Thank you for the note, Luis. They are, indeed, stunning creatures-- as you know first hand. We'll be in touch soon. Cheers, Fabián

It's not a dumb request at all. In fact, it's a great request. It would be even better if people actually took the time to write the scientific names correctly. It's amazing to see people who keep even parsonii and continue to misspell both the common names and scientific names-- as if there...

Their eyes remind me of those of elephants-- they're so expressive. Glad to know yours are doing well. Fabián

As Benny already mentioned, these were imported into the United States as wild-caught specimens directly from Tanzania. One humble word of caution-- if you have not kept merumontanus, or other small, ovoviviparous chameleons before, I would not recommend these to start. T. jacksonii...

Great photos, Martin! You should share your monthly photos with all of us :) Peter, thanks for the kind note (and everyone else). They are a beautiful species, indeed. Cheers, Fabián

They're becoming more and more shy as they grow. I rarely enter the chameleon room, except for necessities, so they get plenty of privacy. The 50mm lens appears to be the biggest catalyst, with its scary lens hood. It must look like a big predator's eye! Their defensive behavior is truly...

Glad you like them-- I can't get enough of them. Thanks, Fabián

Great photos, and gorgeous animals, Jared. They look even better than the first day already, especially the little one. Your dedication to Kinyongia is admirable-- giving up some Bradypodion for your true love. If more of us focused as much as you do, this hobby would see a lot more success...

You're right, M001 was one of the biggest in the clutch, but his horns were only a bit smaller compared to this one. It seems as though they're beginning to grow at a much faster rate now. I have only one more male left apart from this one, and his horns as more the size of what you describe for...

A few more photos from today: He's noticed the camera... And the iconic defensive posture of deremensis begins... Cheers, Fabián

I haven't had a chance to photograph any of these guys for a while, so I took one of the males outside for a photo shoot-- as you can see, he cooperated... Enjoy, Fabián

Gorgeous! Great work... Fabian

No, not necessarily. With as shallow a depth-of-field as as you were shooting with, you'd have to choose whether to focus on the rosette or the eyes, and to me, the eyes are more important in this shot. Larger apertures (smaller F-stop numbers) produce a shallower depth-of-field, though it's...

Thanks for posting the additional photos, jeffro. I doubt this will end speculation on this taxon as almost nothing is known about it, except that it as as close to jacksonii as a tiger is to a lion. This was discussed a couple of months ago here: "You asked for him!!" Cheers...

Beautiful! We imported several atra last year and had the fortune to "find" a few babies in the enclosure one day. It's amazing how big they are when born! Definitely one of the rarest caudates in captivity in the U.S. What do you do to keep them cool enough? Fabián

Here's a screen grab for those unable to access it:

I was finally able to access it. You're right, Jann. It's one of those "Rhino werneri", which will most likely end up as their own species eventually. Gorgeous animals. Fabián

Thanks, Brad. No luck. The site must not be iPhone compatible. I'll try from a desktop later. Cheers, Fabián

Interesting. Apparently I'm the only one who can't access the site.... Hmmm. F

The link is broken, Benny. Fabián
