Small Chameleon species what’s your favorite

[Madmango]

There are quite a few small species of chameleons...,but you need to look at what's available....it won't necessarily be what you like that's available.

This is so true. Thought it would be fun to see what other people like.

I like brookesia thieli the best of the little species.

 

[Mendez]

Brookesia Superciliaris is also a cool one. It is one of the larger brookesia species, but cool none the less. I think these guys are one of the more common ones.

Though keep your eyes open, Madagascar may be opening again and you could look out for some of the smaller calumma/furcifer/brookesia species (source: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/furcifer-willsii-gang-gang.177697/page-2#post-1637289 ).

Love them!

Love them!

Me too. I think they're bradypodium damaranum and bradypodium pumilum. I could be wrong though.

I know for sure the Cape Dwarfs are bradypodium pumilum! I’ll have to look up the other one.

That's correct--their colors are insane. I also like thamnobates.

They're so cool. Imagine being fortunate enough to breed them!!!!

You are two-for-two! You have won the award of knowing your chams!

Yes! They have the cutest little chin spikes...or, rounds I guess! Haha

 

[ERKleRose]

Does anyone know someone who’s kept or bred Cape Dwarfs? I’d be really interested to reach out and learn more!

Last one I saw was in 2014.

Sorry, late to the party. I love the T. hoehnelii, but I'm biased. Got to say the willsii are wonderful too. I keep hoehnelii in pairs.

 

[kinyonga]

@bobcochran ...have you found any problems keeping them in pairs?

 

[Flick boy]

I don’t think you could go wrong with Lateralis. They are gorgeous just wish they lived longer.

Yeah same here

OH lord...

I keep a group of Male veileds in the large cricket keeper as babies. If you start them in it while they're small, they never grow larger than the tank. I was asking fir care tips at Petco and that's what the dog told me.

thats a great one. Do you know if CB are easy to come by? This is one for my short list. Thanks for sharing

I have never kept them. But my understanding is that you can keep one Emile and several females together in the same cage. You will have an endless supply of babies this way though.
