Unless he specifically bought temporalis then they are brevs; i know what mike usually gets.

More or less most try to shoot for solid blue with little to no red in Nosy Bes, thats what sort of separates that local from the others.

They look like blue eye leaf chameleons (Rhampholeon nchisiensis)(from Cameroon) and they usually lay a larger clutch. -Mike

The Importer is just a guy who basically sells animals wholesale or can very well be a breeder or vendor himself. They really don't let the public in unless you spend a lot or use cash lol. They name the price and you buy them. WC panthers (and some other cites animals) are actually pretty...

There are importers and exporters all around the world for reptiles; many come from Africa and South America were reptiles and amphibians are abundant. Well Madagascar for instance has a quota on how many cites animals they can send out like panthers, those get distributed to various importers...

sure, otherwise all morphs would be 50/50

What kind of chameleons? A lot of chameleons have a different color pattern when gravid. If the female is close to laying you can feel the eggs inside of her, just gently feel her stomach if you feel round objects then she has eggs.

Why even measure the weight? Is it for you own data? I think the best thing to do is pick a small sample size of like 5 chams and measure their weight if you have to, that way you don't have to mess with the other 35. They should all grow at a pretty even rate so they will all be around the...

Chris and i agree (inside joke) that veileds and panthers have an average life span of 5-7 years.

I would get a large rubbermaid tub, put paper towel on the bottom, with like 2 pair of fake plastic leaves (easy to clean) then spread bug stop (i use this http://www.proexotics.com/store/product.php?productid=16230&cat=257&page=1 ) around the inside rim of the tub and have a constant supply...
