Nope, Carpets are Furcifer lateralis, Furcifer minor are sometimes called the "lesser chameleon" although its quite rare to hear them called this. Same Genus different species.
This is strange as i found a distinct difference in colouration between nosy be and nosy komba when i was out there back in april, the kombas seems to show a very different base colour. I also found some very bright blue (aswell as green) nosy bes in ulang ulang plantations along the side of the...
North of madagascar? Do you know if there is any evidence of this? Ive also heard rumours of them being on nosy be but really dont believe it! Unless they have been introduced there by someone.
He certainly is a nice looking boy and very differant from what the typical animals look like in ambanja, but im still confused, was he wild caught or captive bred?
forgot to mention if this animal was imported from mad and happened to come from one of the erm... "conservation farms" then it could well be anything as all locales are chucked in together.

hi mario,yes i have heard this and am a little worried regarding safty, we were planning on staying in ambositra region and maybe trying to find some populations of minor a little closer to this area rather than having to travel to far west to itremo, have you stayed in ambositra before and is...
I live in the uk, and i have not attempted breeding yet, and wont be doing until they have spend some time in thier outdoor enclosures this summer, i only got them last year and the male was tiny tiny when i first got him but is now just coming to maturity. I am hoping that once that they settle...
Exellent, i hope you have a really good trip, i myself am going there in two weeks time and am very excited indeed! The first half of the trip is similar to your stage 3 itinery with a few other places being visited around fiana,ambositra and itremo. What is the date you get back we may bump...
