Btw

I just wanted to say how cool my BP is. I have a panther chameleon, leopard gecko, african grey parrot, and a great dane and my BP is one of my favs =) In fact, I'm going to sell my panther chameleon to try to get another BP. You can look in the classifieds for my ad if interested or look through my other posts =) :taz:

You are selling one pet to buy another? What happens to your BPs when you find another animal you like more a few months from now?

Don't you have something better to do than to read posts and talk for no reason. Get a life! At least I'm not setting it free outside my house, I dont think the Cham is going to lose any sleep over it.

No need to get offensive about it like that, shes just saying that why are you selling one animal that you already have to get another one. I personally am wondering the same thing though, if you find out you like a different reptile will you sell your bps?

Well I didn't really want to have the Cham anymore anyways. I have three kids, and along with the other reptiles, great dane, and especially the bird, I spend a lot of time taking care of animals/kids every morning. The snake is really low maintenance compared to the other animals and it was my first reptile, and I've always like them. When I sell the cham Im not going to go out right away to buy another BP, but there is NO WAY I would get another animal right now with as many as I have right now. My kids and I were having fun with the BP and I just wanted to share my happiness with it and then someone has to come on here and say something negative. If your a negative kind of person than I would rather you keep your opinions to yourself. I dont want to hear anyones negative opinion of me when i'm not asking for it. She's probably a tree-hugging liberal =) They always like to tell people what they are doing wrong! Now I'm probably going to catch junk from all the tree-hugging liberals, but with that comment, I guess, technically I'm asking for it =)

You should have said all that! lol, just watch out, bps are HIGHLY addictive

When posting on public forums, you're going to get opinions. How you handle them says a lot about character. That said, why not sell the kids? :rolleyes:

I just didn't like someone ruining my good mood =) With that said I got over it quickly. I completely expected replies from people who also wanted to share their happiness with their BPs and immediately I got someone who wanted to judge me =\ Anyways, I'm completely surprised to hear from a tree-hugging liberal who owns a gun and still wants to acknowledge 9/11. Hopefully your not one of those people who thinks our government secretly had something to do with it! =) You can't be from the far left. I guess your one of the good tree-hugging liberals. About selling the kids, I could probably get a lot more money by selling them, but I would go crazy and have to be put in a mental institution if I had to live without even one of them! :salute:

If it makes anyone feel better. I found the Cham on the side of the road with a broken leg. I took him home and gave him a top of the line enclosure. I licked his wounds and breast fed him back to health. Now, I'm finally ready to let him go to a happy forever home :D Seriously though, I do want to sell him, but I am not one of those people who doesn't take care of the animals they have. I did get the Cham the best enclosure, and have a smaller one so he can sit outside in the sun. I kept up with giving him vitamins he needed, paid $40 for the best bulb you can buy to keep him healthy, misted his cage every morning to keep it as much like its natural habitat since they are used to having dew on the leaves in the morning. I cut up oranges, potatoes, carrots, and wheat at least every other day to gut-load the crickets before I fed them to the Cham. I put that kind of work into all my other animals as well. :gj:

I just want to step in here and say WELCOME to BP.net! :handshake

Personally, it sounds to me like you have a very lively and lovely household! If I were in the market for a cham, I'd seriously consider your offer...but my hubby is not nearly so accepting of additional pets as yours is. :P I'll even be in Atlanta later this month! BP.net is gonna have a table at the Expo. You going??? If you do, come and say HI!!

She wasn't trying to judge you. She was just worried about you trading one animal for another, and continuing on doing so. She was not being negative whatsoever. You clearly showed that this is not true, so no need to stick onto it.

In the bolded area, you say you don't want to judge, but you are calling people 'tree-hugging liberals'. I happen to be liberal, and a I happen to love nature. I don't necessarily appreciate the judgment on your part. ;)

Welcome to b-p.net. I love trees. Do you love trees? I love ball pythons, and I know you do too! :rofl:

Shadera called herself a "tree-hugging-liberal" and the OP merely responded to that. Come on people...we really don't need to micro-analyze and critique every jot and tittle of what someone says.

In all fairness, I didn't start the judging and I think its just about impossible for someone to never judge anyone in some kind of way. Sometimes its appropriate to "judge" someone and sometimes its not needed or called for. In addition, I don't necessarily dislike someone just for being a tree-hugging liberal, as long as your a nice one ;)

I see people posting all the time in ads how they need to get rid of some snakes to make room in their racks for new ones. Or people saying they are replacing their normal breeders with pastels since they are so cheap now. I don't see how selling a chameleon to make room for a BP is any different. As long as it goes to a good home and is well taken care of, it's fine IMO.

We should always think long term about our pet buying decisions, but you would be hard pressed to find someone with a big collection who hasn't at least thought about moving some animals out to make room for new ones.

OK just had to laugh -- in this hobby people are always selling one animal to buy another what makes this persons deal any different than someone that no longer needs their het pied because they got a visual (for example) :rolleyes:

Well said Tosha! I would also like to add that I commend anyone that can admit their heart isn't into a particular pet and find it a good home instead of keeping it and not taking the time with it that it needs.
Luckily, my husband has just recently started saying no to certain new additions I ponder! Evertime cage cleaning comes around I realize he was right! Good luck rehoming your cham!:welcome: :salute:
