OK then Petr, how would you like to proceed then? If you don't see value with this discussion then we don't have to continue. I find some of your statements interesting and worth further questioning and discussion, but I don't find your above replies sufficient to fully address my points...

That’s an excellent point which I really appreciate. Above I was more referencing bees for that moment but totally true. Not enough people give credit to beetles in particular as great pollinators as well!

Yes, I can understand that and I'm sorry for the negative feelings that discourse here has produced in the past. Thank you, that sounds great :) I appreciate your humble and amicable approach in this reply!

If you are interested in further discourse, I will distill some concrete points below and would definitely be interested in your thoughts about them. However, I'm disappointed that this is how you phrase your response, especially as I didn't attack you personally whatsoever (and had/have no...

A lot of great stuff here, and I might respond to it in more detail later. However, I want to push back on the bee pollen thing a bit. I use it sometimes, and it's probably relatively harmless in moderation. But the claim that it's ubiquitous in the wild for chameleons is extremely debatable and...

I think a lot die off each year but not all, probably a bit less extreme than labordi. Each year, they come in as pretty beaten up adults at the beginning of the rainy season, and then as vibrant young adults a couple of months later, which to me indicates that some survive each year through the...

I am writing up a few small studies right now. One of which is assessing the impact of keeping chameleons indoors vs. outdoors. The preliminary conclusion is that keeping outdoors seems to allow for a wider range of outcomes in growth rates, possibly due to more natural dominance behaviors when...

I agree with a lot of what has been said and have thoughts on these articles that I don't feel the need to share at length at this time. I think there is definitely some truth here and I practice a lot of what is described here (BSF adults are great feeders, for instance!). However, I would...

Love to see this, congratulations! What a wonderful little species. Well done!

Wonderful job :) you have a male and a female.

Male calumma malthe in presence of female

Be sure to supplement the mother and offspring with preformed vitamin A when possible, reptivite is an easy way to do so. I do this and I suspect it does help maintain viability.

I am making available some CBB brookesia thieli. They're juveniles (not hatchlings) so are eating pinhead-1/8" crickets and all kinds of fruit flies. I can sell females or a pair. 3 unrelated lines available, probably a fourth one available in a couple of months. I have a full care guide on them...

Unfortunately, this egg is dead. It will not hatch. It is covered in mold and the liquid is basically necrosis. My condolences

I have a pair of calumma boettgeri CBB juveniles/subadults or I could send an adult C. boettgeri and a juvenile female. I don't usually make these available so openly but I have enough right now where I can part with them if a very experienced keeper would like to give them a go. They're a...

******SPOKEN FOR, THANKS! I am making available a pair of perfect CBB F2 brookesia stumpffi. Perhaps the most well-suited brookesia for captivity and highly coveted. I typically make these available to zoos or other organizations first but will sell to a responsible breeder. $650 shipped for...

Not sure how I missed this thread, but well-done getting eggs and hatching them at all although they didn't make it. Probably it was a maternal nutrient issue. I'd guess vitamin A deficiency or offspring not being kept warm enough but I haven't combed through all of this yet. This round be sure...

Lateralis is somewhat unique in that they can breed early, specific timing doesn't really matter much. I had a female lay 13 clutches of eggs and live for several years, the longest-lived and most productive female recorded. Not to say all lateralis need to breed that much, but if the goal is to...

Spoken for a few days ago, thanks everyone :)

Yes :) Male on the left, female on right. Looks like you got some of the ones that came in recently, of the "nyahururu locality" aka yellow heads. Beautiful specimens
