Some CBB calumma roaloko (the only ones in the world to my knowledge, enough now for F2s from unrelated pairs) growing well, and a chunky and gravid calumma linotum. These tiny calummas are some of my favorites.

Definitely :) just wanted to mention it

Thanks so much for sharing Bill. I am so sorry this happened to Emily but so pleased she seems to be recovering! As you know, I have had spider bites in chameleons before as well. I might add that spiders can occur in any setup, and are not limited to bioactive. I'd argue they might be a bit...

Healing process was very easy and fast. The key is to leave the tail as vascularized as possible and cutting right at the boundary of the dead tissue vs. living tissue. It can then be cleaned immediately after. If husbandry is good, the cut doesn't even need further treatment and will usually...

Very odd. However there's more of his tail left than I was expecting. The good news is that as long as it doesn't get infected, he should be fine as far as overall reproductive ability and activity. I have had baby chameleons where I had to amputate almost the entire tail, and they grew up fine...

Can you provide pictures? There is some evidence that they will target their tails and other body parts when shedding, and sometimes it can get out of hand. How much has been damaged? I'd be interested in seeing the region of the tail close up. Does he attempt to swallow it?

Haha yes, the depths of my delusions know no bounds. The nerve of artificial incubation.... Glad I snuck into this contest just in time to avoid the inevitable smear campaign!

I think it's a great point of discussion. It was addressed above a bit, but I guess then the question becomes, what do we want the chameleons to gain by eating vegetables? I would argue that not being able to digest them does not equal them being bad to consume. It's not just about calories...

Two clutches laid, although small numbers. This seems to be normal though. Hopefully more soon. Interestingly, they seemed to prefer laying in tunnels dug under leaf litter. I am going to experiment with incubation and see what I find.

Retained sperm, it seems.
