I got home from work tonight and dug out my 2nd Kinyongia multituberculata clutch. 8 more to go with the 6 from 2 1/2 months ago. There were 7 in the 1st clutch, but unfortunatly I lost one for reasons unknown.

Forum member Ferdy Timmerman posted a thread recently and mentioned about how his Kinyongia chameleons would hold their prey items with one hand as they chewed them up. Several people commented that they have seen various Kinyongia chameleons display this behavior as well as myself. On...

I have bred crickets for years and years. I've tried several different watering methods. I've used everything from DIY water dispensers made from 20oz. drink bottles to paper towels in a dish soaked with water, each with varying degrees of effectiveness. When I first saw the water crystals...

Me and my son took a lovely stroll down the 'ole creek a couple of days ago looking for some of these adorable little creatures. Found three. We also found a whole puddle of emerging Hyla cinera treefrogs. Vicious,.. He HATES Mondays,... The Money Shot- It tastes like...

On 8/22 my female Usambara laid her first fertile clutch of 7 eggs. I'm using a real low tech approach to incubation, but so far I'm having an easy time keeping some good temperatures. So far I'm averaging about 67 at about 5:30-6:00am, 71 mid-day and about 69 in the pm when I start to cool...

I had 103 eggs hatch out this weekend, and I had more than the usual that were deep purple. I have had plenty of others in the past hatch out purple, but they always went normal within a few days. Granted they were always somewhat lighter or pale in comparison to the rest. I never hung on to...

Check out the colors ofn this female xantholophus. Isn't she odd looking? She has had this color since she was about 4-5 months old. Look at the contrast between the other female in the last 2 photos. Big difference. She is very beautiful. I love the reds she displays, and some days she is...

Didn't know which forum this should go under. My son has wanted to take a chameleon for his show-n-tell at school for months. I told him to ask his teacher, and if it was O.K., I would bring one for him to show his class. We had 28 Veileds hatch out about 2 weeks ago, so we took them and...

Here is a new picture of one of my male J. xantholophus. These guys were born on 12/16/2010. I've been photographing them against this grey background once a month or so to document their growth rates. 24 hours old,... 11 weeks old,... 22 weeks old- current

Me and my crew went on our annual herping trip this past week, this year in the Apalachicola National Forest. Here are a few of the reptiles I found on this trip. We also saw lots of alligators, otters and a couple of Black bears as well. There were several other species of reptiles we found...

I got these awesome little girls about a month ago from Seeco, and I must say, I'm very pleased. These have got to be one of the most entertaining chameleons to watch. Seeco has some great animals and has answered every question I've been able to throw at him without hesitation. I look...

Here are some 'then/now' pictures of my baby xantholophus. They are about 10-11 weeks old now, born 12/16/2010. These are the first baby Jacksons I've raised, and I'm marveling at how quickly they are putting on size. 12/17/2010 3/2/2011

It's finally warming up here in the deep south, and tonight I went around outside my house with my headlamp and racked up on some Hemidactylus turcicus geckos. I moved into this house in 2007 and let loose about 8-9 large adults, and now I can go out and catch them in numbers like this. This...

I think I will have my hands full in about 3 months, don't you think?

I have a question for anyone out there experienced with breeding T. j. xantholophus. I have a female that was given to me by a forum member, and she unexpectedly gave birth. The babies are doing fine and mom is fine. I have heard that they can potentially give birth to multiple clutches from...

Does anyone 'notice' anything strange about this guy?

A fellow forum member gave me a healthy batch of Praying Mantis today and my baby Jacksons love 'em!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkTYae9RMFQ

Here is my old beast that would have landed me in either jail or a tomb, yes, that's my hand behind him as I tempt DEATH! Me playing with a Timber Rattlesnake I caught on a drunken night at the local snake hunting spot

So has anyone ever successfully hatched eggs removed from a dead chameleon? I know I saw a thread the other day started by Pssh about some 'harvested' Pygmy eggs. I had a female that didn't make it a few days ago. I had thought about euthanising her, but I was keeping a constant vigil on her...

This is a difficult thread. I'm long winded, so bare with me. I had a young Veiled female that has been a nightmare ever since we got her. I don't know what her age was when we got her, but we had her for 10 months. She started to show signs of being gravid around August of this year. I've...
