Update-she laid a clutch of 16 eggs last month, outside :) She is also gravid again it seems, and is showing stunning coloration. Here's to more F2s in the near future!
That website is so outdated that I'm surprised they still keep it running. The current stock of chameleons is at least 5 years + old and their prices and availability are totally inaccurate. I've not heard of many good experiences with them when they were still selling things but I can't speak...
I don't think I have any photos with something obvious for a size comparison unfortunately. Perhaps I can do so in the future though :)
The males are maybe 2/3 the size of pardalis males, and females are 2/3 the size of pardalis females. With some variation of course. A nice manageable size!
Here are a few pictures of some stunning calumma species. These are overall not super well represented in captivity unfortunately. Hoping that will change in the near future :)
Two of my three unrelated furcifer Antimena pairs have mated and there are palpable eggs developing in both females. Lengthy incubation time but I’m hoping for eggs soon :)
A stunning species that tolerates high heat better than any chameleon I have kept. Females seem to only be receptive once...
Haha well sorry to burst your bubble but that is actually my index finger. I guess I have weird fingers and hands. I agree that the little roaloko still amplifies the mood though lol.
Here’s something exciting. A presumed male has hatched and his color scheme is very close to an adult male. So perhaps this species can be sexed right out of the egg!
Hello!
I'm sure others will chime in soon, but out of curiosity, what was your rationale for putting the wood chips at the bottom? What benefit are you intending to offer your chameleon with their addition?
Also, what is the "natural way" you speak of?
With an enclosure like that, you should...
Always only two eggs for this species, across the 8 or so clutches I have gotten from them. Apparently they are the smallest of the calumma genus, according to madcham.de. So small!
The first of hopefully many captive bred calumma roaloko has hatched. To my knowledge, this is the first time this species has ever been produced in captivity. This took almost exactly 4 months of incubation, at low 70s during the day, to high 60s at night. No diapause needed.
It's likely he does have parasites, being WC. But it's hard to pinpoint why he has slowed down with eating-could be a lot of things. I'll ask why you're considering him a juvenile? He looks pretty near full grown to me and has at the least reached sexual maturity if not final adult size.
Some great advice has been posted here already, so I won't add much. However, panacur, dosed normally, will not resolve the issue of worms under the skin. The concentrations required to kill the worms under the skin in particular isn't really obtainable by oral ingestion of panacur. Surgical...
Hello! Is he wild caught or captive bred? Do you have any more pictures of the eye? An eye infection can proceed very quickly to something serious, so it's important to discern whether it's simply stuck shed that could be removed easily, or the beginning of an infection. As for how to remove the...
Thought I'd share something exciting. F1 campani are pairing up, to hopefully make some F2s in the near future. You can see the female change to non-receptive colors during the mating! Tends to happen quickly.
Darn. That's unfortunate. I haven't seen this exact presentation of worms before, but I would just be on the safe side and transfer the eggs to another container. You need to be very careful to not disturb the embryos but if done carefully it shouldn't cause much of a problem. The problem is...
Incredible! If you don't mind me asking, where do you live? I ask because whatever the answer, it suggests K. boehmei can survive in those conditions with no supplemental water etc.
