Not sure of any breeders on the west coast.

Hi, what province are you in? Isabelle Gagnon in QC works with some species including Lateralis. She's on FB. Chameleons Canada ON sometimes has a couple CB chams but mostly brings in wild caught. Chameleons of Canada FB group might have some leads but I barely use FB.

I waited until my female was approx. 1 year old and she weighed 14 grams before attempting to breed. I know some breeders will attempt sooner but it's important to give the female time to develop and be hardier for the breeding stress.

If you need to use lamps after sunset, I would suggest draping dark curtain around the enclosure to block the lamps light. Please Do Not drape anything over the light fixtures!

I also tried the 5 gallon bin with no success. I found my female trying to get out rather than dig. Shortly after placing her back in the enclosure she scattered the eggs without issue.

🤣 she's all about ABBA, new wave and classics. Thankfully we have plenty of headphones. 😁

Bill Strand has also a line of enclosures at Custom Reptile Habitats. They're pricey but very well built with chameleons in mind.

Lateralis is the species. My wife dies the naming of my pets. Tool definitely made an impact on the music scene with Lateralus. 🤘

I won't be housing the chameleons together. For now I'm using a 12x12x18 exoterra and will be moving them into 18x18x36 enclosures after a month.

Fascinating!

Luckily only waiting for 1 more to pop so I'll be ready. But yeah, as as I get home I'm watching the goober. I live watching chams do their thing without interrupting them.

Thanks Eliza. 😊

December 1st surprise! Can't express the joy of finding this little goober hatching out.

Hi, diy chameleon guys have a great tutorial on the chameleon academy youtube channel about building a drainage layer. You can use plastic corrugate board for the bottom and silicone seal the border. Check out rhe video. Really helpful.

I don't have much experience breeding chameleons but have read this behavior can be related to looking for a mate.
