Definitely :) You're free to use anything I have posted before, but I will take some other tail shots and post them here soon

Some CBB calumma roaloko (the only ones in the world to my knowledge, enough now for F2s from unrelated pairs) growing well, and a chunky and gravid calumma linotum. These tiny calummas are some of my favorites.

Definitely :) just wanted to mention it

Thanks so much for sharing Bill. I am so sorry this happened to Emily but so pleased she seems to be recovering! As you know, I have had spider bites in chameleons before as well. I might add that spiders can occur in any setup, and are not limited to bioactive. I'd argue they might be a bit...

Healing process was very easy and fast. The key is to leave the tail as vascularized as possible and cutting right at the boundary of the dead tissue vs. living tissue. It can then be cleaned immediately after. If husbandry is good, the cut doesn't even need further treatment and will usually...

Very odd. However there's more of his tail left than I was expecting. The good news is that as long as it doesn't get infected, he should be fine as far as overall reproductive ability and activity. I have had baby chameleons where I had to amputate almost the entire tail, and they grew up fine...

Can you provide pictures? There is some evidence that they will target their tails and other body parts when shedding, and sometimes it can get out of hand. How much has been damaged? I'd be interested in seeing the region of the tail close up. Does he attempt to swallow it?

Haha yes, the depths of my delusions know no bounds. The nerve of artificial incubation.... Glad I snuck into this contest just in time to avoid the inevitable smear campaign!

I think it's a great point of discussion. It was addressed above a bit, but I guess then the question becomes, what do we want the chameleons to gain by eating vegetables? I would argue that not being able to digest them does not equal them being bad to consume. It's not just about calories...

Two clutches laid, although small numbers. This seems to be normal though. Hopefully more soon. Interestingly, they seemed to prefer laying in tunnels dug under leaf litter. I am going to experiment with incubation and see what I find.

Retained sperm, it seems.

Update-she laid a clutch of 16 eggs last month, outside :) She is also gravid again it seems, and is showing stunning coloration. Here's to more F2s in the near future!

That website is so outdated that I'm surprised they still keep it running. The current stock of chameleons is at least 5 years + old and their prices and availability are totally inaccurate. I've not heard of many good experiences with them when they were still selling things but I can't speak...

I don't think I have any photos with something obvious for a size comparison unfortunately. Perhaps I can do so in the future though :) The males are maybe 2/3 the size of pardalis males, and females are 2/3 the size of pardalis females. With some variation of course. A nice manageable size!

Here are a few pictures of some stunning calumma species. These are overall not super well represented in captivity unfortunately. Hoping that will change in the near future :)

Two of my three unrelated furcifer Antimena pairs have mated and there are palpable eggs developing in both females. Lengthy incubation time but I’m hoping for eggs soon :) A stunning species that tolerates high heat better than any chameleon I have kept. Females seem to only be receptive once...

CBB Female f campani

Haha well sorry to burst your bubble but that is actually my index finger. I guess I have weird fingers and hands. I agree that the little roaloko still amplifies the mood though lol.

Here’s something exciting. A presumed male has hatched and his color scheme is very close to an adult male. So perhaps this species can be sexed right out of the egg!
