Before I got my boas I was constantly told that they'd get up to 20 feet long and would be too expensive to feed and all that crap, lol. But 10 foot is pushing it for a boa, if I had listened to these people, who didn't even own boas but probably wanted me as a customer so they could sell their pythons, I would not have my amazing snakes today.
Research is key to getting any reptile and I can not express how insanely pleased I am that you did real research before getting your chameleons instead of a quick browse for information and then being over and done with it.
Panther chameleons are awesome, would love to see photos some time.
Not to take away from Manda's gorgeous chams, (I really love that panther BTW, actually makes me want to get a cham, lol), but this statement really says allot. A reptile really is a "Thinking persons" pet. Anyone who has properly taken care of any reptile, probably their first winter with an animal, realized, "I need to reevaluate my entire husbandry strategy, because all of my room temperatures have changed." I could list 100 other similar examples. It's not rocket science, but nor is it "plug and play".
Glad to have another herper here And I love my boas, but don't knock the whole python world, I am completely fascinated with all my carpets. Under the same theory, if I'd listened to all the people that never owned a carpet python, I'd think they all have bad dispositions....
