Found this baby in Isiolo, Kenya, but unsure how to differentiate flapnecked and graceful chameleons in general, let alone when it comes to babies. Any help much appreciated!

Hello! I'm looking for some photographs to show the colouration female Jackson's adopt when accepting or rejecting males, or when gravid. Do please share if you have any! I'm a zoology student and doing some background research for my dissertation. Any anecdotal evidence describing the...

Hi all, I hope this is the right part of the forum to post my question in. I've tried to do some research online on reproduction in wild Jackson's, but am mostly turning up results for the husbandry of captive chams. Does anyone know whether wild Jackson's have a particular breeding period, or...

I have recently found two slow worms, and for now the male and female are in the same enclosure. I was wondering whether, if/when the female has any babies, there would be any risk that her mate could harm them? Should I move him into a different cage? Also, being unsure with exactly how many...

Not for enclosures. I'm searching for chameleons in the wild, and, to save me time, I'm wondering if there are any plants they're unlikely to visit? I'm only here for a few more days and I'm hoping to find a bearded pygmy! Thank you (:

Hello (: I was wondering whether anyone can tell me if female Jackson's (j.j., not j.x., although it may not make any difference) chameleons can have blue throats? I thought it was only males but the other day I came across a cham which I would definitely have said was a female except that...

I was wondering if anyone could provide me with an explanation for why, out of over 20 von Hohnel's chameleons I've seen during the last month, only one has been female? I've heard of the sex of crocodile eggs being affected by the temperature, but I don't know if that occurs with chameleons...

Another high-casqued I'm not sure about! I thought female, but because of the colours I'm not so sure. Photos attached.

It suddenly occured to me to wonder how breeders ship their chameleons... (Just to clarify, I'm not wanting to ship one myself.) How do you package them? I suppose you can only send them if the destination isn't more than 24 hours away? Has anyone here ever had chameleon get injured / die from...

I think this young high-casqued (von Hohnel's / helmeted) chameleon is a male, but I'm not sure. I found it (wild) a few days ago, and took a few photos...unfortunately I didn't take any shots of the base of its tail, but perhaps somebody could give me an opinion just from its head? I have some...

You know those spikes along a chameleon's back? I was wondering if they stayed in the same position from birth until death? Or can they change when the chameleon moults etc?

Can anyone tell me which species of chameleon this is, and whether it's a male or female? Found near Mombasa, in Kenya. Its colours vary from pale green to green with black spots, black rosettes, a few speckles of pink or white and, when angry, a white throat lined with...

If two male Jackson's were fighting, could they seriously hurt each other? Or would one run off before any damage was done? Just curious :p

I found this (wild - I'm in Kenya currently) Jackson's chameleon in a garden about a week ago. He's now living on the creepers climbing on the outside of our veranda. Anyway, the left corner of his mouth is slightly swollen. Does anyone know what it is? Is it infectious to other chameleons?

Is this male or female high-casqued, and around what age? Also, how do you tell if it's a male or female, and how do you tell their age? Thanks :)

How do you sex a Jackson's (Jacksonii, not Mt. Meru or Xantholophus) chameleon? I want a way which doesn't rely on the horns because there can be a fair bit of variety there! Colouration, build and base of tail?

I'm hoping to breed some chameleons soon - probably t.j. jacksonii - and I was wondering several things. Would the gravid female need extra feeding? Would it be better to handle her less? How long is the gestation? How many offspring could she have? Would a gravid female be a different...

I was wondering how to tell the difference between young male and female Jackson's (jacksonii) chameleons? And do they have any difference - colour and horn-wise - at birth?

Does anyone know the Elliot's chameleon's distribution in the wild? - Especially if they're in Kenya? I tried googling but no results.

I was just wondering what causes bent horns? (Jackson's, in this case.)
