    Some questions on Carpet chameleon husbandry

    Definitely, very worth discussing and happy to do so, will respond more thoroughly a bit later

    Some thoughts on fog/mist/rain + observations from Madagascar. Fog droplet size and fog dynamics

    Super interesting, I have heard of Olaf but never spoke with him myself. This is also really good info! What other insects were referred to as juicy? Caterpillars definitely make sense to me. I didn't see any caterpillars that weren't covered in some kind of irritating hair/barbs when I was...

    Some thoughts on fog/mist/rain + observations from Madagascar. Fog droplet size and fog dynamics

    Sure, thanks for the kind words :) Yes, I have read the fog drinking article and am familiar with Archaius.eu!

    Some thoughts on fog/mist/rain + observations from Madagascar. Fog droplet size and fog dynamics

    Thanks for your comments Petr :) No, I did not observe what I would call deliberate or targeted drinking, it was more like an incidental swallow and it was only once. An adult male parsonii that was found in a jackfruit tree was brought down while it was raining lightly. During that time, some...

    Centipedes???

    These are not centipedes (carnivorous), but instead are greenhouse millipedes (detritivores/herbivores). More later but I hope that helps a little!

    Some thoughts on fog/mist/rain + observations from Madagascar. Fog droplet size and fog dynamics

    Now for some thoughts about fog, mist, and rain. Just sharing some observations, whether this actually matters and provides a clear path forward to improving chameleon care remains to be seen. Fogging and misting are kind of tense topics that I'm not trying to stir up too bad but I just wanted...

    Whoa! I was in Madagascar so somehow missed this! Hooray!

    Roost site characteristics of sympatric dwarf chameleons (genus Brookesia) from western Madagascar..

    Thanks for the papers, wonderful content and thanks for digging them up! Just what I wanted to find. I couldn't see the facebook post, it's just the brookesia facebook group for me for some reason but not anything specific. But maybe it's one of my posts in that group? Well, I might have seen...

    Roost site characteristics of sympatric dwarf chameleons (genus Brookesia) from western Madagascar..

    Wow, nice find! I wasn't aware of this literature. I'd like to see a similar study done in more commonly kept species like B. thieli, superciliaris, therezieni, but this is super interesting!

    Madagascar chameleon observations (Brookesia, calumma, furcifer)

    Sure did, I photographed all the ones on my list! Although some photos are better/clearer than others :) I'll share some of those soon.

    Madagascar chameleon observations (Brookesia, calumma, furcifer)

    Same, I had heard other brookesia sleep a bit off the ground, but I didn't expect what I found with thieli! Also wasn't expecting so many brookesia on big thick logs and tree trunks.

    Madagascar chameleon observations (Brookesia, calumma, furcifer)

    Thank you! And thanks for the tips on what to expect :) it was helpful knowing others who have gone there before.

    Same here, and consider it granted :)

    Madagascar chameleon observations (Brookesia, calumma, furcifer)

    Here's some pictures of calumma parsonii. Something interesting about them-the ones I saw were mostly on the outskirts of villages/towns where foliage was less dense, often in introduced plants like avocado trees or jackfruit trees. The ambient humidity during the daytime tended to be very high...

    Madagascar chameleon observations (Brookesia, calumma, furcifer)

    Also, some experts agree that these are B. thieli, which I'm inclined to agree with, but these individuals had slightly different features than most B. thieli I have ever seen or worked with. Specifically the supraorbital crest/spikes along the eyes. These were found in Ranomafana, so who knows...

    Madagascar chameleon observations (Brookesia, calumma, furcifer)

    Some more + B. thieli. Note that B. superciliaris and B. therezieni are often found on thick logs as well as the ground.

    Madagascar chameleon observations (Brookesia, calumma, furcifer)

    I found Brookesia superciliaris, therezieni, thieli in Madagascar across a few sites. All 3 species can be found on very thick tree trunks, logs and branches, on thinner branches, as well as on the ground and in the case of thieli, very high up on trees as well. At night, they would all often be...

    Madagascar chameleon observations (Brookesia, calumma, furcifer)

    I recently got back from a 2-week expedition to Madagascar where I primarily looked for chameleons and observed them in their native habitat. I thought I would make this thread to summarize some observations I had during this time, probably over a few separate posts over time. Of course this is...
