Rudis chameleon looking for breeding advice

Hi everyone! I'm new to the site and have successfully kept and bred veild's and beardies, and have kept a frilled dragon, leopard geckos, a few types of salamanders and a cane toad. A while back I had to find new homes for my babies because where I lived I could not have pets. I have since bought a house and want to start over with Rudis chams. I found a pair of captive bred's, I pick them up Friday! I am very excited! I have heard that quite often when purchasing rudis that the female may already be gravid and I have read all the care sheets I can find and there is very little info on breeding. I need to know how long is the pregnancy? And anything else about breeding theese beautiful creatures! Any info will help! Thx!

Also how do I tell male from female once the babies are born?

Wow - I know they have live birth but that's about it- good luck with them!

Thanks, I knew they give live birth, that's actually why I chose Rudis'-that and the Fact you can house them in pairs or groups of females with one male thanks for the reply!

From what I was told, their gestation is between 5 and 6 months. Seems on par with Ashas pregnancy, as shes a bit over a year and had her first set of babies yesterday. They reach maturity at about 7ish months.
