Stealthy? That makes you more likely to be shot at. Besides, for the Oustalets, it's not the locals with guns, it's a Dept. of Ag. cops with night vision goggles you have to worry about.

Hey man, I'm one of the guys working with FWC on the Oustalet's down in Florida. I don't think you have anything to worry about: They literally dig several feet down here and are honestly good at breeding/laying and dang near impossible to kill. -Josh

Thoroughly enjoyed the series, Chris.:D

Neither anti-keeping nor anti-this forum in any way, as I keep chams as well. I was referring to my work with exotic chameleons in southern Florida about which I've talked with Chris quite a bit. It's nice seeing them in their native habitat (where they should be,) instead of in the wild in...

Good to see a field post on this forum. I was about to quit. Good stuff Chris - It's cool to see chams in the wild where they're SUPPOSED to be.

Definitely a Calotes.

You sure all the clutches have been infertile? She didn't store any sperm from the previous breeding?

First off, a common species like a flapneck can probably be sustainably harvested, especially if it's only for personal pets. For finding them, my suggestion would be yes, look at night with a flashlight - but walk slow and go over good looking habitat (hedges/etc.) several times at...

What is your location? What's the habitat like?

What color is the dewlap? Occums Razor would say Anolis carolinensis, like Chris said. Definitely not A. equestris - here's a example of that species. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5245/5344799467_84d2928393_b.jpg Edit: my bad, I didn't realize there was a pg 2

A little bump with an update. A friend of mine found a new population of Oustalet's chameleons in Florida and I've been able to get down there and grab some pictures. Like I said, if anybody can help me out; the spots will stay with me and a couple of co-researchers. Here's one of the WC Oust's

I don't think you'd have territorial issues. Here in Florida we fine em' clumped together a few to a tree. Here's one of the ones found a few weeks ago... I keep my two oust's together no problem.

Where exactly are there chameleons in Vero Beach?

The females are gorgeous if you don't like the boys.

Over two and a half feet?! It's amazing what a well balanced diet and good lighting will do ;-)
