    Soil temperatures in western Madagascar

    Hi, Yes, we have measured in other places in Madagascar, too. There is currently an unpublished article on ground temperatures in eastern Madagascar, more precisely Andasibe and the surrounding area, i.e. the eastern highlands. As it will be published in a very small club magazine, the data is...

    Article about panther chameleons in Madagascar

    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...

    New article on keeping and breeding Calumma parsonii parsonii

    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...

    Catalog of the Family Chamaeleonidae…

    Agree, unfortunately, no accurate information, at least as much as I can say for the Malagasy species. Calumma boettgeri has a picture of Calumma linotum... and many distribution data are simply wrong. For example, Calumma oshaughnessyi has "northern Madagascar" as distribution, but it occurs...

    Madagascar Expedition Vlog

    I was actually also impressed by the video quality. It's "only" a DJI Pocket, a really small camera! Being an inexperienced video camera user, I, unfortunately, produced a lot of very blurry Brookesia videos. Later it worked a bit better, but small chameleons are a challenge with this camera...

    Madagascar Expedition Vlog

    No, that's an expedition we did last year only with a few friends due to the harsh conditions in some forests in the north. The usually visited forests in the central east are much more comfortable to visit. ;) We're actually in Madagascar several times a year but never managed to make videos...

    Madagascar Expedition Vlog

    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...

    Thanks for your answer, Jeremy!

    Longevity in Furcifer oustaleti

    Ah, thank you! Never seen that section over here. That seemed to have been a typical scenario at this time. I know lots of keepers who had them just a few years, primarily wild caught and no one knew where they exactly came from (their habitat in Madagascar differs remarkably from e.g. the east...

    Longevity in Furcifer oustaleti

    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...

    Soil temperatures in western Madagascar

    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...

    Incubation data for Malagasy species

    Thanks for this link! It's actually the method with constant 28°C that was suggested in 1992 by Schmidt for F. oustaleti. Very interesting that this is still one of the used incubation methods. I wonder why no one has experimented much with night drops in this species since then. But given the...

    Incubation data for Malagasy species

    I've uploaded the list just a few days ago, so not a lot of possibilities to stumble upon yet. ;)

    Incubation data for Malagasy species

    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...

    Chameleon skeletons

    The pictures in the first posting of the thread or all? Those on the first page may have been deleted since they were not uploaded to the forum directly. All others should be visible.

    Chameleon skeletons

    Dug out the old thread to show recent work. A Brookesia thieli. It is very difficult to completely separate the skin scales from the mini bones on this tiny specimen.

    (PDF) Prolonged incubation time in Calumma parsonii parsonii (Cuvier, 1824) and revealing circumstantial evidence for sperm retention.

    Hi, the third one's here, too (just not that often as an active member), that's me. ;) Wow that's really sad. Honestly, we didn't expect one of the three eggs to hatch anymore. But there was a small glimpse of hope after using the Egg Monitor, so we continued incubation.

    Anyone using an Egg Monitor ?

    Not that I know of.

    Anyone using an Egg Monitor ?

    I have so far only tried it with LED light and only on about 20 eggs. With these, I have not noticed any change in the pulse rate, but the number of samples seems to me to be clearly too small to draw any conclusions. I've read that paper, too. :) For reptiles, no study of a limited number of...
