Not the usual species

[azgnoinc]

I found a post on here but couldn't get back to it and it inspired me to post some pics of my unusual/rarer species I've kept- feel free to add to the unusual species you've kept, all of these pics were taken by me some 10 years ago:
Female Bitaeniatus a couple days after giving birth to 20 or so babies

2day old baby Bitaeniatus

Brookesia Perarmata (at least that's what I bought it as)

I completely agree, I think it was really a Brookesia Supercilaris, but I could be wrong there too, this was taken in 2001.

Its actually a Brookesia thieli. Nice looking specimen too.

Thanks for clearing that up Chris, I greatly appreciate it!!

Nice looking animals!! How well did the bitan babies do for you?

 

[kinyonga]

Be careful with the thieli....they are experts at playing dead and people have disposed of the "bodies" thinking they were dead only to have them get up and walk away. If you pick one up you may also notice that they vibrate. Very interesting little chameleons.

Can you please post a picture with something that indicates its size in the photo so people can see how tiny they are?

They were completely unexpected, so not well at all. I was new into chams at the time and had done the right thing and taken them (the newly acquired WC chams I had purchased straight from an importer in CA.)to a vet, unfortunately the vet knew less about chams then I did, and didn't tell me the female was gravid. None of them lived past 39 days.

Sorry, all of these pics were taken in 2001, I don't have any of them any more. I got back in to it about a year ago, and went with Panthers only for now.

Thats a bummer. I had a WC female drop and they did not do too well for me either. Although, I have an idea of what I should have done different Live and learn I guess.

Living and learning indeed. Now if I were to get in that predicament, I would be more prepared for the care of so many at once. There are way more people on the web talking on sites like this one- which is great for information/shared knowledge.
I had been severely bitten with the cham bug at that time - I was keeping 3 Bitaeniatus, 3 Brevs, 3 Peacock/Weiders, 1 Ambanja, and a Veiled.
Time and age have taught me that patience is a must when keeping chams.
1.2 Panthers is plenty for the moment.
