My first post

Hello everyone,
I’m new here. I had a panther chameleon as a kid and I’m considering a chameleon again. I joined tortoise forum before getting my tortoise and the information there is amazing. Thought I would try this forum. I look forward to learning all I can before making a decision.

Welcome to the forum!

What kind of tortoise did/do you have?

I came here to research Brookesia but it seems like they are very hard to find……

Are you looking into brookesia to own or just to learn about them?
Where do you live? (State, country?)

What tortoise did/do you have?

@Mendez @javadi Do you have any info or links?

There are over 30 species of brookesia chameleons...so it would help if we know which one you want.

Below is the most comprehensive brookesia care article that I am aware of. It is focused on brookesia thieli. However the care can be somewhat similar to B. superciliaris and therezieni. It requires a subscription to Responsible herpetoculture to read though-a great organization that does good work for reptiles and reptile keeping!

This article is pages 84-91 in the Responsible Herpetoculture Journal, Issue #5, 2022, which is now available on www.responsibleherpetoculture.com.ua for RHP members with a valid subscription to view or download.

Alternatively, for a less in-depth overview of brookesia in captivity in general, check out the chameleon academy podcast episode on brookesia (leaf chameleons). Hope this helps!
