I'm selling the adult female Calumma parsonii cristifer that laid 39 eggs for me. She's alert, strong, and has a great appetite. You can purchase her on the following link using the drop-down menu: http://www.backwaterreptiles.com/chameleons/parsons-chameleon-for-sale.html [/url]image url...

About ten days ago I had a banner week for C. brevicorne eggs, 85 in total, spanning three different clutches. One of the clutches had 36 eggs, which was amazing to me based upon my experience with them. I've had three other clutches (in 2015) that ranged from 17-23 eggs. As luck would have it...

My gravid female C. p. cristifer just laid 39 beautiful eggs this morning. I've been monitoring her remotely in the evenings with a video app on my iPhone, so it was interesting to observe/learn from her behavior, both pre and post laying. She preferred more water in the soil. I'm not an expert...

I purchased a few Madagascar chams recently and received two gravid Calumm parsonii cristofer available for $1,500 each. Guaranteed gravid (can feel eggs), in great shape. If interested, please e-mail me as [email protected] with the subject line "Parsonii" or send me a PM...

I checked on the Yellow-lip eggs about 20 minutes ago and saw a baby at the front-end of one of the bins. I looked over at my wife who was sitting in my office and as soon as our eyes met she asked, "Did they hatch?!" It seemed unreal--so many unknowns, operating on blind faith. So much tedious...

It's been a while since I've posted, so I thought I'd provide a quick update on the 63 Yellow-lip Parson's eggs that were laid on April 23rd, 2015. I received my cooling/warming incubator a couple weeks later on May 12th, 2015, so they were room temp until then. At that point, I began following...

You may or may not recall that I bred my best breeder male Ambilobe Panther to my female Oustalet's who had never been bred before (or since, just in case this worked). She laid eggs shortly thereafter. They are both still doing very well--she is actually the most aggressive eater of all my...

This morning I noticed three baby chams inside one of the egg boxes--I pulled the box out, and saw that it was one of our Calumma brevicornis clutches. It was exciting, but the more I look at them, I wonder if I've somehow misidentified the eggs (not sure how that could happen). The reason...

I've got three female malthe--I've had them for several months, doing great. Also a female johnstoni that I've had for months (with a partial tail), she laid a successful clutch for us, but no males left so we're selling her. All reasonable offers entertained.

The matschiei eggs I collected on June 6th of last year have started hatching today, so an incubation period of just under 12 months. These were eggs that I was not sure were healthy, due to the "cracked mirror" look they developed several months into incubation--sort of like they had...

One of my female brevicornis laid a good-sized clutch of 32 eggs today. This is the largest clutch I've received from a brev, although it was the result of captive breeding so that is most certainly why. I bred a pair in early February, and she laid around six weeks later I believe, but her...

I was feeding the chams today and I noticed one of my female brevs was a really vibrant yellow--they sure do change colors a lot, and I'm still learning what they mean (gravid, receptive, stressed, etc). I'm trying to map it out. But, she's beautiful.

Well the eggs that were laid on February 8th of this year started hatching today (five hatched of six, and the sixth has probably hatched by now). Sure seems like a quick incubation--three months. They seem big, healthy, and strong.

My quadricornis eggs began hatching yesterday--they were laid by a gravid import I received this past December with that Cameroon shipment. The babies are acting strong, although I found the size differences to be stark... Check out these two--hatched on the same day, same clutch, huge size...

Three different species were hatching today, Veileds, and the two species pictured below: The Flapnecks... ...and the Montiums...

Here are a couple pictures showing some Pfefferi that hatched here today (around eight or so last count). They were laid just a few months ago--a fairly quick hatch. The one thing that made this clutch out-of-the-ordinary is that I extracted all the eggs from an undoubtedly doomed female...

I've become quite fond of Calumma brevicornis over the past few months, for a litany of reasons, and have decided I'm going to continue to attempt to breed this species. I now have 3.4 at our facility. I received eggs from a captive breeding about a month ago, but today I received more eggs...

You may recall a pair of beautiful freshly-imported Yellow-lips I received about two months ago--I posted pictures of them, wondering if the female was gravid. I sold the male quickly, and long story short, the sale of the female never materialized. She really looked gravid to me, so after a...

I have ten juvenile Meller's that came in, most in great condition. It's nice getting smaller ones for a change... Here's a Fischer's that had really long horns...

I had a few more C. brevicornis arrive recently, and I was looking at two of the females side-by-side today, and thought, "They sure don't look alike." Then it clicked--I believe it's another C. crypticum female. I could be wrong, but I do think it's crypticum. The other crypticum female I...
