I've never bought anything from them except my Visionariums. I had issues with that, they don't ship them directly from their store, they go through the people that actually made them. It took me a while to finally get my separators, which would've been pointless of me to put them together without them. I don't really blame them for that incident though.

Although, to let you know. They usually get a good bit of their reptiles, if not all their reptiles from people on Kingsnake. They always post wanted ads of people's reptiles, then they repost the ads once they get those reptiles. So you really don't know what type of environment that reptile was in before being there.

Example,
Their Wanted Ad
Their Sale Ad
Another Sale Ad
Notice all their sale ads are what they asked for in their wanted ad.

I'm not saying that's bad, I'd just be careful. I've had bad incidents with people on Kingsnake.
Also some of their prices are rather ridiculous. For example, they're selling a Male Pictus gecko for $49.99. I bought a male and a female for that price. Pictus usually range about $29.99. I'd just do some research on some prices if I were you.

If you want a cham, I'd do a show. You can probably get an equally good price and you won't have to pay shipping costs. That's my thought about it. When I saw LLLs booth at the NARBC show, I wasn't overly thrilled with the quality of the animals. I guess I just thought I could get something better for less. But such is the way of retail... so that's just my 2 cents.

First time i went to buy from them i was looking for a Jacksons Cham. I had talked with them was assured a certain chameleon they sent me picture of. we set a date for shipment. I made payment and a week later a Monday was suppose to be the ship out day. Following Tuesday no package. I e-mailed them and got a reply the following day saying they ran out of Jacksons Chameleons and asked if i wanted to wait for more to come in or choose a different species.. I took my money back and have not bought from them. As far as supplies go i don't know.

Depending on what kind of chameleon you want i can point you in the direction of some fantastic breeders.

I was looking at the reptile shows but the only one I could make it to isn't till September 27th so I was doing so browsing online and found these guys I have been reading mixed reviews and I think im just going to hold off and find some one else ill probably order the cage setup and all from them since it seems to be cheaper to go that way unless I can find some where else to get a cage and lighting combo from. At this point I am leaning more in the direction of the panther chameleon but I know there are a ton of different species out there so I am trying to look at a majority of them and what care they require but so far its either a panther or veiled. Any breeders you could point me in the direction of would be great this is going to be a while off im just doing my research from now until then that way I know im not going into this blind. Thanks for all of your input on this.

That would be great I need all the info I can get on these guys they will be allot harder than a pacman no rush like I said its going to be a while off until I start getting the supplies for it all. I had read that veiled chameleons are the easy ones to keep and panthers were second but I also read that panthers where one of the harder ones
