Update: 1.1 Furcifer antimena spoken for. Furcifer major still available.

I have an opportunity for a very experienced keeper. I am leaving for Madagascar on February 23rd, but had some chameleons hatch at the worst time. I would usually make these available when they got much bigger, but I have some very small CBB furcifer antimena babies (1.1) and 1 CBB furcifer...

This setup would work for Brookesia, but I wouldn't go for carpets, as I would guess they would develop an RI in that enclosure.

That's me :) If you already got access to the RH journal for the thieli article, then the stumpffi article will be appearing in the next issue and you'll probably get access to that as well, so I will send you the preprint. Thanks for supporting the journal!

For some reason I didn't get notified of being tagged in this thread. Some good suggestions thus far. They have certainly lost weight based on their appearance, which suggests that there is a health problem and not just a dormancy brought on by environmental conditions. If you want to learn more...

@Mendez above gives some good suggestions and it will help to answer the questions he poses. Firstly, are they males or females? A female losing weight is sometimes more concerning than males because developing eggs can act as a nidus for infection (that males don't have) which can present as...

Major are still hatching but 4 so far, no losses and hopefully another 6 or so will be hatching soon, not sure what the final hatch rate will be, but all eggs look good. Only 3 antimena so far but no losses. Two eggs didn't make it and the clutch was small. Hopefully more soon from another...

Would you be willing to share some of these documented studies? I'd love to take a look.

Haven’t posted on all this in a while. 3 more Malagasy species have hatched over the last several months after pairing in captivity. Furcifer major. Hatched at 6.8 months with a 40 day 60 degree diapause. Only ones in the US to my knowledge. Furcifer antimena. Hatched at about 9 months...

Yes, that is gravid coloration. They will sometimes show this for a long time without actually having eggs develop however, especially this time of year. "non-receptive" coloration is a more accurate description, and this could be due to being gravid already or being stressed from the dry season...

100% Male

There are no Rieppeleon nor Rhampholeon in the U.S. They are even rare in Europe. This may change if more countries (Tanzania) open for export but as of right now there is a 0% chance of finding them in the U.S. Brookesia are another story. Very rare captive bred, but imported from time to...

Most of the questions have been answered appropriately and well by other members :) Supplements can be the same as for something like a panther. Nothing too special for lats. It is better to go with less supplement vs. oversupplementing though. In part because giving too much might exacerbate...

Wild caught brookesia species tend to have parasites but it's not usually necessary to treat them unless there is a high enough load of parasites or you see their health declining. I don't typically bother unless they are losing weight or have other issues. The above posts give good info. I...

No problem :) hope it helps! They are 100% lying if they claim this is a captive bred animal. There have been no documented captive breedings of this species in many years. Even if there were, the offspring would not likely be found at a pet store.

OK, that's reassuring then. Wet appearing right after laying is fine :) If only the tiniest amount of water comes out when squeezed, things are good. Did she dig to lay the eggs or scatter?

Most of them don't look immediately problematic, which is good. Some are somewhat poorly formed though. Was this from a wild caught female by chance? I'd expect a few of the eggs to go bad, but the others have a good chance. Some look a bit shinier than I would expect of healthy eggs. Were they...

I have not personally kept them, but I have worked with and talked extensively with several individuals who have. They can be kept like panther chameleons, but go towards the lower range of acceptable temperatures and offer water a bit more frequently. This appears to be a female, but the sexes...

Yes, senegalensis.

Because I produced them. Everyone knows the animals I produce all end up looking that way.
