I have 3 pair right now. So I will keep some of the babies and expand!
Actually, this species needs ANY captive-bred in The States. Same thing happens every time they import them. A few people hatch some clutches laid from imported females, they sell the babies or they die, and then they go...
Great job Bob! What are the bloodlines with this pairing?
Sorry to hear about your female Janet. Hopefully if there is any silver lining, her eggs will hatch and carry on her genes. I think the females have the best personalities more often than not when compared to males in this species. Of...
I don't check the forum as much as I used to, but I'm happy to see everyone already beat me to the correct answers. Your lateralis look beauitful RB! You can see that the female is already exhibiting her stress pattern, even if she is not being aggressive towards the male. Separate housing is...
Hopefully not Janet, but I haven't seen anyone posting babies other than you. I wonder if people are just remaining quiet, or if others just have not had success getting eggs/hatching yet.
Janet, ask Frank Payne. I'd just Facebook him. He just bought a beautiful looking one at the White Plains Reptile Show last month when we were there. Maybe he can give you more information on where it's from.
I have never had a single time where male competition sparked breeding interest. It's nice to see it has worked for Eric and others, but never once has it made even a slight difference for me. I would also never cohabitate quads like I will do with other species. Even in a large enclosure, more...
This isn't surprising at all. That's also a very common response in my experience breeding quads. I'm always more surprised when a male quad does breed rather than the opposite. Most chameleons aren't like calyptratus and pardalis where they pretty much do everything for you. Ralph, did you ask...
Hmm, it looks like a male to me. I have to admit I've made mistakes sexing some of my babies before with quads. I haven't had any females with that much scalloping though :)

This little boy hatched at Christmas
Here is one of his sisters :)
Here are is a brother from a previous clutch last summer before he went to a new home
Something to add that I think helped with this last baby was downsizing its environment dramatically. I placed it in an 8" Exo Terra cube terrarium, and kept it very basic. It had a paper towel bottom and only enough silk plants to keep it within an inch of the ground level and always close to...
Everything Nick said above is true. I only hatched 3 total so far, and it was the 3rd individual that I have now. The other two did not survive beyond a few weeks. I have had a WC dig and lay eggs in a nest though. This did not happen with my CB female, who dropped the eggs. The babies can eat...
I'm very happy Nick chimed in. He is correct, and I'm not aware of anyone else at the moment with a single captive-bred specimen in the US. Maybe there is, but I have not seen it. I hatched the girl below in April of last year. I'm hoping for her first clutch to hatch this May-June, but they are...
