Deremensis Trio

[jpowell86]

I decided that since my new montane room is ready for occupants, some deremensis would be great residents. I acquired this trio and they have been doing fantastic over the last week. Really eating and drinking well. Just thought I would share some pictures of the new additions.

Joel, have you seen Deremensis babies, blue with black markings, so cool!
Nice trio!

Beautiful! Congrats on the new addition! Would love to see your room too!

Nice trio!

Oh yes! They have some of the most attractive babies of all the chameleon species in my opinion.

Thanks.

I will definitely share some photos when the room is up and ready. The pictures above were all taken in my office. I had to finagle some things around putting some enclosures out in my greenhouse until the room is ready. I actually have two rooms that could be used. I can't decide actually. I have one that is my old chameleon room...well one of them. The other was my old office that is basically empty. It is basically a glorified storage room as you can see. I'm thinking the room that is the cayenne color. Just because it has more room and I could fit more enclosures.....God forbid.

Thanks Dave!

I am trying to get all of my chameleon areas in complete order. It is quite the task to move all of my enclosures and rearrange.....but fun! I will get some more and better photos once all of my mess is in order!

Trioceros deremensis is a great species nice choice! I have had some great past Trioceros deremensis specimens. They were always great additions to my greenhouse. Joel are you keeping the three together as a trio or are you keeping them separate as singles?

Thanks Jeremy! They were kept together prior to be part of my collection. But, I have separated them. I haven't seen their interactions personally with one another and I did not feel comfortable housing them as a trio.

Did you cohabitate your specimens?

I only kept mine as singles alone in enclosures. The only exception was when I introduced the males and females for mating or when I was free ranging my Trioceros deremensis outside for nature UV ray's and water.

What size enclosures did you use for your deremensis? Also, did you have a particular time of the year when you would introduce the male to the females?

I loved my deremensis! My first male was a surly little man who would sit on my hand quietly for a while (no spots), then suddenly fly into a rage and bite me. I love how light sensitive their skin is...when one happened to sit partly obscured by a leaf or branch and then move, there would be a shadow from the leaf in their skin for a few moments afterward. Their color chnange was almost constant and very subtle.

Most of the large pre-made screen or glass enclosures would work out okay for breeding purposes. My female died early, however I showed her to the male the entire warm season for breeding behavior.

I recommend listening to the Trioceros deremensis pod cast done be Bill Strand and Luis Wiedemann.

Very interesting podcast. Did you find similar results with the species? I wouldn't imaging keeping them in such warm conditions would be preferable, but the proof is in the pudding I suppose. I found the parts regarding egg laying to be extremely interesting. I think the idea of using the knees of cypress trees to create a stump like replication for laying was particularly interesting and brilliant actually.

 

[Livingstons Lizards]

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone have any examples of the breeding/ egg laying "tunnels" or "burrows" for female Deremensis.
