So were up to 44 so far.

Chameleons have to be able to regulate their own heat by moving in and out of a basking area. The basking area can be 32 - 35 C, but there should be a side of the enclosure that only gets to around 24 or 26 C for her to cool down when she needs to. Too much heat will stress her and shorten her...

Sounds like a heat issue to me also. Try listing some of these things off of the lists for people to better help you: https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/

So no one knows? I forgot to post my answer yesterday: Here is a list of 37 that I cam up with, feel free to add to it, I'm interested to know how many there actually are. Thamnophis sirtalis Thamnophis sauritus Regina septemvittata Nerodia sipedon Lichanura trivirgata Nerodia...

So Laurie and her sister were on there way to my house yesterday to see my chams, baby pigmies and dart frogs. So when they showed up I was suprised, little did I know that her sister, Lee, is the person whom I was trying to find with this thread back in...

This is a question that I have asked for many years. I have read about other species of reptiles that can retain sperm but if are bred again will discard the retained and use the fresh sperm. I have a feeling that chameleons also do this due to it being one of the ways that nature ensures...

There actually are no true "live bearing" chameleons. When an animal is ovoviviparous it gives the appearance of live bearing but the female actually incubates the eggs internally instead of depositing them.

Any guesses? Estimates?

Do you guys all know what each other looks like? I would only recognize the people who have pictures up as their avatar or in their profiles. I used to work at Mike's table, some of you guys might recognize me from that. I have a pic in my profile. I'll be there at around 10:00 or 10:30...

Thanks Brad. I spelled it right in Laurie's thread.:o

How many ovoviviparous ("live bearing") species of reptiles are there that are native to the United States? (Must list) We all know one from Laurie's post of her baby Phrynosoma platyrhinos (horny toads).

This brings up a good trivia question. How many ovoviviparous species of reptiles are there that are native to the U.S.? Don't answer in this thread, I don't want to hijack it. I will start a new one called Trivia Question of the day...

If the eggs aren't fertile they normally turn a yellowish or grow mold within the first week or so and not swell at all. If the eggs start to swell and are a pure white, which is what yours are doing, there is a pretty good chance that they will develop and are in fact fertile. Actually they...

Wow! I haven't seen newborn Phrynosoma platyrhinos before. I had one of these when I was a kid that was caught in Oklahoma. Do you know what region that the parents are from? What are you feeding them? I'm pretty sure that they are found throughout the southern U.S. and South America as...

Part of the definition of the word species is "a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring, and separated from other such groups with which interbreeding does not (normally) happen". I have heard one claim from a man in Tampa that a veiled and a panther crossed...

Ok. So are you willing to elaborate on how you get them to stop producing eggs? and I'm not talking about initial laying, i know about that part, I mean once they start, slowing down egg development to twice a year. That sounds pretty amazing, I have yet to have a healthy female that...

It's normal to lose some. Wow, only 4 or 5, that is a good clutch. Some clutches have high rates of losses and others low from what I've experienced, and i don't know yet exactly what causes it. I am keeping more detailed records now then I used to so maybe I will figure it out eventually...

That is interesting, the female of mine that would lay at 45 days also had large clutches. She laid 35 her very first clutch, where I normally see 10 or 15 for the first clutch. I haven't had a clutch into the 50s yet but she was throwing around 45 or more at a time. She lived 4 1/2 years...

Thank you. This is why I started this post, to see what other people are doing. Do you keep records of how many days between clutches? Every female that I have is different.

Are you talking about panther chameleons? I don't breed mine that often either. You don't have to breed them for them to lay eggs. I am actually working on a project to get my females to lay less eggs to get them to live longer. They are my pets, and each have names, and if you are...
