    B. thieli for sale

    I have a 1.5 WC group up for sale. They are $75 each and the entire group is $400. The male will not be sold separately. This is a proven group, some females are gravid and they are producing eggs. If you are in the upstate NY area then the enclosure can be sold along with them. PM...

    Wine Cellar for brev Eggs

    I and other use this - the temps fluctuate a bit but its fine IMO and I put a digital temp gauge inside it to check highs and lows each week. It has no problem keeping temps in 70's since it has a heating element as well as a cooling one. I set it for 71 (I think) and the hi/low each week is...

    Brev eggs and temp

    I would be way more concerned with the 90F then the lower temp - that may have damaged the embryo. I cant tell you for sure since I have never let eggs get that warm. You need to invest in a deluxe incubator that can sustain proper temps or look into a wine fridge which can do the same. -roo

    [Brev] Is she gravid?

    From my experiences, rarely do they lay infertile eggs. Yes it will eventually mold/collapse ... they also tend to be smaller then a fertile egg and yellow in color. -roo

    Madagascar Chameleons

    I agree, there are many species that do well in captivity and those are what should only be available in the pet trade. I also think that a permit should be required to own one and they shouldn’t be sold in pet stores either. Saving the planet … Lost cause. Not to sound like a sociopath...

    [Brev] Is she gravid?

    She may be gravid ... a top down point of view would make it easier to tell. Females can lay infertile eggs ... pretty sure without mating too. I have only witnessed breeding a couple times and it was during the day. -roo

    terrarium humidity for brevs.

    I try to keep temps around 72-78(F) for brevs with at least a 10 degree drop at night. I don’t like to see the humidity drop below 50 just prior to the next misting. After I mist the humidity read 72-75 on the gauge at the top center of the tank just under the lighting so it probably around 85...

    Rhamphaleon species?

    Check out this article. They arent as tough as brevs ... that's for sure and are more sensitive to warmer temps - anything over 73F is not suggested. -roo http://www.chameleonnews.com/e_africa_stump.html

    Brev eggs!

    I think the egg incubation chamber is much more then you need. As mentioned, room temps are fine … meaning 75-ish with and a drop at night to around 67F. At those temps, if the egg is fertile, it will hatch in roughly 79 days. Temp spikes shouldn’t cause any problems but I would avoid warmer...

    Temporalis Pygmy Chameleon

    They can handle the same temps as brevs but tend to be more ground dwellers and appreciate a more densely planted enclosure. They are not nearly as prolific as brevs – I worked with them for a little over a year and produced about 30 of them. I liked them but decided to focus more on brevs...

    ants

    I have had very small ants in the cage until just recently when I switched out the plant they were living in. I never had any issues with them and they actually did a good job at dismembering dead feeders caught in the crevices of the cage. They never pestered the chams as far as I can tell but...
