    id the cham please

    The Latin name is Trioceros jacksonii jacksonii. I don't know what you guys mean with Mt K jacksonii jacksonii, maybe just a common name? However, I found that Mount Kenya Three-horned Chameleon is the common name for T. jacksonii xantholophus...

    id the cham please

    This is jacksonii jacksonii. Sometimes people also may call it T. j. willegensis, but I don't think that's a valid name.

    Breeding..???

    Woodlice maybe? I've never tried it, but I'm thinking of setting something up soon. A friend of mine told me they are extremely rich in calcium.

    Outdoor enclosure complete!

    That's a very good example of how to decorate a chameleon cage :) I'm sure your panther will love it!

    What languages do you speak?

    Fluent in Dutch and English, basic Spanish and German and un petit peux de French. :) I learned Spanish from a website while I was doing an internship in Central America. It's www.livemocha.com and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in learning a language. They provide free courses and...

    moss????

    But by not using anything on the bottom, keeping the humidity at a suitable level is a lot harder, so does it really make your life easier? I would say no, unless you live in a humid environment. I use moss in a couple of my terraria (those that I keep pygmy chameleons in). It looks very...

    help swollen foot.

    Go to a vet. I had a deremensis male with a similar looking foot. My vet made a small incision and it turned out to be an infection. I had to keep the wound open for about 10 days and treat it with an antiseptic medicine. Difficult treatment, but his foot healed very well. Good luck!

    female laying eggs

    You could try different holes, but I guess it depends on the size of the laying bin. I would also leave enough room for her to dig her own hole if she prefers that. As for size, I'd dig one that would more or less fit my hand in. Smartest thing to do is definetely create different options for...

    female laying eggs

    Try to dig a hole in the soil for her. Deremensis is known for laying eggs inside holes dug by other animals in the wild.

    what species is this exactly?

    That's a Trioceros deremensis female. I would go back to the store and make sure you get the right papers with it. The males have three horns like jacksons, but jacksons lack occipital lobes and the high dorsal crest. Deremensis also has a lot more smooth scalation than jacksonii. This species...

    Senegal Subspecies?

    Chamaeleo laevigatus used to be viewed as a subspecies of Ch. senegalensis. Maybe that's what you read about?

    i want to see your freerange

    This is my old (2006) free range setup for oustaleti and pardalis. Both photo's were taken around the same time. The only difference is that I replaced the banana tree with a palm tree in the second photo. I would do it a bit different if I had to set up something similar now, but the...

    Kinyongia Boehmei

    She doesn't look gravid to me, but you could try to feel if there are any eggs inside her. Otherwise, she might make it clear when you'd introduce her to a male. But since you bought her on 12 February, I think it should have been more obvious if she were gravid (unless she fertilized 'herself'...

    Do chameleons swim?

    A friend of mine had a pardalis that often used to cross his pond when he was free roaming in his back yard.

    Which one?

    I would invest in a decent incubator. If you'd incubate one clutch of calyptratus eggs and eventually sell the young, you'd have earned it back already. My incubator has a temperature range of 6C - ± 60C (not sure why it goes up that high). I believe it is similar to this one...

    Gut Load Idea / Question

    Make sure your crickets contain a 2:1 calcium-phosphorus ratio when feeding them to your chameleons. A disbalance can cause decalcification of the skeleton (in the long term). I recently experienced that with one of my chams and it can be a really tough job to correct a mistake like that. A...
