Senegals and Carpets

[Terrapene13]

I've been looking into chameleons for a while now, and am interest in both Senegals and Carpets, but i do have one question for the network of Cham keepers out there.

I always run across the wild caught specimens, but no captive breds...would any of you know anyone who breeds either of these species? I would much rather support captive breeding as compared to imports...any ideas?

Wow, they look great, i will definitely keep him in mind...How about Senegals though? Captive Breeders seem few and far between in respect to them.

Senegal's are never available CB, and to my knowledge no one is seriously working with them. We are very committed to working with senegal's in the near future but we have an expansion project to finish before I can house anything else.

Give a year or so and hopefully I will have some Cb senegals. WC's are ALOT OF WORK!

Yes, WC senegals are quite a bit of work as they are usually loaded with parasites. I find carpets more interesting anyway (sorry, Luis ) and still have about 9 eggs incubating but definitely love the species.
