You have beautiful chameleons

Are you housing them as a group?

 

[jeffro]

No just have fems together for now

 

[Trace]

Ok good. Considering the time of year, one or both of those girls are likely gravid and they become VERY aggressive towards any males because of their delicate state. Also pay attention to the stress level of the girls. They may be getting along now but as they settle into captivity they may become aggressive towards each other if they are indeed gravid. The werneri are not what I consider a species that can live in pairs or groups.

The werneri are one of my favourites so have fun with the trio.

I had kept the females in a pair, and they were housed in a trio at the shop. The females from what I noticed in the short time I had them, always stuck close together and even ate together.

Well of course we all know that pet stores are a bastion of proper care and information.

Yes, but my point is they were housed as a trio, and apparantly had been from the original breeder.

 

[Trace]

Ah yes, the breeder that thought they were jacksonii.

 

[Lizardlover]

Ah yes, the breeder that thought they were jacksonii.

The breeder knew what they were, the shop did not, the shop thought that they were a subspecies/locality of jacksonii, hence them calling them a werneri jacksons. Anyways, not worth arguing over
