Trying to breed

[hyunho6]

I AM trying to breed my carpet chameleon but when I put them togeter small one(female) always bit big one(male) how can i make them breed??
and not fight

BEFORE you put them together I'd suggest holding one outside the other's screen (or in an entirely new cage altogether since they get territorial), see the female's reaction first. If she hisses, gapes, etc the more obvious signs of being distressed, try again in a few days. If she acts calm or like she's ignoring him it's most likely time to let them be. Make sure the female is atleast a year old (it's safer that way) and (I don't know what it is for Carpet's, but there's usually a weight in grams that's recommended).

Do you guys thinks this is a pair?
and about 1 year old?

I dont own carpets but, you should put up pictures of both so when someone experienced stops by they can help a little better.

she doesnt even look full grown to me. is she? i dont know about them and im shure someone will help you but do you even know if she is reseptive? and females should be more colorful than males in this species. you may not have a M/F combo.

You can't make the chameleons breed. The female has to be receptive...if you put her with the male and she isn't she will attack the male if he comes close enough.


What KarmaChameleon1337 said is what you need to do.

BTW I can't see two pictures.

Are you the person who just got them and found some in the wild? I'd suggest making sure they ARE male/female, that they're atleast 1 year old, and wait until you're very good at keeping them alive before breeding, breeding can take alot of money and work.

didnt you get these a few weeks ago?

yes like 3 week

Exactly.. you shouldnt be trying to breed them.. They havent even gotten used to their new environment. You are putting excessive amounts of stress on them. Wait a few months and try again, what is the rush?

vailedchams
ur lucky to have some baby chameleon

Dude, slow down with the chams.

Get a bucket with some sand (a laying bin) inside the females enclosure. Just in case.

And again, wait for breeding them. Do your research first, it isnt easy!

like how long?
and what kind of sand?

 

[VeiledChams]

at least 3-4 months. Wait until next year. that'll give the chams plenty of time for them to get accustomed to their new environment and for you to learn THEIR behavior. That way you'll be able to tell when something isn't right. You have to be very patient with this. You just cant make it happen. There is no rush for this. If you rush it, you will harm the chameleons and will come out losing everything you've put into them.

As I said, there is no rush.
