Pardon me but everytime somebody mentions this a certain story comes to mind.
Have you ever heard the story of the chamelion farmers in Tambaya,Nyeri??
I was told and it's a true story, that a certain mzungu offered to buy chamelions of various breed and export to wherever I think for medicinal value.
When the idea was shared with the Tambaya people they stopped everything they were doing and started hunting for chamelions.The promise and reward was good!!smile
Each farmer bred chamelions.Children,women men did nothing except hunt for chamelions on fences from morning till evening.
The D DAY came and this is what happend

Kenya: Hundreds At Chameleon Market That Never Was
http://allafrica.com/stories/200505020878.html

Hundreds of villagers eager to get rich yesterday flocked a rural market in Nyeri armed with chameleons they hoped to sell.

Tambaya market in Mukurwe-ini division of Nyeri District was literally transformed into a reptilian market as chameleons of all shapes and sizes were turned up


The farmers were so infuriated they went to the main roads and released their cargo of chamelions.
Road haikua inapitika as chamelions of all shapes colour and sizes walked to freedom.

woi afadhali crocodile.But research.
Don't let this story discourage you.

Afadhali snails.

Chameleon are endangered species . You need a license from KWS to handle them. On a lighter note imagine introducing yourself as a millionare wa chameleons .
Peace be with you

Just asking. What are chamelions famed for by the way?

I think once you are aware, you can find market get into a contract and start farming.
Do not do it the Tambaya way!
This serikali won't help you get market but will throw the idea at you.
Like I see so many people with rabbits but nowhere to sell.
