How do chams know what constitutes acceptable prey in the territories new for them? Chameleons evolved approx. 100 millions of years ago in eastern Africa. During their long evolution, they naturally spread to neighboring territories and conquered parts of Southern and central Europe, east...

I am sorry to come so late. Ut if you count the number if scales in the lRietal creat, uou get tk the conclusion itnis actually FURCIFER MAJOR and NOT F viridis…

If you count the number of scales on the canthus parietalis, you will find out that in fact You have Furcifer major For me, it would be a good news… Just adjust the conditions a bit They are from the sry south living predominantly at thronbush They like it dry and mild at daytime and Cold and...

The issue is, this soft tissue features is quite dubious and may not work. All chameleons have armpits same as humans :))) the problem od Madcham is they have errors in the descriptions. Go better with the original description paper of F. viridis...

COLORS AND PATTERNS in female Yemen chameleons I repeatedly see misinterpreting the coloration of females Let us clarify There is a distinction between the females who get gravid first time (primipara) and the ones second and further time (multipara). Primipara: Neutral colors: uniform green...

I did not want to go so deep in detail, almost all statements and paragraphs can be deciphered in detail of course. Here, the meaning is “they need to eat and drink more in same time period to maintain homeiostasis” (replace with to stay at same weight, to maintain same metabolic ballance)...

Nice to meet you

OK, please work on the scope and description otherwise you get something unusable As is, the explanation is simple: yes of course you need no supplements if yiu gutload the feeders lroperly and use proper aua But this has been proven by Mother Nature for millions of years. I have many years...

DO NOT OVERHEAT THE YEMEN CHAMELEON! WE ARE OVERHEATING More than 90% of the mighty Yemen chameleons are facing heavy overheating in captivity. I do not understand it, because nowadays, it is so easy to get reliable information about their country of origin, where they inhabit high mountain...

Frankly, I miss here a bit of scientific approach What is the hypothesis What has been researched yet What is it good for What will it ring What are rhe risks What methods will you use to measure what Why you chose such hummongous open air cage? Etc etc For me, you do not know what you do...

BAMBOO ALERT Bamboo is a type of woody grass that belongs to the family Poaceae. It is known for its tall, slender, and hollow stems, called culms, which grow in various sizes and colors. Bamboo is native mainly to Asia and is widely cultivated for its versatile uses. It has been used for...

Anyway great effort Usually they die within one year or so. So that was a great succes back then! Yes thez brumate 1-2months, rhey dig themaelves in shallow holes in debris and under leaves

This specie is really extreme, as it survives in extreme environments or latitudes, so they use extreme strategies… very revularily, their distribution is in the mediterranean region confined wither to gogh altitudes ful of fog (Yemen and Saudi Arabia - I have seen dozens there) and in the...

As per the from lake drinking chameleon. I consider it a big exception and frankly without the comment, the pocture does not show a chameleon drinking. Thorsten is for whatever reason a vigorous opponent of fogging and I have the suspicion - well I do not want to be offensive, so I keep my...

As far as I can, judge, not only from Madagascar, but also continental Africa, where are you find most of the chameleons in the disturbed area, and not in the primary rainforest, but rather in the secondary one, all the strata of the forest are hit by the fog equally, I have not observed any...

With all respect, I am not that enthusiastic about this idea, because the ability of lungs to take in the droplets of fog is limited by the size of the droplets and my understanding after debates with physiologist is that they are rather small, then bigger. The bigger ones flood the alveoli and...

Frankly, based on my reaearch the fogger oroduced waywr particles fully fall into the size range of natiral fog. Here, again, caution is advised because fog is not an objective term, but a term defined for the purposes of aviatic and marine navigation and has much to do with visibility rather...

I agree, besides of obvious caterpilars, itnrefers mainly to beetles: e.g. Cetoniidae, which are countless in madagascar and other territories and I found them often in the fecal samples

This is very interesting and fir me quite strange. It must be somehow bias of the methodology and lights used I guess or maybe a small sample? Though the babies of F lateralis live less exposed to sun than the adults, which is one of the few species getting extremely high doses of UV in the...

Ansolitely agree. The fatherhood would be a mess as the female A would after mating with D anyway produce first eggs from B, then mixed and then only from D. You would never know which is which, as there is no way testing it. So keep the same pairs is better. You will anyway have a mess as you...
