Hello, I have a dozen 6-month-old CB T. jacksonii xantholophus ready for new homes. The mother came in as part of the first shipment from Kenya last year, and they are thriving. I have a few males and lots of females. They are $125 + overnight shipping via ShipYourReptiles (FedEx), or they...

I hit my limit of photos above, so here are some more. CBB (F1) Ri. brevicaudatus (hatched last night): CBB (F1) Ri. brevicaudatus (holdback female): CBB (F1) Ri. brevicaudatus (male): CBB (F1) Rh. temporalis: CB female Rh. temporalis right after laying eggs: CB female Rh...

Hello, I have been working with Rieppeleon brevicaudatus and Rhampholeon temporalis for a few years and have a number of surplus males for sale. The animals available are adult and captive-born (from long-term wild-collected females). I have a number of young CBB (true F1) that should be ready...

Hello, I have a couple new clutches of captive-born (from wild-collected adults) Rieppeleon brevicaudatus and various clutches of Rhampholeon temporalis from three different bloodlines ready for new homes. I have a number of subadult male Ri. brevicaudatus (no more females) born in January of...

Hello, I have a clutch of captive-born (from collected adults) bearded pygmy chameleons (Rieppeleon brevicaudatus) ready for new homes. This clutch was hatched in late January 2016 and is well-established. I also have a couple other genetically-diverse clutches of younger animals that should be...

Sure, the 5D Mark II is a great camera (still crappy for professional video applications with its rolling shutter artifacts and no 24p, or 25 in your case, frame rate), but a very good camera nonetheless (maybe Canon will learn to not punish their customers by giving the 5D a firmware upgrade...

For its price range, the Nikon D90 is the single best solution currently in the market. Between Canon and Nikon, I prefer Nikon's glass, ergonomics and on-camera controls. The Nikon D90 has a video capability, but like all DSLRs, its rolling shutter produces a horrendous "jello" artifact, so...

Hey Josh (and Michelle), Thanks for the photos-- they look fantastic! I am glad to see they are doing so well for you. I promise I will try to upload a photo of the jacksonii today. Cheers, Fabián

Generally, juvenile xantholophus display a brown/reddish coloration, but as they mature, the imminent greens begin to emerge (and why so many "red" xantholophus sold for ridiculous prices eventually "disappoint" their broke owners. This one has already started showing her greens recently: The...

With a mentor like you, how could one not? :) Hey Martin. There were 6 huge neonates, all of which are alive, active and eating well. They began feeding the very next day on flightless Drosophila melanogaster, and on pin-head crickets the same week, which are almost always present on a small...

Hey Josh, the little jacksonii jacksonii is doing very well-- had his first shed this week since he arrived. I'll have some photos for you soon... Cheers, Fabián

Today is cleaning day in the chameleon room, so everyone was outside for a few minutes while their enclosures were being disinfected. Since I started photographing the new clutch of merumontanus, I figured I'd photograph everyone. Here's an update on the clutch of nominate Jackson's chameleons...

Glad you like them as much as I do. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction, and we can some day get to see multiple, real, filial generations of merumontanus. In the meantime, I will probably keep any and all animals that make it past the "critical point", unless there are too many...
