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...

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...

I have an opportunity for a very experienced keeper. I am leaving for Madagascar on February 23rd, but had some chameleons hatch at the worst time. I would usually make these available when they got much bigger, but I have some very small CBB furcifer antimena babies (1.1) and 1 CBB furcifer...

Haven’t posted on all this in a while. 3 more Malagasy species have hatched over the last several months after pairing in captivity. Furcifer major. Hatched at 6.8 months with a 40 day 60 degree diapause. Only ones in the US to my knowledge. Furcifer antimena. Hatched at about 9 months...

Hello, I have CBB carpet chameleons growing right now. Making this thread to gauge interest. They will be ready to go in a month or two. Let me know if you would be interested. Typically I sell them from $250-$350 depending on size and sex. I often (but not always) will cover part of shipping...

Update: Spoken for :) I have an unrelated pair of captive bred and born brookesia stumpffi available. I'm not aware of anyone else offering captive bred pygmy chameleons. They are priced at $650 shipped for the pair. These are perhaps the hardiest brookesia out there. These need all the help...

Some new b. Thieli caught in the act of hatching, and a gravid b. Superciliaris inspecting a possible nesting site. I’ve been experimenting with providing a ball of debris/moss for some brookesia to see if that helps trigger egg laying in an easy to access spot. So far so good! Also included is...

Hello, I have some CBB trioceros ellioti juvenile females available. I feel that females actually make the best pets compared to males due to their often calm and friendly personality. This is a small species. I also have a larger subadult female from a different bloodline that I may part with...

Hello, I am making available one juvenile captive bred and born calumma linotum. This is a very small species that only gets around 3-4.5 inches in total length. I’m not aware of a time when they’ve been made available as captive bred before. Photos of juveniles and parents shown. Ideally this...

For those interested in working with/breeding smaller species, here are some size comparison photos. Not the best photographer but, perhaps this will give a sense of scale. First is a newly hatched veiled, then 1 week old Trioceros Ellioti, 1 week old Calumma Linotum, just hatched furcifer...

Some CBB calumma roaloko (the only ones in the world to my knowledge, enough now for F2s from unrelated pairs) growing well, and a chunky and gravid calumma linotum. These tiny calummas are some of my favorites.

Here are a few pictures of some stunning calumma species. These are overall not super well represented in captivity unfortunately. Hoping that will change in the near future :)

Two of my three unrelated furcifer Antimena pairs have mated and there are palpable eggs developing in both females. Lengthy incubation time but I’m hoping for eggs soon :) A stunning species that tolerates high heat better than any chameleon I have kept. Females seem to only be receptive once...

The first of hopefully many captive bred calumma roaloko has hatched. To my knowledge, this is the first time this species has ever been produced in captivity. This took almost exactly 4 months of incubation, at low 70s during the day, to high 60s at night. No diapause needed.

Thought I'd share something exciting. F1 campani are pairing up, to hopefully make some F2s in the near future. You can see the female change to non-receptive colors during the mating! Tends to happen quickly.

Anyone want to guess which species this is? Laying eggs after pairing, hoping for the best! Poor thing came in missing a hand. Hopefully the other pair will produce some soon too.

This was some fun on Facebook, so I’ll try it here too. Here’s something fun. When swapping enclosures, I took out these three females representing three different calumma species and quickly took a few pictures. Can anyone successfully ID the three species shown here? 🙂 The diversity among...

If you’re in the area, be sure to check out the Atlanta botanical gardens starting November to see a wonderful Pygmy chameleon on display, a captive bred brookesia stumpffi, produced by yours truly 🙂 These are uncommon in captivity as CBB but as awareness of them grows they have a better chance...

Thought I’d share some tiny calumma eggs. First is the third clutch from a lovely calumma linotum, of four eggs. Second is a clutch of two eggs from the very rare and charming calumma roaloko, the smallest true chameleon. These tiny species lay their eggs very shallow, right under the ground at...

Some observations in Brookesia thieli. Found 3 more eggs the other day. Mating but also a threat display from a male in response to a non-receptive female. Look at that red mouth! I’m wondering what the anatomy of it is, as there seem to be some extra lumps and bumps in there that I didn’t expect.
