I'm twenty-two.

Good show! I just love the way dilepis look.

Wow. (Getting to ten characters...)

Alright, guys. I'm satisfied with 1) the case of the Hawaiian xantholophus, 2) the absence of natural selection in captive breeding, and 3) the potentially insufficient nutrition etc. in captive husbandry, as three very strong explanations for the dearth of generations past F5. Thank you all...

I don't have a chameleon, but when I do, I'll probably still be living in Greater Cincinnati :)

Sorry if it wasn't clear. Yes, my question is general because A. Abate's reported opinion was that chameleons are not viable past the fourth or fifth captive generation--generally. I took her to mean that any captive population is unsustainable without diversifying its gene pool, e.g. through...

Trace, I'm glad you elaborated. Thank you! And that data is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the feeding data, too. I would love to see more of this type of information, from you and any keeper who's willing to plot it out. I know it's tedious, so I greatly appreciate the effort...

You're not the first to review them with such enthusiasm, Trace. Too bad they're not around anymore, eh? Any idea what that 2005 company was called? Thanks for replying, -S

Thanks to everyone for the helpful and entertaining replies!

Thanks for the replies! Let me know if anyone finds that post by Dave. I did a quick search, but no luck.

I have to congratulate you (Kammers, too:))--this guy's the prettiest pardalis I've seen, and my thing is for Nosy Bes!

Not a one?

Ethics are complex, no? :-)
