As much as everyone is trying to avoid buying from petstores you will never stop them from stocking chameleons. The only thing you can do is try educate them a bit. Maybe offer to setup the cages for their chameleons. If I see a petstore with a dodgy setup I always give them my opinion. Lately...

Yeah not 100% ambilobe but still a very good looking panther.

Sorry for your losses Rafael. Its disheartening when such things happen.

Ignorance. Don't think I could let 50+ eggs slip my mind.

Very impressive chameleons. What sortof cage have you got that Ambato in? The spacing of the wire makes me think a bird aviary kind of cage? I've been thinking of getting some to put in my garden, planted heavily, for my veileds to stay in for the entire summer.

That would be correct as the fans overhead will constantly dry the surface of the eye that is exposed to the air. The eye is initially coated so that it can prevent infections and to help remove small particles/substances that can get into the eye. If the eye is constantly dried out you will...

Thanks Chris, for that info on the Ch. namaquensis outside of southern Africa. Dr. Tolley is always so dedicated to her work and the conservation of South African chameleon species specifically. If just half of Natcon were made up of members such as Dr. Tolley we wouldn't be having so many...

This species numbers have been decreasing drastically due to people catching them and smuggling to Europe (possibly Asia and the U.S.A too) and a new project is being put into place to try and stop this, they are planning on catching wild specimens and placing microchips in them so that NatCon...

I see why some people are saying female. But Im gonna go with male. He will colour up nicely. He has some yellow coming in And from the looks of it...Blue bar, but way too young to tell at the moment. Keep updates of this little guy, I want to see if Im right with sexing it :D

I saw this guy selling as well. I also said to him that they are way too small for 7 months old. There was thread posted on a south African forum about someone stealing a veiled from a shop and I have this funny feeling that this is the guy that stole the cham and he is trying to sell it now...

Elaine, just out of curiosity, who is the breeder that you bought your baby veiled from? Also congrats on getting the new little one.

sorry I couldnt get back to you sooner Mr Jingles, Ive been very busy. I had a friend scout the show today, he didnt say anything about veileds but there probably are some there but he definitely saw panthers. Im really considering breeding veileds again... And the expo isnt at the dome...

Hi Mr Jingles, I know some people you can get chameleons from, Panthers and Veileds. Veileds you'll pay around R600 per baby and panthers around R2000. There is a big reptile expo coming up this weekend, our SOS show, there will probably be some veileds at good prices there and possibly some...

Hey all. I thought I'd post a few pictures of my baby female Rhino Rat snake. She is around 2 months old. She was eating whole pinkies when I first got her but has gone off of her food and I am having problems getting her to eat again, Im hoping her eating will get better and easier. I will...

Thats great. I hope your flappy does well :) It would actually be very nice to work with captive bred indigenous chameleons. But exotics are easiest at the moment

Could you please tell me who it is that has captively bred these chameleons? I find it hard to believe, there has been a number of people claiming to be selling captive bred flap necks or "carpet chameleon x flap neck chameleon" hatchlings. These people have simply caught the chameleons or...

That is great to hear. What species of chameleon is he? Did you catch him?

I have witnessed them in the wild. I go down to a spot in Hermanus and I've found a hot spot of pumilum there. I've seen 2 or 3 different colour forms of them down there. I kept a small female one time and she died just before giving birth.. I'm trying to find some on permits down here so I...

But also, congrats to you guys that are having success with the bradypodions. They are proving to be challenging. But I can bet my money that South Africa will never allow any exports of any of its animals.

Just a note to you guys about weather experiences. Pumilum are in the south western cape. During Summer the ITCZ is south below the equator line which causes the pressure systems to move respectively so while you guys in the north have your usual winter the bradypodions will be experiencing...
