Yes! I will most definitely do my best to hop back on the forums and share my awesome animals. I have some Abronia and Cophotis dumbara that I shoudl share pictures of soon, as they are arboreal and very chameleon-like in care. Maybe I should do a picture room tour. My friend who is organizing...

A few months ago there was an import of wc merumontanus to Europe, despite Tanzania being closed. These animals are completely unrelated to any of the captive stock that has been in Europe the past few years. Likely they were smuggled to neighboring Kenya and exported as subadult xantholophus.

Thank you!! Thank you Jeremy! For real. I hope to spice up the forums with chameleon diversity! That's the goal! I've got an unrelated pair coming from the same guy in the next few months. I really love Bradypodion so starting a breeding project is only natural lol

Also, long time no see Chameleon Forums! It feels good to post again, but I've been busy with work and balancing a social life. Overall, all is good and I can't complain.

A couple weeks ago I got a Bradypodion thamnobates that was legally exported from South Africa. For those of you unaware of the circumstances surrounding South Africa, this is a HUGE deal. South Africa is practically an iron dome, so for animals to get out legally, you know things had to be done...

Great goals! Can't wait to see some new cham x greenhouse pics from you! Where would you be getting farm raised matschei from? Is Tanzania reopening?

Went to the aquarium of the pacific the other day with my parents and brother and got to see their new frog exhibit! If you're in the Long Beach/ Los Angeles area, I highly recommend checking it out! They even had golden mantellas which are from Madagascar. The two images below are of the...

Thank you everyone!! I think I said this last year, but I hope to be more active on the forums this year. You guys are literally saving cham lives, so hopefully I be on to make your lives a little easier (and more fun ;)).

I used to use these millipedes as part of my clean up crew. They will eat leaf litter and chameleon poop just like any other springtail or isopod. Basically any small critter will fill the clean up crew role if the niche is open in your cage. If you want to help prevent an infestation or...

How cold is "cold"? Veiled chameleons are montane chameleons and can take cold nights. But to answer your question, I've used a variety of methods to lift up a fixture off the top of an enclosure. I've created an arm out of pvc that lifts the fixture up. Essentially it was a square frame with 4...

Sorry for your losses. It's always tough losing babies. Luckily this year I didn't incur any losses with my pygmies. All 5 Brookesia superciliaris are subadults now. May I ask why you chose perlite to incubate the eggs? While perlite and vermiculite look similar, they act very differently. In...

You can put a slice of banana in with the babies and hope to draw in small flies while you wait for food. When this years Brookesia supercilaris hatched, they were also a surprise. Luckily I had some fungats gnats in there for them to eat. They went 3 or 4 days without me supplying vendor-bought...

@Action Jackson would be the best person to ask

Those are some really nice individuals! Looks like @javadi already got you squared away with the podcasts.

Fantastic work man! Glad to see you having so much success with willsii! What are your night temperatures looking like?
