    i went to the gym

    Jeez man! That's seriously impressive. I weigh about 170 lbs and come nowhere close to those numbers. You've become a beast!

    Bioactive in a hybrid dragon strand.

    For the other lazy people out there (like me), here's an easier option. What's the point in adding a root pouch? It's a permeable container. Might as well just toss in substrate and have the cage itself become that permeable container for you. I use leap habitats, but before you say "Yeah, but...

    Brookesia on display!

    Do you have any pics of the side? Viewing a side profile of the animal makes it a lot easier to see if there is a hemipenal bulge present or not.

    Huston we have a problem

    I would definitely trim it back in a few places. Make sure that enough water from the mister is getting distributed around the cage. Sometimes, a few leaves really close to the misting nozzle will block the majority of water getting sprayed into the enclosure which hinders drinking...

    A BIG Welcome Back to Lynda (Kinyonga)

    Welcome back! Though I'm not sure if I'm in a position to welcome you back if I'm never online here in the first place... I feel like I just walked into a room and pretended to be here all along. I too have been offline since August and long before that ;) Regardless, it's always reassuring to...

    Brookesia on display!

    Mature adult males will have a noticeable hemipenal bulge - at least in the most commonly available species like thieli, stumpffi, superciliaris, and therezieni. I've heard species like ebenaui might be a little trickier to sex. If you have pictures of animals that you would like to get sexed...

    US Brookesia sp. or Rieppeleon

    The import season extends far past the holiday season. If you're looking for a healthy animal, getting some in February or March is a good time since most animals will be recovered from the dry season, giving them an additional buffer to endure the whole importation process. You'll usually see...

    What are some good Brookesia appropriate plants of Madagascar?

    This is such an awesome thread @yoteango! I've been thinking about trying out Madagascar Jasmine (Stephanotis) for some time, though I just haven't gotten around to it. I plan on doing a massive pygmy enclosure overhaul soon, so perhaps I'll steal your plant list and give it a try ;) For...

    Parasite treatment in leaf chameleons (Brookesia stumpffi)

    @javadi knows a lot more about this than I do. I personally have never bothered treating Brookesia for parasites. Though, if I'm not wrong, @javadi has experience medicating pygmies. He did a podcast episode not too long ago with Bill Strand on the Chameleon Academy podcast, and I think he...

    Would anyone be interested in working with bradypodion thamnobates

    I was actually looking into this myself just a couple of weeks ago. I even got the license needed to import animals with USFW. Then I reached out to the most prominent breeder of Bradypodion thamnobates in EU. This guy primarily breeds two locales of Bradypodion thamnobates, Nottingham Road and...

So with that said, happy belated 20th to the chameleon forums! This was the first place I ever felt like I belonged, so I truly owe a debt of gratitude to this...

    Meet Archibald

    Such a lovely little respectable man! I love the name Archibald lol. He sure is bald, so it seems like and apt name. I think I get a little too invested in your chameleon family. But I'm so glad that you have taken in Archi under your wing. He's definitely going to be living it up at your place!

    Can carpet/pigmy chams live with dart frogs?

    For pygmy chameleons, you could get away with an established springtail colony. Isopods can nibble into pygmy chameleon eggs causing damage.

    Can carpet/pigmy chams live with dart frogs?

    Pygmies from Madagascar require much more drastic seasonal temperature fluctuations than tropical dart frogs from south America. The solution? Look into Mantellas. They are the dart frogs of Madagascar. They are very colorful and take similar care parameters to pygmies. The problem is not many...
