Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her cham. It is so small. She looks like, one of those herp guys' girlfriends. But, y'know, who understands those herp guys anyways? They only talk to her, because, she looks good in khaki's, 'kay? I mean, her cham, is just so small. I can't believe it's just so ungrateful, it's like, out there, I mean - gross. Look! She's just so ... COOL!
I like small chams and I can not lie. You other keepers can't deny...

Chris can explain better than I, I'm sure; but CITES listed the Furcifer labordi as Appendix 2 in 1977 and the IUCN (red list) listed them as vulnerable in the wild in 2000. They have not been exported in many years.

Now I'm not sure how those particular specimens arrived in captivity; they could have been smuggled, they could have been collected and shipped as lateralis for instance, but no matter what, they don't belong in a plastic box. I'd rather see them in their natural habitat. That's the shame.

Interesting.

I hope whoever has them knows what they're doing.

Aren't these the ones that only live four or five months from birth to death?

Friend of mine found them in the market place and brought them to me with plastic box. Occasionally we can find lateralis in the market but this is first appear in the market. Any special attention to them? Now they are kept in reptile cage
