Sorry for the delay, here are some thoughts about this :) . I think the results are valid and not simply due to a low sample size (especially as the initial power analysis determined that n=6 per group is statistically sufficient to detect the difference I'd expect), but every experiment of...

You have a male Brookesia superciliaris there. They can be tricky but that one looks to be in great condition. I don't have a full care guide written on them yet but I do have one for B. thieli that is largely applicable. If you PM me I can send it. Also check out this podcast discussing...

Definitely, very worth discussing and happy to do so, will respond more thoroughly a bit later

Super interesting, I have heard of Olaf but never spoke with him myself. This is also really good info! What other insects were referred to as juicy? Caterpillars definitely make sense to me. I didn't see any caterpillars that weren't covered in some kind of irritating hair/barbs when I was...

Sure, thanks for the kind words :) Yes, I have read the fog drinking article and am familiar with Archaius.eu!

Thanks for your comments Petr :) No, I did not observe what I would call deliberate or targeted drinking, it was more like an incidental swallow and it was only once. An adult male parsonii that was found in a jackfruit tree was brought down while it was raining lightly. During that time, some...

These are not centipedes (carnivorous), but instead are greenhouse millipedes (detritivores/herbivores). More later but I hope that helps a little!

Now for some thoughts about fog, mist, and rain. Just sharing some observations, whether this actually matters and provides a clear path forward to improving chameleon care remains to be seen. Fogging and misting are kind of tense topics that I'm not trying to stir up too bad but I just wanted...

Whoa! I was in Madagascar so somehow missed this! Hooray!

Thanks for the papers, wonderful content and thanks for digging them up! Just what I wanted to find. I couldn't see the facebook post, it's just the brookesia facebook group for me for some reason but not anything specific. But maybe it's one of my posts in that group? Well, I might have seen...

Wow, nice find! I wasn't aware of this literature. I'd like to see a similar study done in more commonly kept species like B. thieli, superciliaris, therezieni, but this is super interesting!

Male F. lateralis found near a road in Madagascar.

Sure did, I photographed all the ones on my list! Although some photos are better/clearer than others :) I'll share some of those soon.

Same, I had heard other brookesia sleep a bit off the ground, but I didn't expect what I found with thieli! Also wasn't expecting so many brookesia on big thick logs and tree trunks.
