the best "incubation" i experienced myself was in a planter hanging from my ceiling part of a wall cage! 9 months later i woke to a female veiled running like a monster across her wall exclosure attempting to eat what nearly gave me a heart attack! babies poured from the soil like water...
i wasnt saying it was necessarily that. there are a few that are just wonderful. usually majorities of them are pains in the neck that find a great place in your heart :)
show pics of the setup. it may be a stress related issue. if the cag is to small for the individual they often times want to come out to get away from their cubical.
thanks everyone! thanks pshh you do bring up some good points. and as far as those ambanjas are concerened, WOW! your male pocus is astonishing! are any of those going to be made available? the male pocus looks almost ambato or ankify, i imagine he may have been collected somewhere inbetween...
can users please post photos of their baby panther chameleons, locales, and their ages? im doing a study to better help understand average sizes of baby panthers at different ages. please post 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, and so on if you can. if their age is more on the verge of say 3 1/2 months...
husbandry tortures genetics, suppliments, diet, lighting, etc. like i said unless we can give them exactlly what they have in madagascar, and let the genetically weak offspring die off like in nature( as panthers do at a larger rate of speed than veileds ;) than we will never know.
genetically it does make sence! and based into genetics comes diet. if both parent of a human child pig out on crap they are opening their genetics to change(if 2 people eat so much and become diabetic(type2) their children are more likely to become diabetic than if their parents had not). just...
hopefully this will help without me getting my face bitten off. panther chameleons are a genetically sensitive species in the first place. even if a same locale to lcale breeding occurs, every generation, the genes decline and degrade extenssively. wc's and f1's are the way to go for breeding...
hopefully someone more EDUCATED will chime in. though i have kept them, and they seem very easy going animals, i still dont believe that saying they are low maintenance is a good direction. however, for a chameleon they do seem to be one of the better species ive kept successfully and GORGEOUS...
please post photos of it here. this should have been done before any attempts at solving any issue especially when it didnt look like dry skin. they can survive fine without portions of their tails.
