Hey Tom,
As also said on your own forum: Well done! It's always good when rear species are really bread!
And very well she is laying eggs again. Why do you wait one day before you dig them out?
Steven
it's hard to give an advice without pictures.
And I first should know the species to advice something.
But the difference between dracomontanum and pumilum is very easy to see.
If you have pictures we can help you.
But in SA for sure I would go for keeping them outside maybe with some...
@fluxlizard my temperatures always differ. But in summer it is between 13 and 18 degrees at nght. In winter it is between 10 and 17 degrees at night. During the day it differs between 18 and 30 degrees.
@Luis, I don't have experience with Transvaalense yet so it is hard to say for me. But my...
@Benny, I don't think each smaller baby is a bad baby. And not all grow every fast. I don't even think all faster growing animals are the best ones.
@luis: I can't really agree. I keep my bradypodions mainly inside for more then 8 years. But fresh air and sunlight is ofcourse very good for...
Hi Eric,
Very good to see you managed to breed them. In contrary to Benny I think it is very good possible to raise those baby's.
I use terra's which aren't to big 20x40x40 or 25x40x60 and put about 5 - 8 animals in 1 terra when they are youngh. Further I give them mainly fruitflies and if...
It's a while ago I've been here.
Very nice to read you've been able to expand the group of transvaalense. I hope you all will be more succesfull this time and manage to stabilize the captive group for the future.
These are indeed beautiful bradypodion. I hope I will be able as well in the...
There are many chameleon species which change colors to adapt to their enviroment.
Actually the color of many species refers to the habitat they live in. So it is not specifically that thet change collors to their enviroment but due to evolution they have obtained those colors which make them...
They are not common available. There is only one person breeding them for the last year. And occasionaly some WC/Farm animals come in. You will be able to find giganteus more easy, but they are more expensive. And cataphractus is very rare and hard to find.
I love all those species and...
Thanks guys!
@cain, thanks they are indeed very beautiful it's a shame the WC animals are so hardish and offspring is very very rare. I should have gotten more but this was the only surviver of somebody who had 50+ babies. I hope to get a male next spring. Same as ellioti I love those...
@nosy be:
Some of the species I breed:
Br. damaranum
Br. thamnobates mooi rivier and nothinghham road

I know have my first eggs of acumintatus.
And start breeding with lateralis and melleri. The lateralis are slowly getting the right size...

I must agree with Benny on the fruit outside. That is the very best way of collecting decent food.
Please keep in mind that those chameleons are made for the SA climate. When you keep them inside glass cages then this can cause problems. I would recomend screen cages and best inside the...
