Certain species of pygmy, as with some of the larger chameleon species, are easier to keep than others. For example, if your new to chameleons & wanted to keep pygmies. You'd have a much better chance of success keeping brevicaudatus, especially if you could obtain some CB animals. Definitely...
Thought i'd post a pic of my recently acquired male multi. I discovered him totally by accident, in a not local pet shop. He had been in the shop for a couple of months, taken in as an unwanted pet. He has been looked after very well as far as i can tell. Only info the shop had, was that he was...
Can't really compare the crossing of dogs to chameleons, but sort of know where your coming from. :)
But actually, getting a little off subject. Having had pedigree dogs & crosses all my childhood up to my late teens. Dogs are the one cross, that i do prefer. The mongrel dogs i had were way...
For me personally, the beauty & attractiveness is in the fact that the locale is pure in the first place, as much as the look of the animal itself. Just something about the word "cross", that i find unattractive. At the end of the day, each to their own, but just not for me.
Agreed!!! And in the case of pardalis, the answer is simply the latter. I personally am against the cross breeding even of different locales, let alone species/sub sp. Something much more beautiful about a pure specimen in my eyes.
Fantastic achievement mate. Nice strong healthy animals, that must have good healthy genes. Obvious just from looking at the adults... The male is (to nick one of your words :)). Awesome!!
How much longer before you have to rehouse them all again?
I personally don't like & never use bamboo, or any other twig/branch that has a slippery surface & from watching chameleons struggling to grip them, i'm not alone.
It's very common for male panthers to accept being handled. Not so much the females though, in my experience they prefer to be left alone.
The only negative side to this, is once they get used to coming out. They don't want to go back in :D
Same here in the uk, panthers everywhere:(. Except for true Nosey Be's it seems... too many pratts crossing them over here:mad:. No doubt trying to make something super colourful & different & to then try & charge silly money for it.
I had a male Nosey be that also liked grapes. Also eat spinach leaves & watercress too.
I used to peel the grapes, though not sure if it made a difference.
I have a male Triceros hoehnelli that was the last to be born & the runt of the litter. He was half the size of the others that were born. He has a really bad appetite & i guess he'll always be a lot smaller than the maximum size he could achieve.
