Welcome to the Forums. Due some research before getting anything. Pygmys are not very colorful, and not the easiest for a beginner.There are some smaller species that do not require very large enclosures. Also, be carefull of pet store chameleons. Many are not well cared for. You would be better...

eggs About 400 cooking now. All Panthers, (Ambilobe, Nosy Be and Ambanja) The oldest laid in June and the most recent just last week. :)

Thanks. I will stock up on the little feeders for sure, and keep them good and hydrated. Thanks again.

Thanks. I've never hatched a Panther in less than 8 months, but I'd be real surprised if this clutch will take that long, based on the way they look already. Thanks again.

Incubation times Thanks for the Fruit Fly info.

Hi, I have a clutch of Ambilobe eggs that were laid by a wild caught female on 6/22. They spent the first 6 weeks at about 78 degrees and the second 6 weeks at 68 degrees. since then they are at 77 degrees. So, they have now been incubating for a total of 123 days. They are so big and "pink"...

Just make sure he is drinking, so he does not become dehydrated. Good luck.

weevils Thanks. I used so many so fast, that I hope I have enough to keep the culture going now that I bought new beans. They seem to not be easy to come by (the weevíls not the beans) LOL. - I love the little crunch when they eat them!

Hi all, Anyone ever feed Bean Weevils to their baby chameleons? I bought a culture at a reptile show recently. My baby Panthers can not get enough of them. They eat all of the weevils first before the fruit flies and crickets. Not sure how nutritious they are though. Thanks.

All baby chameleons are amazing, BUT, those Mellers are the best!! Congrats!!

Congrats! Would love to see pictures!!

Brilliant minds think alike!! I just ordered two from Jim and will have them on Wednesday. Now I just have to be patient to let them grow up.

Thanks. That is exactly what I am going to do. I will just have the fecal check done to see where we are. Jim at the Chameleon Company has a male breeder "Hyperion" that is amazing with red background and purple barring. This guy "Belphegor" (finally named him) looks similiar

They are usually less than that. But, I've seen people mention that they have paid that much. Depends on the vet.

Thanks. I jumped at the chance to get him. I am looking forward to getting him vet checked and acclimated. Those pictures do not do him any justice. The purple barring is amazing!

Thanks. He is a fresh import, so I have to have him checked, and I'm sure I will have to deal with some medications, but he will be worth it. I jumped at the chance to get him when he was offered to me. The pictures do not even show his purple barring well at all.

Vet costs vary greatly. Once you have a relationship with a vet, if everything seems ok, you can just get a fecal exam done, and then take it from there with what course of treatment is needed. Fecals are not usualy more than $50.00.

Importers still bring in shipments from Madagascar, and other locations all the time.

I usually stay away from new imports, but this guy was so special, I figure it is worth the trouble (and cost) of getting him checked, medicated and adjusted. That picture is not even with him fired up.

new addition Thank you.
