Hello everyone, a friend of mine, my husband and I did some more work about soil temperatures, this time in the east of Madagascar. It was recently published in CHAMAELEO (magazine of the working group chameleons of the German society for Herpetology and Herpetoculture) and deals with nearly a...

Just finished translating another article I've written together with my husband. Might be interesting for chameleon friends, especially for panther chameleon keepers. It's about the life cycle, the different habitats and colors of panther chameleons around the island. The article was originally...

I recently wrote a rather detailed article on keeping and breeding Parson's chameleons together with my husband and another breeder friend. There is also a section about the habitat in Madagascar. The original article was published in the German Society for Herpetology and Herpetoculture's own...

It took quite a long time, but I finally found time to start our expedition blog (or "vlog", I didn't know this word existed) for our last Madagascar trip. There is a video for every day - sometimes I filmed more, sometimes less. But overall you can get a good impression of Madagascar and a...

Hi there, I was recently asked what ages Furcifer oustaleti can reach in captivity. In fact, I found very little safe information about it. In reports from keepers and few scientific publications, the animals reach surprisingly short age ranges (however, most reports are either old or deal...

Hello everyone, together with my husband and a good friend I just published an article about soil temperatures in the Chamäleo (magazine of the working group chameleons in Germany). It deals with ~ 1400 measurements of soil temperatures in Ankarafantsika national park in the west of Madagascar...

Here's a page with incubation data for various Malagasy species that have been published so far in smaller magazines such as Chameleo, CiN, Elaphe, or others. I had some time to browse through chameleon literature and thought this list might be helpful for others, too. So I put it on the website...

I would like to share the following paper with you, on which the first author David Prötzel has been working for years now. It was published in February 2020 and it's really, really worth a read. Untangling the trees: Revision of the Calumma nasutum complex (Squamata: Chamaeleonidae) Authors...

Hi everybody, I have been using the Egg Monitor Buddy Mk2 by Avitronics for a long time to measure the pulse rate in eggs, most recently on two Calumma parsonii parsonii clutches. I've only found two, three breeders who have experience with it or have used the Egg Monitor before. It's a UK...

Finally, after several months of work, the UV-B-indexes I measured all around Madagascar are online at www.madcham.com . The less nice thing is, the website's still only available in German - but even google translator can help for sure. You can use the "search" function top right to look for a...

Hi everybody, I finally managed to set up my last Madagascar travelogue from this year in english, so I wanted to share it with you. Originally I wanted to post the pictures here inside the forums, but that's way too much for one thread. Or two ort three... ;) I visited Madagascar's west coast...

I'm looking for CiN issue 42. Would be great even to get a copy or scan of some pages, I don't need the whole original journal ;).

I've always read over here people saying orange urate means a chameleon is dehydrated. So I just wanted to clear up that myth... it's no sign of dehydration. You can't compare chameleons to humans, whose pee becomes darker when drinking less. Even completely healthy and well hydrated chameleons...

Just want to share some pictures of my latest setaroi offspring... They're 10 weeks now and doing great. Fortunately, I had no losses and the seven dwarfs eat and climb around very active. I really enjoy watching them grow up. Got to separate the males from the females next weeks. These are...

You got such lots of pretty living chameleon pictures, so I decided to start a thread with pretty dead ones I've prepared and collected the last half year (and yes, I've got living chameleons, too ;)). Enjoy ...and maybe you'll learn about their anatomy. Trioceros quadricornis quadricornis...
