T.Q. gracilior (4000 words below)

I stole this picture from my good friend @bobcochran it is a willsii female. I had a pair of these, they were OLD, very large and, well, wrinkly looking. The female died within weeks, but my point is she was green/yellowish like this one. The male i had for about year and a half, losing him...

I have a whole bunch of Jackson chams Xanths and Jacksonii Jacksonii, like 40 or so (no Merus, but if anyone knows where I can get some PLEASE PLEASE tell me). Yesterday I was able to add some new blood to my program with a recent Kenya import. One of the females is very gravid and has the...

I recently had clutches of eggs from F. Campani and T. Cristatus, so after a couple of weeks I made a check to see if all the eggs were still looking good. I pulled out the two containers and noticed a third, pulled it out, read the date and ID, was confused. I opened it up, saw 12 eggs, 9 were...

I keep them outside in SoCal, so it gets hot, they are shy by nature usually staying in the weeds, today the outside temp is 102 with 40% humidity (high for this area this time of year). In the area I call Little Cameroon it is 82 (hotter than usual or than I like it) with 90% humidity and...

I've had 2.7 T. serratus now for about 3 weeks (again Thank You Steve McNary). They are housed outside in SoCal 24/7. They are housed as 2 pairs and 2 cages of communal females in Large Reptibreezes. I usually spend about 20 minutes per cage every morning looking for them, only to get a...

I got 3.3 Cristatus from Chameleons International. I took out the first male and was blown away, he looked like he had been copper plated, put him in his enclosure and went on to the next one. This one was even more stunning, looked just like the photos you see of them as exemplars. The third...

I recently had a clutch of 12 F. Campani eggs, in researching I read that a diapause is employed in some species and Campani are usually mentioned, but that is all that is said. Does anyone know if the diapause is obligatory or depends on environmental conditions? Or when do I lower the...

I have very little experience with egg-laying chameleons, I did recently have a clutch of 34 YBBB panthers (33 hatched and doing great). I've been trying to breed Campani now for about a year and a half, unsuccessfully, until today. I found my female Campani, searching around the bottom of...

I had a pair of WC Ellioti, but lost the male. The gravid female gave me a clutch of 7, so I have males, but related to sisters and mother so no breeding possible. I would like to trade for a male Ellioti, either WC, CB or CBB, I prefer WC, I'm open to trading males, trading a female (or 2)...

I have never raised egg-laying species of chameleon before, so I had some questions, as usual I got some good advice here and on July !8, I posted this picture: Today I found these : I actually found 5, but the other two are hiding. Most of the rest of the eggs are sweating, so the waiting...

This is Big Mama Thornton, a Kenyan import Xantholophus from last March On arrival she weighed 158 grams and was 13 !/2 inches long This morning I saw one of these... ...It turned into this. . This is one corner of a sunning cage that I moved them into to take the pictures, since in a...

I have heard of some T. J. Jacksonii females having a distinct red coloration, but never really seen it, until this:

I have been meaning to ask if anyone has had any babies from the Kenyan Xanth import from last March, but haven't gotten around to it. I saw this in one of my cages this morning I have seen 6, there may be more in the lower area, but if not I am elated with 6. If this import is anything...

The form Your Chameleon - T. Jacksoni Jacksoni Imported (farm raised) 1 year(?) Handling - Close to never Feeding - 2 week old 1/4 inch crickets, houseflies, small roaches (different types red runners, green banana etc. ), small horn/silk/super worms, bees, mels, hydei, a mix of about 20-25...

I noticed this spot this morning while feeding her. I tried to wash it off, but not happening. The smaller spot on the crest wraps around slightly to the other side She is about 1 year old and housed communally with 3 sibling sisters in a heavily planted 2X2X4 foot enclosure, kept outdoors...

I bought these two about a year ago as little babies from a woman who spoke no English (Vietnamese). Her daughter, about 5 interpreted for me, I was told they were 3 months old, siblings and they were "the super red ones". I now know they were only about 1 month old and they are obviously not...

A common "Did you know" fact on home page of this forum is: "The chameleons tongue accelerates towards its target at over 1642m per second. Chameleons rarely miss their intended food item." The rarely miss part I accept, but since I have never heard a sonic boom when my chams tongue-slap a...

THE STORY I like live bearers, I have great luck with them, but I wanted to diversify the species I'm working with and decided to pair up a Kammer Ambilobe with a Canvas Creations male pair. I didn't want a particularly large clutch so I only left him in the cage about 24 hours (enough time...
