Hey guys, My Pygmy chameleons began hatching yesterday, with one having no problems at all. The second had the back half of his body seemingly stuck in the egg for over 24 hours, so I made the decision to help him out, which I think was the right thing to do. He is now happily wandering...

Think I might have answered this one myself! I am pretty sure this eye business might be due to dehydration. Just took at look at my hygrometer and it's broken! It's stuck on 80%, so the humidity is probably much lower. I've given the cage a really heavy spray and she's started drinking. She...

Hey guys, I've noticed the past few days that my Female R.brevicaudatus keeps closing her guys for a couple of minutes, every few minutes. They are often very small anyway, but enlarge when she sees prey. She also tends to just sit in one corner of the tank. She seems alert otherwise, and the...

Just finished adding the last touches to my Rieppeleon brevicaudatus vivarium. I installed a small 8W flourescent bulb today; much better now I can see them! I was a bit worried it would be too bright for them, but they have quite a few shaded places to retreat to. What do you guys do for...

Haha, thanks guys! Compared to the beast of a Yemen I used to keep these guys just seem so minute. I read the females can reach up to 3", which is why I questioned her maturity. I am so excited about breeding them. The male seems to be fine around her at the moment, though I noticed every now...

Hey Guys, Thought I would introduce myself, having recently got back into Chameleon keeping. I have never kept dead leaf/ground Chameleons before, and when I found some Rieppeleon brevicaudatus for sale I couldn't resist! They arrived yesterday, and I still can't get over how tiny they are...
