I recently bought a male Nosy Be (1 yr. old), supposedly. He is smaller then my 10 mo. female. Anyway, after I bought him, the seller informs me he came from a clutch of eggs that were imported from Madagascar, but hatched in the states. So, would I call him wild caught, or what? Would he be considered wild or captive hatched. Thanks.

Don't panic, 11
Please if you can upload a photo of the male.
Sometimes chams grow at very different rates. I have one male at 4 months blew other male out of the game. My Memphis is a giant. He is only just 6 mo. old but huge.
Also WC means Wild caught / CH means hatched from wc parents
This doesn't mean that the cham is wild in any way.
I have a nosy be male born from a WC female . My Tiamat is the most gentle male you would ever want.
I really truly think it is how they are handled (or not ) from little on up.
I have a male that was 5 mo old when I got him not WC bred but probably not ever handled or maybe just not social.
there are a lot of variables with these animals
Please submit those photos so we can comment.

Dummy Me LOL
I messed up on the age of my female. She would be bigger, as she is actually 14 mos., so my male would be a yr. old according to size. I will try and show you my tribe.
This is my lovely female, "Siren's Song"
This is my baby (6 mos.) "Blueberry Muffin"
This is my handsome "Indigo Viking"
They would only let me post 5 pics. Indigo is more turquoise.

A lovely "tribe" for sure.
Don't you just love the subtle blues on the nosy be females.

I won't tell her ; )Thanks! Don't tell the others, but she is my favorite, too. I tried, yesterday to breed her with Indigo Viking, but she was not interested. LOL. Maybe tomorrow.

I believe he would be considered captive breed f1 as he was not born in the wild. Beautiful chameleons!!
