Fun in the sun with some baby klemmeri

[sgvreptiles]

Nice sunny day here in so cal, so thought Id take the babys out to catch some UVs and take some photos of them. If you like chameleons, and how active they are. You will love these little guys. And they dont eat 100 crickets aweek

Thanks

Very nice! What is the going rate of these guys these days? A quick rundown on how you keep them would be appreciated also. I've admired phelsuma(and chams actually) from a distance but never had it in me to take the plunge-they seem quite difficult compared to reptiles I am currently keeping.

I think most people are selling there babys for 50-75 each. Pairs 200$+. These guys are VERY easy to keep, as long as you have a secure cage. They are small and can fit thought gaps as small as 1/8in. So no gaps allowed. Planted glass vivarium with bamboo and pathos or sanservias for a simple effective phelsuma set up. Pretty much all phelsumas can be set up this way. Fruit puree,crickets,roaches,worms are a good diet for them. They need a basking spot anywere from 85-100 and they are happy. They are very productive and some have even raised juviniles with the adults.

Here are some other cousians of theres.

Do you provide UVB to your indoor phelsuma? Also-with our climate-is outdoor caging possible?

 

[sgvreptiles]

I do not provide UVB bulbs, its not 100% nessecary but wont hurt. And yes, they can be kept outdoors.
