The other pygmies are Rieppeleon brevicaudatus. You aren't keeping all these guys together are you? If so, that is not a good idea. The Rh. viridis are a shy and delicate species that won't do well with the other species. Also, I would not try to keep the Rh. acuminatus with the R. brevicaudatus either.

Is this surly a viridis I mean I trust you here Chris, but with this picture I wouldn't bet on it

Interesting little ones, thank you for sharing.

Yeah, its a Rh. viridis. If you look at the shape of the head, it is either a Rh. viridis or temporalis but temporalis do not have tails that long.

Plus temporalis lack the well developed temporal crest that's typical for viridis (see pics above)

Wow..nice collection you got going there. Thanks for sharing.

Are the three brown ones definitely Brevs as they are all holding this brown colouration and seem quite distinct from the rest of the Brevs which came in on this shipment plus the male seems really different he stays the shape in the above pics and stays very stripey all the time as well which Im sure is also unlike Brevs.

Two of the Brevs where I got this from as well stay very dark one black one chocolatey. We have tried swapping them about in different rubs and it has not made a difference..

and yep this is definitely a female Viridis and very gravid as well.

Does anyone know how long they stay gravid please and can anyone tell roughly how long its likely to be before she lays.

Ive got the chance of some Temporalis as well and possibly one other type which i cant remember the name of.

Think I might get some temporalis now as well, I was told the stripey male might be a Kerstenii!!!

No kerstenii in those photos. Have you ever kept stump-tail chameleons before?

Having looked at pics of Kersteni I would agree and no I havent
