It's called a reptibreeze because it's a breeze for crickets to escape. I've had crickets and even full-grown dubia roaches escape my reptibreezes before.

Sometimes the calcium dust that we use to powder the crickets can come off when dumping in the crickets. This creates a thin layer of dust over time that crickets can climb on and eventually get out. You could try rinsing out the feeder run and see if that helps. Crickets usually don't jump...

If you have dragon ledges in your dragonstrand enclosure, you can secure the normal PVC feeder runs to the ledges by drilling a hole through the feeder run and then using thick jewelry wire to run through the hole and around the ledge. I got mine from full-throttle feeders. You will need a drill...

I will say that it might be difficult to get pictures of the babies without a human hand since they are just so tiny and my camera will just focus on anything else but them haha

Feel free to take pictures from this thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/more-baby-pygmy-chameleons.193055/#post-1806437 Any pics I post here are free to use by you and the forums

Update on the babies: I found a 5th baby a few hours after posting the original post. They are all doing well and becoming nice and plump!

Thank you! I absolutely agree with you! Despite looking like a tiny brown leaf, they sure are beautiful! Beauty isn't always linked to having color the brightest rainbow colors - though it sure does help :) I pick them up incredibly gently 😅 I feel like the way I just pick them up and grab them...

Hi everyone, it's that time of the year when I log on to the forums and post some pygmy content! Long story short, I hatched out 4 pygmy chameleons this past week! Some more pics: Here are the temporary grow-out enclosures. Last year, I hatched out two pygmies (Brookesia superciliaris)...

I found you a parson's in Europe, I bet I can find you a female boehmei ;)

Happy hatchday to Ranjo! He's such a perfect little man 🥳 Kinyongia is such a cool genus! I really hope more people work with boehmei, such an underrated cham. Nice work, Mark! This is every bit a celebration of how you care for your animals. Without you, they would have probably been sold off...

It's been a long time since I last posted an update. The move went well, but it turned out to be a 15-hour drive from California to Washington. And since I've been up here, I've had to move 2 additional times 😤 The first landlord wanted to sell his property after 3 months into the lease. He...

I haven't had a problem with escapee crickets. If you're super careful, the chances of escapees are reduced. I just get a big bin for them so they can't jump or climb out. Then when I go to collect them and put them in little deli cup with a lid, I do everything over the large bin. Even if a...

Most pygmy chameleons are wild-caught, so likely there isn't an issue with inbreeding at the moment. I'm sure this will change if Madagascar ever closes like Australia did and no fresh blood comes in.

Are you feeding them crickets? They seem to really enjoy those. I've had some success feeding them little kenyan roaches (adults stay really small). But primarily for the last year and a half, I've primarily been feeding crickets. My oldest pygmy is a male Brookesia superciliaris that is pushing...

Amazing info, Michael! It's amazing how you found thieli so far up in the trees. I always thought ebenaui was the only one that would climb that high.

Here’s a Brookesia superciliaris that I hatched out last year. Since you shared some pics, I’ll share some too :)

It looks like a 1.1 group of Brookesia stumpffi to me. The larger one is male, and the smaller one is female. You can tell which one the male is based on the thickness of the tail base—he's packing hemipenes for sure! In the Brookesia genus, females tend to get a fair bit larger than males, or...

@Motherlode Chameleon you think this might happen to pfefferi as well? I’d love to get my hands on pfefferi one day. I think they are the coolest species in Cameroon
