And unfortunately most of them probably ended up dying within a few months. I can't count the number of times I am getting supplies at our local reptile shop and someone comes in with a shoebox with a cham in it on its side looking like death saying I bought this for my kid thinking it would be an easy pet...I could never work at a reptile shop because I would probably end up dropping sales, it drives me insane, I know they need to make a profit, but at the same time it would drive me insane know thing animal I just sold will probably not be taken care of once it is gone.
