Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2006 7:19 pm Post subject:

They are doing great and growing well thanks mattie. I think that I am going to have to wait until they reach maturity before being in with any chance of making an accurate ID though.
