A superb female Trioceros oweni !

Nothing beats the sun. The natural light spectrum is more complete than bulbs. Effectively they are the infrared but also and mostly the UVa who stimulate mood, the reproduction and...the appetite ! The UVa help to the psychological well-being. I think they are also more curious outside because...

No justly, read the article: "The high population density of F. pardalis in the Sambava region and the wide distribution along the whole north-eastern coast, without any obvious biogeographic barriers to gene flow among populations makes it highly unlikely that inbreeding induced this deformity."

It would be interesting to do a graph about the growing of the Namaquas !

It stings the eyes ! Very nice cham, he will make beautiful babies

Why female should have a lower basking spot ? It isn' t logical, it should even be inversed because they have an higher corporal temp when they are gravid. The average corporal temperature prefered for gravid F.pardalis is about 30°C. I don't know for veiled but it must be higher so if you have...

Just one thing. It seems to me, if I'm not mistaken, that the vit D present in plants, the D2 can't be used by reptiles, it's only the D3 synthesized with UVB. So is that the vitamin D in bee larvae and maybe in bee itself can bee used by reptiles because this vitamin probably come from the...

Personally, I am choosing to feed my insects with weeds because that is what they eat in the wild, and they are very good ! look: http://dragonsdasgard.actifforum.com/t34286-plantes-sauvages-comestibles-pour-lezards-et-tortues I don't know if you, on the other side of the Atlantic, you have...

Some plants countain preformed vitamin A, so if insects, for example grasshopper eat these plants...

Good questions ! I don't know if bees imagos are rich in vit A and D. But I know that the pollen is rich in these vitamins and in beta-carotene. To be exact, bees don't eat directly the pollen collected. It's first stored in cells and nectar, bacteria and enzymes are added. And after a lactic...

In the wild, I'm pretty sure that they eat a lot of hymenoptera, including bees. Honey bees and solitary bees. There is the Apis mellifera unicolor to Madagascar. Moreover, bees are a good food. The bee itself and I think that wild chameleons benefit of the virtues of hive products by eating...

At my place, my chams are only hanging on fence when the basking spot is too cold. Yes obviously, babies must to be keep colder but for adults veileds, you can have 40-45°C at the basking spot and a warm zone at about 30-35°C, in mid 27-30°C and after down to 22-25°C in the colder zone at the...

Yes, 95-104° F. But it is important that the heat point is very located, only in a small section of a branch. Like this, they can have a good thermal gradient and they can regulate well them body temperature. When they reached their average temperature preference, they remove the hot spot...

Someone know the specie of the black beetle who they eat in the wild ? We should breed them now :D

Whaou, it's just so great ! Congratulation ! At what temperature do you keep the juveniles ?

Splentid !:eek:

In Europe, we can found them rather easily. Bad for you, it's a beautiful locality. These chams are bigger than others, they can easily growth to a total length of 50 cm. And from what I heard, they like an high humidity, live longer (6-8 years) and are rather calm

Whaaa, I just discovered this post....incredible ! I see that you come from Belgium, do you speak french ? (I'm french...:D ) If you want, I'd love to know how do you keep your namaquensis, malthe and brevicornis, especially the temperatures. Thank you very much !

I've learned that you english and french keep our chameleons differently, and a lot of small thing in the part "Field observation" and "Science and Conservation" Nice forum:)
