Breeding Rieppeleon brevicaudatus

Hello,

I was wondering about everything about breeding these wonderful little Chameleons. Questions will spring up when I learn more about these. I have read a Care Sheet off of Fl Chams. I know more than I did, and I was just wondering about more of this awesome species.

Thanks in advance for the Information.

Adcham can answer all your questions.

Thanks. But I can't think of any.

BTW...its spelled Rhampholeon

OK? This is how it was spelled on Fl Chams.

Rieppeleon brevicaudatus is Rhampholeon brevicaudatus.

Here's an article on them...

Instead of asking about breeding every species you can think of, why don't you research it on Google? If you can't find your answers, then post specific questions pertaining to it.

It is simple actually. Follow the set up instuctions and care sheets on Mike's website, add a male and a few females, and they will breed. All you get to do is dig up the eggs and incubate.

Not any more. They were switched to the genus Rieppeleon about three years ago: http://www.chameleonnews.com/revisionsramph.html

Thanks for the update! Sorry for the misinformation LPR. I've never heard of this. How many chams are in this catagory? Their all pygmies I assume? Thanks again. David

Because I'm buying these? I was just getting information.

Don't understand what your referring to. David

Chameleontario said something about my threads.

Those chameleons weren't the only ones whose names changed recently. Maybe Chris can give the details?

There have been a bunch of changes to the Bradypodion genus as well. I have an author working on an article outlining that change for this E-Zine issue which I'm hoping will be out in a week or two.

Hmm, interesting. I didn't know any changed names. Thanks for the info Chris.

At the current time only three species



•Rieppeleon brachyurus GÜNTHER 1893
•Rieppeleon brevicaudatus MATSCHIE 1892
•Rieppeleon kerstenii PETERS 1868

You can find more out on the changes here -

Hi,

here are some links about keeping and breeding some Rhampholeons and Rieppeleons:

If this isn't enough for you I strongly recommend the book from Petr Necas:

It's worth every penny
