i read somewhere that kasksons dun adapt well in captivuty. max ppl keep is bout 3-4 years only...then KO. wanna start with chemeleons can start with vieled.

How much for the price?

well, seems that i'm not going to keep one after all. there's too much effort and time that I can't spend taking care of them and the set up's not adequate. Maybe in future, I'm able to grab myself a veiled. Now I'm going back to leos and fat tails.

I heard chameleons bite.. and nasty too.... but they are fragile reptiles huh.....

Saw a few times at the jungle beside my house..... until they flattened it and made it into appartments for MMU students.... wasted...

hahha...someone told me adult vieled at thailand onlt rm200

earlier went to ikano , then went to pet safari ....they have lots of chameleon
stock

yes....in thailand the exotic animals are freaking cheap!!!!!!!!

most of them less than half the price of wut it is here in malaysia.
but problem is..after u get one..how u gonna bring it back past the Jabatan Imigresen...??? and do u wanna trouble urself jaga one fragile creature while on holiday?

But theres a way to get past imigration...hehe. Sampan back to Kota Bahru.
hehehe

Chams r real cool...
but fragile and expensive...expensive coz theres high risk or losing it.

actually getting past the border isn't a problem at all...just take a train tru the padang besar border....they don't check shit at that border...i use it all the time...can even bring a kilo of marijuana...if u can hide the smell of course..

eh....Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

hahha///the marijuana line gonna get u hanged man...lolx.

Nice horn they have, anybody wanna make a trip to Thailand ? We go and buy exotic pets in bulk.

now air asia got cheap flight


ahh.. I wanna go there to see the animals... old people going... how to go see animals la...??? huhuhuhuhu

how lar to seludup chams ?
later put in a bag..then he become stress..later we only bring the dead carcass only..
teach us all how to seludup... using airplane ... hahahaha...

his point is....no one bothers....from thailand if u go with a few friends...u can just share & buy train tickets for a cabin....can temp house in a small guppy tank....

can u tell me exaclty where in thailad ? issit in bangkok or only near the border site of kelantan ?

a market in bangkok, its called catkucah or sumting that sound like that...ask kin onn...he knows...

Yeah, we can make a small trip there. I wanna get some turtles and tortoise there. Anybody ?

the market called chattucak. its a biggie. u can get there using the MRT. take a ride until the end of the line. if u from main entrance, the animals section is at the west end of the market. before reaching to reptiles and others, u will c dogs, cats and some cock fights(no lucah). last time i was there about 5 shops selling reptiles. about 90% animals can b found in KL-if u know where to look. cheaper by about 30-40% depending on how u bargain. if u regular, the trader will auto less for u.

note: no need to go to bangkok for chattucak. in phuket now also have 1. fyi

near hyatyai got or not? hmm....so far...need to take flight...come back by train also bladi far.....when u say lower then malaysia by 30-40% is the pet shop selling price or the cost?

from my knowledge hatyai no chattuchak but i could b wrong.

30%-40% of retail. mayb can get cheaper. price is also determined on the animals locality, import & export and various other factors.

if u go by train, i advice buying CB and hardy species. it's safer method.

if u go by flight please be careful coz unless the trader has arrange sumthin wit the authority, getting pass the airports will not be easy especially when ur panties/underwear/bra/crotch/pockets/bags/pants/shirts is full, rounded, moving about and making various sounds. re-scan will occur if they r suspicious. once 1st img and 2nd img is different in shapes, they will interogate. use lead ie plumbum container coz cant be scanned.

note: im not comfortable discussing about this topic publicly anymore. so i will end my post here. hope that help.
