You have already reaped the benefits of this project by reading the papers and integrating the information in text, and that is something I and many others do and should want to support :) . Especially if you are an undergrad! That exercise alone is key for gaining experience with any field you...

OK then Petr, how would you like to proceed then? If you don't see value with this discussion then we don't have to continue. I find some of your statements interesting and worth further questioning and discussion, but I don't find your above replies sufficient to fully address my points...

That’s an excellent point which I really appreciate. Above I was more referencing bees for that moment but totally true. Not enough people give credit to beetles in particular as great pollinators as well!

Yes, I can understand that and I'm sorry for the negative feelings that discourse here has produced in the past. Thank you, that sounds great :) I appreciate your humble and amicable approach in this reply!

If you are interested in further discourse, I will distill some concrete points below and would definitely be interested in your thoughts about them. However, I'm disappointed that this is how you phrase your response, especially as I didn't attack you personally whatsoever (and had/have no...

A lot of great stuff here, and I might respond to it in more detail later. However, I want to push back on the bee pollen thing a bit. I use it sometimes, and it's probably relatively harmless in moderation. But the claim that it's ubiquitous in the wild for chameleons is extremely debatable and...

I think a lot die off each year but not all, probably a bit less extreme than labordi. Each year, they come in as pretty beaten up adults at the beginning of the rainy season, and then as vibrant young adults a couple of months later, which to me indicates that some survive each year through the...

I am writing up a few small studies right now. One of which is assessing the impact of keeping chameleons indoors vs. outdoors. The preliminary conclusion is that keeping outdoors seems to allow for a wider range of outcomes in growth rates, possibly due to more natural dominance behaviors when...

I agree with a lot of what has been said and have thoughts on these articles that I don't feel the need to share at length at this time. I think there is definitely some truth here and I practice a lot of what is described here (BSF adults are great feeders, for instance!). However, I would...

Love to see this, congratulations! What a wonderful little species. Well done!

Wonderful job :) you have a male and a female.

Male calumma malthe in presence of female

Be sure to supplement the mother and offspring with preformed vitamin A when possible, reptivite is an easy way to do so. I do this and I suspect it does help maintain viability.

I am making available some CBB brookesia thieli. They're juveniles (not hatchlings) so are eating pinhead-1/8" crickets and all kinds of fruit flies. I can sell females or a pair. 3 unrelated lines available, probably a fourth one available in a couple of months. I have a full care guide on them...

Unfortunately, this egg is dead. It will not hatch. It is covered in mold and the liquid is basically necrosis. My condolences
