There are no Rieppeleon nor Rhampholeon in the U.S. They are even rare in Europe. This may change if more countries (Tanzania) open for export but as of right now there is a 0% chance of finding them in the U.S.
Brookesia are another story. Very rare captive bred, but imported from time to...
Most of the questions have been answered appropriately and well by other members :)
Supplements can be the same as for something like a panther. Nothing too special for lats. It is better to go with less supplement vs. oversupplementing though. In part because giving too much might exacerbate...
Wild caught brookesia species tend to have parasites but it's not usually necessary to treat them unless there is a high enough load of parasites or you see their health declining. I don't typically bother unless they are losing weight or have other issues. The above posts give good info. I...
No problem :) hope it helps!
They are 100% lying if they claim this is a captive bred animal. There have been no documented captive breedings of this species in many years. Even if there were, the offspring would not likely be found at a pet store.
OK, that's reassuring then. Wet appearing right after laying is fine :) If only the tiniest amount of water comes out when squeezed, things are good. Did she dig to lay the eggs or scatter?
Most of them don't look immediately problematic, which is good. Some are somewhat poorly formed though. Was this from a wild caught female by chance? I'd expect a few of the eggs to go bad, but the others have a good chance. Some look a bit shinier than I would expect of healthy eggs. Were they...
I have not personally kept them, but I have worked with and talked extensively with several individuals who have. They can be kept like panther chameleons, but go towards the lower range of acceptable temperatures and offer water a bit more frequently. This appears to be a female, but the sexes...
He is a male :) Hemipenal bulge is very obvious in this one. Males tend to develop slightly taller casques as well. Overall they're more tricky to sex than something like a panther though
I might have one left that isn't spoken for and close to big enough to ship out. I am out of town right now (hence the delay) but if the remaining one is still available, I will reach out and let you know. Otherwise, I have another clutch hatching within the month so will have some more...
She probably is gravid. Trending weights in small species like this are not always helpful. If you are very confident, you can very carefully palpate her for eggs. This involves lightly moving your fingers together while in contact with her belly. Alternatively, you should be able to see the...
Hello,
I have CBB carpet chameleons growing right now. Making this thread to gauge interest. They will be ready to go in a month or two. Let me know if you would be interested. Typically I sell them from $250-$350 depending on size and sex. I often (but not always) will cover part of shipping...
Update: Spoken for :)
I have an unrelated pair of captive bred and born brookesia stumpffi available. I'm not aware of anyone else offering captive bred pygmy chameleons. They are priced at $650 shipped for the pair. These are perhaps the hardiest brookesia out there. These need all the help...
Yeah, I've used them, but only when sent to me first :)
I don't really find them necessary. If you ship to a fedex center, the temperature doesn't tend to be a big issue. Shipping chameleons when it's hot is more dangerous than when cold though. They work fine and can give some piece of mind but...
Check out this podcast on them, it goes over almost all elements of their care :)
