How about some habitat shots?

I have 22 Bradypodion thamnobates available from a litter born 27 January 2016. The are roughly 1/3rd grown and are feeding on blue bottle and false stable flies with gusto. The majority of males are red-sided, like the animal below. $250/ea + shipping at buyer's expense. Quantity discounts...

A month later, all doing well, doubling in size, and showing off new colors every day.

"Locale" = the father is "Howick", the mother is "Mooi River."

Last spring I got a hold of some young Bradypodion thamnobates via Chameleons International and finally crossed off a species I've wanted to work with since I was a child. There were on the small end when I received them, basically only able to eat Drosophila hydei and bean weevils, but they...

This [=probably intrinsic reproductive isolation] is the most interesting thing I've read on these forums.

I felt like I preached too harshly. But yeah, I should have left that: I find it hard to believe the hobby will find long term success unless enough keepers will get large groups (3-5pairs). And while I revisit this: just do a flickr search or google image search for Madagascar chameleon...

These prices are exorbitant and will not encourage the rapid development of husbandry regiments that lead to long term (f5 and higher) success for the majority of the hobby. I know the coming months we'll see lots of baby pictures on the forum but not as many as the hobby deserves to see...

What are your two examples? The examples you posted on the previous page are all introductions attempted with the oversight of a conservation oriented institution.

Why only being able to breed to F3 or F4 is impossible The statement that F. minor can only be bred to F3 or F4 is false. It has to be false in this universe. If a species cannot be inbred for 3 or 4 generations then the inbreeding depression is so large this species could not exist in...

So, again, can/will you tell us where you got her from?

Where did you obtain this animal?
