Old photo…globifers.

My first pair of globifers purchased in the early 1990’s…WC and adults when I got them…

They lived in the same cage…seemed quite comfortable with each other. I had them for a few years. The male finally got a strange way of holding his head in an unusual position. The vets could find no reason for it to be happening. The female laid one batch of eggs a couple of years after I got her but they never hatched.

I have seen that picture of your pair of Calumma globifer before. That is a well known vintage Calumma globifer photo. Thanks for the repost.

Have you got any pictures of their enclosure you kept your Calumma globifer pair in?

I don’t have the photo handy at the moment…but…it was an aquarium with a screen lid. Don’t give me a hard time about it…when I first started keeping chameleons there were no screen cages in Canada at all available…and even when they did come in eventually, they were still not very practical with the cold temperatures and dry air in the winters here. As long as you understood the chimney effect, and left no standing water in them, the aquariums were fine for most species.

Over the years, I tried aquariums with screen lids, screen cages, glass cages with screen doors and lids, glass cages with screen lids and glass doors with vents below the doors. The ones with the vents below the doors and screen lids worked best, but the aquariums with screen lids were a close second.

That is okay. I was just curious/wondering about and if you had a Calumma globifer enclosure photo reference. Calumma globifer is a great species from the genus Calumma.
