Sure did, I photographed all the ones on my list! Although some photos are better/clearer than others :) I'll share some of those soon.

Same, I had heard other brookesia sleep a bit off the ground, but I didn't expect what I found with thieli! Also wasn't expecting so many brookesia on big thick logs and tree trunks.

Thank you! And thanks for the tips on what to expect :) it was helpful knowing others who have gone there before.

Same here, and consider it granted :)

Here's some pictures of calumma parsonii. Something interesting about them-the ones I saw were mostly on the outskirts of villages/towns where foliage was less dense, often in introduced plants like avocado trees or jackfruit trees. The ambient humidity during the daytime tended to be very high...

Also, some experts agree that these are B. thieli, which I'm inclined to agree with, but these individuals had slightly different features than most B. thieli I have ever seen or worked with. Specifically the supraorbital crest/spikes along the eyes. These were found in Ranomafana, so who knows...

Some more + B. thieli. Note that B. superciliaris and B. therezieni are often found on thick logs as well as the ground.

I found Brookesia superciliaris, therezieni, thieli in Madagascar across a few sites. All 3 species can be found on very thick tree trunks, logs and branches, on thinner branches, as well as on the ground and in the case of thieli, very high up on trees as well. At night, they would all often be...

I recently got back from a 2-week expedition to Madagascar where I primarily looked for chameleons and observed them in their native habitat. I thought I would make this thread to summarize some observations I had during this time, probably over a few separate posts over time. Of course this is...

Update: 1.1 Furcifer antimena spoken for. Furcifer major still available.

I have an opportunity for a very experienced keeper. I am leaving for Madagascar on February 23rd, but had some chameleons hatch at the worst time. I would usually make these available when they got much bigger, but I have some very small CBB furcifer antimena babies (1.1) and 1 CBB furcifer...

This setup would work for Brookesia, but I wouldn't go for carpets, as I would guess they would develop an RI in that enclosure.

That's me :) If you already got access to the RH journal for the thieli article, then the stumpffi article will be appearing in the next issue and you'll probably get access to that as well, so I will send you the preprint. Thanks for supporting the journal!

For some reason I didn't get notified of being tagged in this thread. Some good suggestions thus far. They have certainly lost weight based on their appearance, which suggests that there is a health problem and not just a dormancy brought on by environmental conditions. If you want to learn more...

@Mendez above gives some good suggestions and it will help to answer the questions he poses. Firstly, are they males or females? A female losing weight is sometimes more concerning than males because developing eggs can act as a nidus for infection (that males don't have) which can present as...

Major are still hatching but 4 so far, no losses and hopefully another 6 or so will be hatching soon, not sure what the final hatch rate will be, but all eggs look good. Only 3 antimena so far but no losses. Two eggs didn't make it and the clutch was small. Hopefully more soon from another...

Would you be willing to share some of these documented studies? I'd love to take a look.

Haven’t posted on all this in a while. 3 more Malagasy species have hatched over the last several months after pairing in captivity. Furcifer major. Hatched at 6.8 months with a 40 day 60 degree diapause. Only ones in the US to my knowledge. Furcifer antimena. Hatched at about 9 months...

Yes, that is gravid coloration. They will sometimes show this for a long time without actually having eggs develop however, especially this time of year. "non-receptive" coloration is a more accurate description, and this could be due to being gravid already or being stressed from the dry season...
