So seeing Red Island is bringing in some Campani, I was wondering if anyone had any input on them?

Has anyone ever produced F1 from them?
 
I have never known of them being in the US before, but Ask Kent67, motherload chameleon or Trace one of the 3 of them should.
 
I hope to have babys in about a month;)
Got 6 clutches incubating 73 eggs in total.
This is together with my breedingoup of furcifer minor and laterispinis one of my favorits...

Why don"t I just come visit you? I would love to see babies. Wonder if they would let me bring one home in my pocket? No? I thought not.:( But post lots & lots of pictures for us.

I know people kept them before the ban and would not be surprised if any keepers did not breed them. However the CIN never did an article about them if I recall correctly.

I recall people keeping them in Southern California before the ban. However that was a long time ago and they were not kept as often as other Madagascar chameleons. Kent, Trace or Chris would be good to ask more about this species.

Campani - those are the ones that look like watermelons with legs aren't they?!:D Awesome looking chams!

They are tiny chameleons and they somewhat resemble Furcifer lateralis in body color. Except they prefer much cooler temperatures than Furcifer lateralis. You could say they are a montane species that require somewhat similar condition to Furcifer minor.

F. Campani aka Jeweld chameleon= AWSOME!!! I am thinking real hard about this one ;)

Me too. Except I have got to acquire a mate for Rhino first.

Yes can you post pictures of them?

Here you go! They are small this one only just is able to make a meal out of a grasshopper. Its a great picture.

I have heard/read from other keepers in Europe that this is a popular species. I think Mario and a couple other keepers are breeding them.

PICTURES :)???

Have any photos of the adults?

Here's some more:D.

Agreed they are awesome! I really like the unique coloration.

I concur it is awesome to have the opportunity to work with a new Madagascar species after 17 years of being banned. Then to have the opportunity to work with a spectacular species such as Furcifer campani makes having the opportunity to work with them again even more awesome:D!!

Wow banned for 17 years!:eek: you are very lucky. Do you have 1 or 2?

They have been banned for 17 years. I have not got the opportunity to acquire any yet. Luis (TRH) and Red Island are bringing in some specimens.

Big things are happening in the chameleon world. Especially regarding chameleons from Madagascar.
