Indirectly yes. But more likely due to insufficient ventilation/air flow through the enclosure & too high humidity for too long a period. Rather than the substrate itself. Humidity shouldn't be constantly very high, but should drop between sprayings/mistings. Could also be down to poor drainage...

Look great & the tank too. Could possibly be gravid, though they do puff themselves up as well. Look at her at night when she is resting & compare. What's the white object, is it a water bowl? If so, i would remove it asap. Pygmies don't need or usually use standing water. Unless on the...

Would excite me! :D Bloody hate cats. Wish someone would exterminate them all where i live. One animal i can't understand why they are so popular.

Personally i'd use a 45cm cube exo.

Is it wild caught? If so, it's almost impossible to tell accurately. If it is WC, be sure it gets plenty to drink. They can become dehydrated very quickly. I had never known a chameleon could drink so much until i bought a wc jacksoni.

Yes hoehnelli & it looks like the Kenyan locale from the pic. Keeping these myself & also have a male Uganda form as well.

What size & type is the enclosure? If its all mesh you might be better covering the sides & half of the top & leave the section that the lights sit on clear. Will still get plenty of air flow & will help maintain humidity. I tried all mesh enclosure years ago when i kept yemens & panthers. Just...

Looks good to me. I also keep hoehnelli, i have two males. Ones from Kenya the other Uganda. Great little characters & feisty for their size. Try something that flies, like blue bottles or soldier flies (calci worms). If you can get them in the states? Mine can't resist anything that flies.

Hi Toni. Like yourself i'm also in the uk & this was the reason i chose to use wooden enclosures as opposed to all screen types. My reptile room is a converted/insulated garage & i found it really difficult to keep temps & humidity at required levels. During winter months anyway. Also why i have...

I have always used substrates with chameleons & never had a problem. And it wont build up bacteria if its on a decent depth drainage layer with a way to syphon off excess water (i just use a short length of aquarium silicone under the drainage layer). If you set it up bio active & add plenty of...

I have always kept chameleons in fully planted, with drainage layer & bio active substrates. Years ago kept yemens & panthers, now keep montane species. I use exo terras atm, so enclosure size is easily catered for. If using substrate for yemens & panthers, you'll need to find a way to make...

Not something i personally found when i kept em. But perhaps my tank was too small?:( All three look female to me.

Hi. Do you have a drainage layer underneath the substrate & a way of syphoning off excess water?

Nice one Mike... She's a beauty!

Yep, its a male brev & a beautiful looking one too. If you see a true kerstenii they look very different to brevicaudatus.

I wouldn't mind betting he was WC & sick before he was purchased.

Still looking!!

I have a coming up to a year old male Trioceros hoehneli. He was the runt of the litter & actually the last born of eleven. He was at least half the size of the others at birth & when i saw him at approx five months old. Looked tiny compared to the other remaining animals the breeder had left...

Wow!! Nice one Mike, congratulations! Shame it was just the one, but first time bred in captivity... a real achievement. Hope you have more to hatch in the near future. How are your adults doing Mike?
