The headlamp is ready to go! I learned how annoying normal flashlights can be in Peru, so I bought a decent headlamp for this adventure haha

Those pictures are awesome - stunning hatchlings!

I will definitely be on the look out for some white! And I definitely need to get a GPS, ASAP.

I've actually already talked to Chris - he's given me some great advice! (: Just looked through your thread, Jann - so awesome!

Hey guys. So, in about 2.5 weeks I'll be headed to Madagascar - for almost four months! I'm doing study abroad, so all of my time can't be devoted to chameleons/other wildlife, but it's a biodiversity program so much of it will be anyway. Our home base will be in Fort Dauphin (Tolagnaro)...

I don't have access to the journal, but this paper seems like a good starting point: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S109564330400323X (Although do note that this discusses embryonic development, not adults.)

Conventional wisdom says you'll be better off with a screen cage instead of a glass viv. This makes the whole "natural" thing harder, but not impossible.

Window screen isn't too dark or thick, so a 5.0 should be good especially since the cage is small (I wouldn't worry about over exposure even with a 10.0 though unless there isn't anyeherevforvthe champ to escape the UVB and be in cooler/warmer temps.

Actually, if you have a dark/thick mesh it can block a cert substantial amount of UVB.

I would say that since the length and width dimensions match it should fit; height really shouldn't matter in a try - they probably only include that because thats the standard size of whatever brand of cage they sell.

Ive been looking into getting a Jacksons cham but haven't seen many CB/CBB available. However, Underground Reptiles does have WC Jacksonii jacksonii, which is actually the subspecies I was looking for. Does anyone have any advice in regards to acclimating these Guyana if I do buy one?

I'm looking for a single male Jackson's, either juvenile or adult preferred. Subspecies isnt incredibly important. Thanks!

I think I've already found someone local to take him, so I might not need to ship at all! :)

It all depends on personal color preferences

Sire is Ny-Rantsana ("My Branch") from Kammerflage. I'm not sure what I'm looking for him, perhaps $175 +shipping. I am open to offers, of course. I can't accept Paypal, so payment will have to be a USPS Money Order. (If you want another way to pay, let me know and I'll see if I can work with...
