Please, simply describe the type of cham you have and your light setup, and cage style. Some of my animals... adult T. quadricornus, T. cristatus -sm-md exo terras -single 5.0 Repti-suns, compacts large adult T. jacksoni, T. quadricornus -md exo terras -single 5.0 Repti-suns...

I have seen this book around before, although I wonder how applicable such broad information would be to chameleons. I assume that reptile parasites are not species specific and much of the information would be of use. However, a study specific to chameleons would make for a very interesting...

Just out of curiosity, is this animal wild caught? How long have you had him, and have you observed any noticable symptoms? Let us know how he does. Thanks

Just looking for the best sum of information on what we know regarding internal parasites and chameleons. Is there any source or even a specific thread that you can think of that has best collected the general dynamics of this topic? Some examples of what I'm looking for include, but are not...

All very great points. I like finally seeing some straight info piece together [in my mind]. I sold my snake collection off the last few years and chams are my next planned project. I think I am going to go with linear flour for my cham room. I planned to be at 10 producing panther females...

Well thanks a lot for the input guys. Some quick simple fixes that will help me in the future. I have hope for this animal, as I imagine that he was taxed by stress, dehydration, and breeding him too soon after I brought him in. I did not anticipate such issues. He was looking pretty good when I...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - BB Ambilobe, adult male, approx 14 months. Had the animal for about two weeks. Handling - Almost never, except when moving him to females. Feeding - General commercial cricket gutload, food offered daily or every other day. Animal is only taking...

Where is Chris Anderson when you need him..

I might add that I am somewhat restricted on bulb wattage due to the nature of glass vivariums, and the limitations of the Exo Terra Brand fixtures (which I hear do not handle heating bulbs well). As per reading with a temp gun, the animals body temp hover right around 88 F. It looks like I may...

Perhaps I have overlooked some information somewhere, but I am having a hard time deciding on what is an appropriate basking temp for some of the montane/submontane taxa (Trioceros, Kinyongia, etc). I have been running 40 watt tube incandescents (Sun Glo Bulbs) in 12x12x18, 18x18x24, and...

Great starting point for me guys! I will certainly look for a copy of that book and review all the links provided thus far!! Thank you muchly!

I would like to reiterate that I would like to see both personal input and published keys/descriptions. As if one were curating a wet collection, pinning accurate (or the best possible) ID's with academic standards.. . . . if that makes sense!

First and foremost, can anyone recommend a source for [the most accurate as possible] species identification of this genus? I see people confidently labeling animals such as T. hoehnelii, T. jacksoni, T. j. xan... etc.. and cannot find much dissucussion on what diagnostic characters are...

Perhaps this was already covered, but what you are you doing for heat Chris? I am beginning to jump into montanes again and am having a tough time deciding what light setup to use. Especially since the 12x12x18 exo terra light hoods only house a single bulb. On my larger exos, I have a...

While we're on the subject, what is the appropriate hot spot temp for montane taxa? And just to clarify, compact flourescents are NOT good for chams in general?

That is just what I mean. Not sure what is all on the market now, recently got into montane taxa as a side pet project. I am making my cham shed larger and plan to have three adult levels, and a hatchling rack. I am also propagating a couple different species of plants. At any rate, I need to...

Wow, this is interesting. I first thought of the birth related complications too and see at least some possibility to this. Keep us posted. I can't wait to get my Dwarfs and Pygmies going, once my cham shed is done!

Oh, Tiki of course...duh..

Glad to see there are some people planning to go to this. We, at Jeremy Stone Reptiles have been debating on vending or not. The vendor list is pretty minimal for what we feel would merit attendance. Anyone there going to have chams? Damn....why did Tyler have to get out of chams?!

Wonderful, are these captive imports or in situ? If captives, how did you come across them?
