Some of my Mitsio breeders...

This awesome Tamatave is simply known as "The Indian"

Thanks man, yes, I will be very busy for the next couple months... in addition to this batch of Nosy Be's, I've got a clutch of Nosy Falys that are almost ready too, probably arriving in a few weeks...

Our first Nosy Be baby from our clutch came out today. 8 months of incubation... his brothers and sisters have yet to emerge, but I expect more soon. Here are a few pics of the little guy, as well as a pic of his dad, Orlov:

Here's a random pic of Banana Man trying to run away from the camera... he is his usual green self (with some touches of red). But sometimes, for no apparent reason, Banana Man turns the strangest shade of neon yellow/green (as in pic 2). This isn't a camera trick, he just turns a really...

Sorry this took me forever to repost, I have been absolutely slammed with work lately and haven't been on the forums much at all... Here are a few pics of my male Nuclear Tom. He has more defined stripes than the rest of my Mitsios. He's a complete a$$ too, a real feisty one, lol... He...

repost tomorrow with more pics.

will repost tomorrow.

I have a fair amount of wild-caught panthers. For the most part, they do well and I don't have a lot of problems with them. When I have had issues, the issues are usually fatal. I lost a female to a fungal infection shortly after she arrived once, but that was the only chameleon I've ever...

I will post pics of my breeding group of Mitsios, but it will probably be tuesday or wednesday before I'll be able to get to it. I have 4.3 Mitsios (3.2 are wild-caught and can be bred into any current bloodlines, 1.1 are from the Kryptonite line). I will have eggs in the incubator soon...

If you skip the fecal exam, then you need to give the chameleon panacur (or equivalent) to be on the safe side. I have skipped fecal exams before, but I always make sure the chameleon is treated for parasites/worms.

Sometimes vets offer a "breeder discount"... I know some of the larger vets (like Banfield) will do it. It helps take a bit off the price. Just tell them you're a reptile breeder and you'd like to know if they offer a discount...

I bought some dubias once... and not a single one of my panthers would eat a single roach (not even my wild-caughts would eat them). I actually gave up and released something like 200 dubias into my jerk neighbor's yard (lol, but true). All of my chameleons seem to like crickets though...

Well done, that's a sweet Mitsio!

"How long does it take a WC to get used to handling/feeding?" In my opinion... never. I own several WC panthers and I give them as much privacy as possible. It's not in their nature to be comfortable interacting with humans, so I let them be and I accept that they will likely be aggressive...

I'd be willing to bet that every decent keeper on the forums has lost at least one chameleon along the way... It sucks, but it's part of the learning curve. I still learn new stuff all the time. All you can really do is try your best, keep an open mind, and pick up as much knowledge as possible :)

Thank you for posting such amazing pictures! It must have been a fantastic trip!
