Fascinating. Interestingly, based on the published pictures, Brookesia micra looks more like a 'standard' chameleon than all of the other Brookesia species I have seen.
I will let you know if I see any available. Please do the same for me. I only keep very small chameleon species, and I am really enjoy these. I would love to acquire an additional pair.
He is CH from a WC female in my collection. She laid five eggs, but didn't bury them or place them under moss. Instead, she scattered them around her cage. Unfortunately, by the time I found them, four of the eggs were desiccated and only one was viable. My sole baby superciliaris came from...
Here are two new pics of my 4 week old B. superciliaris. He seems to be doing well. Half the time I can't find him in his cage, but small droppings are scattered around the cage floor.
I haven't owned cristatus, but there are several persons on this forum who do and can provide details about their care. In the meantime, I can say that they like cool temperatures, high humidity and lots of water. They are among the most humidity loving of chameleons. I have heard some owners...
Probably 14 or 15 years ago now, I owned a very large female Parsons. I have no accurate data on her length or weight. But I can describe the strength of her grip.
I had to be careful not to giggle her at all when I held her, because, if she felt unstable, she would strengthen her grip on...
I have 2.1. I had two pairs, but one female died after she was in my care for about 6 months. I think that she was simply at the end of her life. In another month or so, I will introduce the remaining female to the males and hopefully she will be receptive.
I hope to acquire additional...
Here's a picture of a just-hatched B. superciliaris. It is a CH'ed animal from my only viable egg.
My WC female superciliaris scattered eggs around her cage without digging a nest. Unfortunately, when I discovered them, all were dessicated except this one. It incubated alone on...
Both the patches on his legs and on his sides look like burns to me. In my experience, burns which have not destroyed skin tissue cause it to blanch in color.
Often chameleons will go about their daily business, even though they have significant burns. So his normal behavior does not mean...
Two CB male U. henkeli. Brothers hatched on May 25 and 26, now about 7 inches long. Excellent health. Beautiful geckos. Aggressive eaters.
One is a nice example of a standard color pattern for a male henkeli, with lots of contrast. The other has a more mottled color pattern and unusual orange...
I agree in general with Eisentrauti's perspective, but I find it hard to believe that there are 4-40 million parsonii in the wild.
The range of between 4 and 40 million sounds suspicious. For a long-lived animal which reaches sexual maturity slowly, I would be ecstatic if there are a few...
Way back in the day -- early or mid-1990s -- I had 1.2 parsons. My male was introduced a couple times to other males and would not tolerate their presence. My females were sometimes free range, but kept their distance from each other. Whenever my females got close to each other, there was...
Two CB U. henkeli males, brothers hatched on May 25 and 26. Now about 7 inches long. Beautiful healthy henkeli. Both are active, aggressive eaters.
One is a nice example of standard color pattern for a male henkeli with lots of contrast. The other has a more mottled color pattern than...
