It's been a long time since I last posted an update. The move went well, but it turned out to be a 15-hour drive from California to Washington. And since I've been up here, I've had to move 2 additional times 😤 The first landlord wanted to sell his property after 3 months into the lease. He...

I haven't had a problem with escapee crickets. If you're super careful, the chances of escapees are reduced. I just get a big bin for them so they can't jump or climb out. Then when I go to collect them and put them in little deli cup with a lid, I do everything over the large bin. Even if a...

Most pygmy chameleons are wild-caught, so likely there isn't an issue with inbreeding at the moment. I'm sure this will change if Madagascar ever closes like Australia did and no fresh blood comes in.

Are you feeding them crickets? They seem to really enjoy those. I've had some success feeding them little kenyan roaches (adults stay really small). But primarily for the last year and a half, I've primarily been feeding crickets. My oldest pygmy is a male Brookesia superciliaris that is pushing...

Amazing info, Michael! It's amazing how you found thieli so far up in the trees. I always thought ebenaui was the only one that would climb that high.

Here’s a Brookesia superciliaris that I hatched out last year. Since you shared some pics, I’ll share some too :)

It looks like a 1.1 group of Brookesia stumpffi to me. The larger one is male, and the smaller one is female. You can tell which one the male is based on the thickness of the tail base—he's packing hemipenes for sure! In the Brookesia genus, females tend to get a fair bit larger than males, or...

@Motherlode Chameleon you think this might happen to pfefferi as well? I’d love to get my hands on pfefferi one day. I think they are the coolest species in Cameroon

Sometimes an animal with no quota will pop up into the hobby by mistake. This has already happened with labordi. If I recall correctly, someone in Europe had a pair and got them to live for two or three years by treating them for parasites and giving them conditions that were much more suitable...

That mural is incredible!! I knew the mural was going to be spectacular, but this far exceeded my expectations. Absolutely beautiful! 🤩

They always look like they're wearing batman helmets. I love them haha

Interesting. I know there's a lot of sketchy stuff happening in Europe but I swear Europe started getting some legal imports.

Here are some pygmy pics. This peer pressure finally got me to crack 😂 A couple of pics are nice. The rest are meh. My camera isn’t what it used to be

Hasn't Cameroon been open this entire time for exports? Or did they shut down briefly? I remember talking with someone about a potential Cameroon export, but the minimum purchase price of animals was 10k. I'm pretty sure you could always get Trioceros cristatus, Rhampholeon spectrum, and...

Do you have any recent pics of the animal in question? Are the cheeks sunken in? You mentioned a breeder. So I assume the animals are CB and not WC? When I've had a pygmy not doing well, like mentioned above, I would get a small black deli cup and place maybe five crickets in it. Then I would...

Michael Nash is pretty active on Facebook. You can try reaching him there

I agree about regular member participation, but you have all spoiled me. I don't worry too much when I'm offline for a long period of time because I know you all are on here helping out every day. It's kind of unfair to the rest of you haha. I'll be on more - I'll make the time. Pie sounds like...

I'll work on it haha. I'll find some pics in my camera roll soon :)
