I don't know how long the first one was dead. With the high temperatures and humidity, the decay process is sped up significantly, so it could have been anywhere from 1.5-3 days, I think.

They both died so close to eachother, I can only assume it wasn't coincidence. I found a dead plant in there yesterday covered in fungus... I didn't even see it before. When they died I took their bodies to my forensics teacher, Dr. Berkemeier. She immediately diagnosed a fungal infection based...

Thank you.

thanks! ^^

So, I've got... female, male, male. Consensus?

damn... here I was all excited about new females to breed. oh well, thanks for your help Brad ^^

when google-imaging "r. temporalis chameleon"... All of these are males, except the last one. Vishnu IS, I have no doubt of it now, a temporalis pygmy.

That looks just like him!

So are we sure Kali Ma is a male at this point?
