Just received this good looking guy in this morning from Snakes at Sunset's recent Madagascar import. Absolutely amazing chameleon, I'm so thrilled to have him after a long break from the hobby. Gave him a full hour shower on arrival (he drank a LOT), and he's eagerly eating crickets and...

Would love any information on these interesting species. New Madagascar imports due in soon and I am considering them but information is quite scarce.

Well, sad to do it but I'm moving to Southeast Asia for the foreseeable future. I've found great homes for most of my collection but have a few panthers left for sale. 1.1 Ambilobes. Male is about 3, female is about 2.5 years old. Have produced a viable clutch for me which my incubator...

Well, it pains me to do it but it's time to start downsizing the collection a bit. I purchased these two T. werneri from a Tanzania import in April of last year and have babied them ever since. They were quarantined and treated with prazi on arrival and have been some of the most robust and...

Paring down some of my extra enclosures as my garage can only fit so much! First up is a Penn Plax Reptology 'HD' 18x18x36 Screen Cage. These are a nice sturdy aluminum frame cage similar to the repti-breeze but with an acrylic panel in the door for better viewing. Very lightly used...

Had it with my old one. Anyone in the Southeast have recommendations for a good bulk cricket vendor who ships? I go through about 4 boxes a month.

Just a week after my first clutch of T. montiums hatched out (laid March), my female laid another clutch this afternoon! I found her late today still digging but clearly lighter. After digging up all the substrate in her enclosure, I finally managed to find the eggs in the last place I expected...

My first clutch of T. montium made their way out of the egg today, somewhat unexpectedly! While I knew they were due to hatch, the eggs showed no signs of sweating, etc. and I'm fortunate that I happened to check on them today after checking yesterday with no change. Eggs were laid 1/25 from my...

:D Just a few of these guys arrived today from Tanzania. I was fortunate enough to pick up an incredible looking pair. I mean, so healthy looking that it was hard to imagine they could be imports. No sign of dehydration, not just good body weight but actually chunky, not a scar or nick on...

I've seen these beautiful chams around a bit lately and because I like a challenge and especially like chameleons that not many are working with, I've been considering getting a pair. I've got plenty of experience dealing with montane species (currently breeding T. montium and K. boehmei in...

With cage space at a premium, I'm afraid I have to thin the herd and move some of my non-breeders. The Jackson's are Xanths- both have been in my care for a while now. The male was purchased in March 2010 and he was supposedly of Kenyan origin. The female I've had since October 2011 and has not...

Well, I knew it was coming, as she's been digging for the last few days and her egg bumps were clearly visible for the last 2 weeks or so. I came home to find she had laid a total of 12 eggs. 3 were in her laying bin but uncovered and the rest were sort of strewn about the cage. No harm done...

So, still struggling on how to effectively cool chameleon eggs when room temp is higher than the desired incubation temperatures. It's winter here in FL so it's been great for the panther and montium eggs I'm sitting on but as temps rise and I have more panther and K. boehmei eggs on the way I...

Hey all, Picked up a pair of K. boehmei last weekend. Not a species I'm too familiar with but I couldn't resist the chance to get a new montane species to work with and they just looked great. They seem to be settling in to their respective enclosures well (2x 38g reptariums, insulated...

I have a gravid female T. montium and I think she's getting ready. The last time I had a montium lay on me I gave her a good-size egg laying bin but she ended up laying all the eggs under some moss on the bottom of her enclosure. Does anyone have experience with this species or any...

My gravid female panther started digging around sunday. She was given a 14x14" pot with my usual mix of 65/35 topsoil/playsand and dug it all up over the next several days, but no eggs. Thinking she wasn't happy with the laying bin, I set her up in a trash barrel on Tuesday with over 2' of...

I actually got out the camera and took some pics of my collection and my cage setups last week...I've finally got everything and everybody (somewhat) organized. At least until the next batch of babies of course when I'll have to reconfigure yet again :rolleyes: First two shots are of the...

So, having incubated several clutches of eggs more or less successfully over the last few years, I've never been impressed with commercially available incbuators for chameleons. I think the main issue is that they're all designed to heat eggs where many chams require cooling (at least for part...

So...I was lucky enough to get my hands on a 1.2 trio of Draco agamas out of Vietnam- a species I've wanted to work with for years. They are fresh imports and of course need all the care that goes along with that, but does anyone here have actual experience or knowledge of this genus? I've come...

My female africanus (who laid a clutch about a month ago) is starting to spend a lot of time gaping while she basks and occasionally will gasp- it doesn't look like she is having trouble breathing, more like she is trying to expel air and when she does so she compresses her body. I recently had...
