Beautiful Lacerta, Benny! I kept Timon pater & Timon lepidus and they are by far the most interesting group of lizards apart from chameleons and varanids. I can't imagine seeing them in the wild!
Keep the photos coming!
Cheers,

Interesting case. I will only say this:
These mutations are not uncommon, and they certainly can, and do, happen in the wild, but like the majority of these sudden and drastic mutations, they rarely get passed on and may actually signal the presence of environmental problems (in amphibians) or...
Hi. Trioceros is the genus (officially still a subgenus) belonging to more than 36 species of chameleons found throughout mainland Africa. Brad's Trioceros comment refers to his recent posts including others species of Trioceros in his collection. This one is Trioceros cristatus.
Cheers...
Very nice photos, Jared. The male multituberculata looks fantastic! He's definitely grown since you've had him-- fresh shed!
Those tavetana are stunning, too. Great work!

Thank you for the correction. You're right, he was only elected once by the people-- they didn't learn the first time! :eek:
Again, you're arriving to conclusions based on completely invalid premises.
1. If the cause for the extinction of many animals and plants is habitat destruction...
Let us explore one argument at a time, as there are clearly more than one (diluted) points being discussed here.
The original post deals with the current political and economic troubles of the island nation, which has prompted conservationists to cease work as a result of unrest and overall...
Wow, Brad. He looks so good! They are such a beautiful species, and so hardy (relatively speaking), wouldn't you agree?
I'm glad you guys accepted him-- there are very few captive-hatched deremensis in the entire world, and to see them do so well makes it all worth it.
Keep up the good...
That looks (to me) like a subcutaneous parasite, which is not uncommon in wild-caught chameleons. I imagine the parasite exited the body post-mortem.

Suzanne,
Thanks for posting the updates-- somehow I missed them until now. Do you have any photos of the "cleft-lip" neonates?
Water may certainly be an issue here, but I suspect it has more to with other metabolic implications, including diet, supplementation, D3 synthesis (which, as you...
What other herps do you keep?!!
The deremensis are looking better and better each day, Kent. They look great! Janet looks fantastic, too. Is she gaining weight? Do you think copulation was successful?
All the best,
Fabián
Hello,
I have 2, captive-born and raised (not bred), female, yellow-crested Jackson's chameleons (Trioceros jacksonii xantholophus) for sale. They are approximately 4 months old and are very well established-- feeding on 1/2"-3/4" crickets, house and blue-bottle flies (with utter excitement)...
