Forgive me is this has been answered in a previous thread, i couldnt find anything in particular with a quick search. My question is, what all is involved in importing a CB group of chameleons from Germany. Specifially what permits need to be obtained on both ends etc. and the cost...

Nick you got it right! If you do decide to get an incubator set it to 74-75 degrees and in 70-90 you will have little ones assuming they are fertile. Just make sure to count your days as you will need TINY feeders redilly avaiable when they hatch! And congratulations!

Pygmys are shy solitary creatures that freighten easily. I don't handle mine at all unless I'm cleaning out the vivs or taking it apart to dig up eggs. They stress very easily and over handling them could be harmful. A few minutes a week will be fine but don't feint when you see the Then...

here are a few more, along with the custom brev baby raiser!

You guys are so demanding :p :) okay so this clutch was a clutch of 6. Here are a bunch of pictures of the little guys! We needed to make room for more baby brevs as we have a bunch more incubating so we came up with a brev baby raiser cage. Let me tell you this thing works great! Size is...

When I get home I will upload all of them. I can only load one pic at a time from my phone :)

Bean beetles and FF will stay in the Viv for a while.

Came home to 6 more beautiful baby brevs yesterday!

If you keep them in the cage, make sure to monitor closely. Once they hatch, if mom and dad are hungry then can mistake for a tasty treat. You will need to make sure you take them our of the enclosure as soon as they hatch.

Shauna, He is absolutely gorgeous! Bonsai is still with you, blessing you with his beautiful son!

There is a shipment of different/rare pygmy species coming in an import in a few weeks. Keep an eye out on the classified section, i know there will be a bunch up for grabs. Im on a waiting list for some Rampholeon acuminatus! I can not wait to start working with these guys!

I have heard of this thrown around from time to time, however ive never read the article. I would love to read it. Could you send me a PM?

Depending on the incubation temperatures and humidity they should hatch in 60-90 days. I would dig them up and put them in vermiculite. You can leave them in the soil if you wish. But I would dig them up to be safe.

General Care is the same for the Temporalis vs Brevicaudatus. Here is the care sheet from the forums https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/pygmy/ I would recommend getting "The Stump Tailed" book. As it is the holy grail for pygmy chameleons. Gestation should be about 30...

I've never heard of it. If it's solid on every side, you need to make sure that it has proper ventilation and air flow is continuos. I'm sure other members on here have seen or used these before. However it's recommended to get screened enclosures for yemens.

If the top is solid then obviously the lights have to go on the inside. I have no experience with lights inside cages. However I would assume you would want to create a barrier (screen or something similar) so your Cham could not go up and get to the light and burn itself. Is you Vivarium...

The top is solid wood? Not screen?

So as an example. If the total length if your double cage is 4', buy a 4' linear light fixture. Ide recommend a double or quad fixture so you can provide UVB and 6500k. Then you simply lay it on the top of the cage. Then provide a basking spot for both of you chams on either side.

You can throw in the inside of paper towel rolls or toilet paper rolls. I use them all the time.

Lights typically get out on the outside of the cage so they simply lay on top. It is not recommended to put lights on the inside of the cage as your chameleon could come in contact with it and burn itself.
