![I’m still keeping things anonymous & giving them the benefit of the doubt (unless the video footage shows that they’re career thief’s that will put other vendors at risk in the future, then I will reconsider & I’m entitled to that) but I do have a few issues with their reasoning/story that I can’t shake off:
(1) if your 12yo kid goes under a vendor’s booth, that vendor will most likely see him/her because the table cloth doesn’t go down to the floor on our side (or you can’t even go under because it’s one of those table cloths that hugs the whole table). Are 12yo’s still small enough to do that (or still doing that period? lol)
(2) Even if you didn’t notice until you got to the car that your kid has a chameleon you didn’t purchase, you decided to just head on home with it & not even attempt to return it right away or make a post/contact anyone that your kid mistakenly/accidently took a chameleon at the show?
(3) You’re saying you posted my chameleon on Craigslist because “you couldn’t keep it,” so you went ahead and bought the perfect setup for it (from the photos)?
(4) You only knew it was stolen because “someone emailed you about it after you posted on Craigslist?” (I’m pretty sure if you posted it on craigslist, anyone that saw it would’ve contacted me first for the $1000 reward. Additionally, with how many people were following this situation, I wouldn’t be surprised that people were refreshing craigslist every minute, & no one even saw the post?).
(5) you don’t reach out to me until I post that I’m about to obtain surveillance footage? (How convenient)
(6) let’s just send your wife (or “that blonde chick”) to do the chameleon drop off where there’s obviously a very high likelihood of a hostile environment when she’s obviously scared because she doesn’t want to give out her number (aka i don’t want to catch a fade, so let’s send a woman [my own wife]🤦🏻♂️)
(7) I would make my son come return the chameleon & apologize, like a good parents would do? (And ain’t no one hurting no child, let’s be real). Anyone would be MUCH more empathetic.
What do you guys think?

![$1000 Reward to anyone who tips me off on any of the following regarding my Blue Ambanja panther chameleon boy that was stolen towards the end (or after) the Reptile Super Show in Anaheim this past Sun [10/4]:
(1) Who’s in possession of my cham
(2) If you see any sale listing or soliciting of my cham anywhere online (morph market, palm street, fauna classified, kingsnake classified, FB marketplace, craigslist, etc), in-person, local pet stores, or anywhere.
(3) Later down the road, if you see anyone advertising chams or eggs for sale with my stolen cham as the Sire (dad).
To whoever stole my chameleon, if you’re reading this, do the right thing & ima give you a pass.
I treat stealing my chameleon like kidnapping my son (aka it’s only a matter of time until I find out who you are). I’ll leave it at that.
I would hella appreciate it fr if ya’ll could repost this, so we can find my boy & throw a party for this thief.🎉

With this subscription, you will basically have an experienced panther chameleon breeder (myself) on "retainer" to help answer/solve any specific chameleon husbandry questions, issues, and/or concerns you may have.
I will hold these LIVE online sessions tri-weekly (e.g. M/W/Sun) for 1-2hrs every week via Zoom. All sessions are recorded & transcribed, so subscribers will have access anytime to past Zoom videos!
This will serve as place where fellow chameleon hobbyist/breeders (beginner-experienced) can learn and share their experiences with myself and others. There is a lot of "bad"/conflicting chameleon husbandry information out there, so I'm here for you guys! I promise you will never feel lost w/ no one to come to for help in this hobby again, nor will you have to leave questions unasked or issues unheard in fear of being "ridiculed,"feeling stupid, or bullied like you would for reaching out for help on the online Facebook groups (don't worry, they're mostly charlatans anyways).
I got you guys, for real.
