Wow, LOVE your female!

Thanks. They still have not shed. I am hoping some of their shipping scars will disappear. They are doing great though.

Thank you! She is one of my favorites. Her normal color is a orange but she often displays a canary yellow. It is amazing. I am trying to get a picture but she darkens up when I stick the lens in her cage. One of these days I'll figure out how to get her.

My other female is green. I did not know the females had different colors until I received this one.
I have noticed those spots on the male a couple times. I just looked at him this morning and they are not there. The picture is probably 2 weeks old. I also checked my other male. He does have those spots. I am not sure what they are. They look like rub marks from shipping. They all came in a little rough looking. I have had them for about 7 weeks now. I'll get more pictures as they continue to fatten up.

Thanks. I do really like them. They also seem to do very well in captivity. I have had a total of seven now. I haven't lost one yet. I sold my first trio when I got out of the hobby years ago.
I would like to see any species get popular besides pardalis and calyptratus. Lateralis is coming around.

Already had them tested. Believe it or not, they were parasite free. I'm going to bring a couple more samples to my vet just to be safe.

I remember having a house full of baby deremensis not that long ago. Here are some pictures of mine.

Your deremensis look great, I always love the lipstick. Best of luck with them.

Very cool! Why did you quit working with them?
Also is your enclosure just a plant wrapped with plastic? If so that is exactly how I have mine set up. I have tubs with plants in them connected to a drainage system. Then plastic lines the tub and extends to about a foot from the ceiling. The top is completely open and a slit runs down the front. This setup has worked great for me, especially with wild caught. I can work with my chameleons in the same room and not disturb the other chameleons.

I remember when I was about 14 and we were in Tanzania at a game park on vacation and someone brought one in on a stick - For me it was love at first sight - I had a chameleon back where we were living in Ethiopia at the time - but I had never seen one that size. They are lovely.
