Calumma gastrotaenia and related species

Would love any information on these interesting species. New Madagascar imports due in soon and I am considering them but information is quite scarce.

Really?? Who is bringing them in?

The IUCN has them listed as a species that is not exported from Madagascar. I didn't know this had changed. When are they due to arrive?

Wow!! I can't believe the prices on some of those animals. I might place some orders myself!

Yes, quite reasonable and the quality of the recent Madagascar exports has been quite good as a whole. In case anyone is interested I did find this scientific paper with some details on habitat preference of C. gastrotaenia subspecies (at the time, now considered valid species):

Those are some really good prices considering some of the rarity of these chameleons. God I hope to get my hands on a couple wild caught nosy mitsio when I start breeding and hopefully a few good captive bred if I can find them. The mitsio locale seems to be scarce in captive breeding

Yea quite reasonable but it's a shame it's come so late in the year specially when the holidays are approaching.

Calumma gastrotaenia is a new 2014 CITES quota species. They have a quota of 500 specimens per year. Along with Calumma guillaumeti and Calumma marojezense that are similar species to Calumma gastrotaenia. They have similar yearly quotas of 500 and 300 each.
