Looking for healthy Rh. acuminatus (aka montane pygmy chameleon). Will pay reasonable price, or can offer 0.0.2 CB Uroplatus henkeli in trade depending on what you have. Thanks, Mike

Great post. I have been worried for some time about the abuse of the wild population of brevs. Does anyone out there have any concrete data about the effects of importation on the wild brev population? $15 per WC animal is criminal. It places no value on these creatures, and invites...

Your pygmies will enjoy the cage as is, but I agree with others that smaller twigs reaching higher and some taller leafy plants would enhance the enclosure. I, too, worry about the waterfall. I have seen waterfalls in pygmy enclosure, and the pygmies thrived, but it can be a bacteria...

They are $119 per animal. Animal Lovers Pet Shop isn't giving them away, but this is a much better than average pair.

For any one in Southern California who may be interested in a pair of WC quads, Animal Lovers Pet Shop in Torrance (near Redondo Beach) has a beautiful pair of quads. The female is a full-size adult, and the male is a young adult, not fully grown, but with very nice horns for his size...

CB female T. quadricornis quadricornis, 4 months old. Produced by me, and in perfect condition. She is very feisty and has a great appetite. Her mom produced multiple clutches of healthy offspring, so this juvenile female should make a great pairing with a male for breeding, once she is...

I am slowly assembling a breeding group of R. acuminatus, and am interested in adding new individuals to the group. I especially need an additional male, but am also interested in additional females or pairs. Please PM me if you own one or more acuminatus which you are interested in...

As noted above, nix the basking light. Two Reptisun 5.0 bulbs should be more than sufficient to provide adequate light and heat for your pygmy enclosure. I would advise building up the layers at the bottom of your enclosure as you describe, and make sure that you have a deep layer of top...

CB quads -- 3 month old males, absolutely beautiful--better pictures CB male quads, 3 months old. Beautiful, feisty, with good appetites. Each one accepts small crickets from my fingers without hesitation. Asking $200 each, plus shipping. Prefer local pick up, if you live in Southern...

Great looking jacksons. Nice straight horns.

I agree with the other comments. Nix the 75 watt bulb immediately. As long as the enclosure is well lit with some combination of fluorescent bulbs which includes a 5.0 UV-emitting bulb, that's all you need. I have never seen any of my pygmies bask, and they thrive at ambient temperatures in...

I would second the counsel to get them into separate cages as quickly as possible. I had a pair of deremensis some years back, and the female did not appreciate the presence of the male on a regular basis. In my experience, a happy deremensis is one which is bright green, as opposed to a dark...

I have used a sort of PVC coated mesh to construct chameleon cages in the past, and it worked very well. The one consideration is the size of the holes. If they are large enough for a cricket to fit through, you won't be able to "free range" your food in the cage. But most chameleon...

For medium to large chameleon species, the easiest approach I've discovered is to place a screen cage with horizontal dimensions of 24" x 24" on top of a utility sink from Home Depot, and put a bucket under the drain of the utility sink. A 24"x24" screen cage perfectly matches the top rim of a...

You captured some great images of your brevs. I think that brevs are wonderful animals. A real joy to keep.

A few years ago, I bred Ambilobe panthers, and from the same clutch produced both blue bar and red bar males. In fact, from the same clutch came a male with very little red, when he fired up he was yellow with blue stripes, and a male with no blue on his body at all. When the second fired up...

When I bred panthers a few years back, I was getting blue and red bar Ambilobe males from the same clutches. So predictions of the bar colors of babies are imprecise at best. The colors of your male do look more Ambanja to me, but he is still young and not particularly fired up. So, I...

Nicholas, The acuminatus are doing well. I have 11 eggs on vermiculite. Fingers crossed.

This little girl quad was busy spanning a chasm between a manzanita branch and slender green leaf, when she stopped and just hung in that position for about 10-15 minutes. Maybe the position stretched her tail and lower back in a soothing manner--I don't know--but she rested in that odd...

A few years ago I had six neonates emerge from the soil in a terrarium that had three females in it. All I can say is that the females didn't eat the neonates and surely had opportunity to do so before I removed the neonates. That's no guarantee. Just one anecdote.
