Starting off at New Smyrna Beach with a friend who is teaching down there. Should have my own place in a few weeks but Im looking to scope FL out and see where my type of place would be and of course near the best job I can find. Im not much for the beach. You will probably find me in the trailor park out in the boonies eventually. I am from WV you know
I will be there next weekend!!
Glad to hear you'll be closer but I have to warn you that the Daytona area is probably the worst part of Florida.
Glad you enjoyed the talk. That talk sure was a packed house, huh? :roll eyes:
As promised, here are a couple pics of the babies out of the egg:

I don't remember if I gave an update on the fact that all the eggs have now hatched. Of the 10 fertile eggs in this clutch (1 egg was infertile), all have now hatched. One individual had a birth defect and was put down, but the other 9 babies all look good and are growing nicely. Here's a pic of one of the baby males from today:

They sure are pissy little tyrants aren't they. So cute and so rotten, I learned my lesson not to pick one of thre guys up.

Glad you guys are enjoying the pics. They definitely are pretty little chameleons and definitely an under appreciated species. They are quite slow growers though, especially compared to the T. perreti babies I also have at the moment.
At this point I haven't tried to count out how many I have of each sex. I have all nine in a 12x12x18" Exo Terra glass terrarium and keeping track of which I have and haven't counted in a cage that size is difficult.

wow they look gr8

Glad you all enjoy the pics. I'll try to get more this weekend to post as well.
I use one of the ThinkGeek Mini Fridge-Warmers. ThinkGeek doesn't sell them anymore but a number of reptile places have started selling their own based on most of the same components. Some people have had issue with them fluctuating in temp more than their liking but I've found that if you keep it full of eggs or water bottles that the thermal inertia keeps the temp constant enough, especially since the temp has to not only change in the empty space inside the unit but also inside each incubation container. I definitely think this kind of incubator is a must for trying to breed more montane species with low incubation temps.

I just got a job so I can see myself adding some new chameleons to my house.
