If you purchased a Bolt female, you purchased her from Canvas Chameleons/Nick Henn even if you forgot the name of the breeder. Nick wasn't an industrial breeder. He wrote some of the best content on this forum. I still reference many of his articles from time to time.
Awesome to see this man - I am excited to watch these guys prove out with you in the spring :). I hope you enjoyed digging through the family history as much as I do!

We ask for $75 down on between $375 and $499 for most of our reservations. We have a few F1 groups from our WC lines at $549. Females are usually about $100 less than males.
Our juveniles are all individually priced and listed here...
Many of you know we share our upcoming clutches and many of our customers come to us via a $75 fully refundable/transferable reservation. This Thanksgiving, we are giving all of our reservation list members a $150 discount on any outstanding invoice or future purchase between now and...
Yeah, one can forgive the initial mistake, but a 5 month old female is what she is. Any hobbyist can see at this point - it doesn't take specialized skills to sex this animal.
Well, there's really only two options: money or ignorance. Take your pick. I have sent out over 1,000 Furcifer pardalis over the years and I have never been wrong on gender, including my very first clutch.
We (breeders) can tell if they're male/female immediately when they hatch. I could see this was a female from the first picture you shared, and if they're still saying to wait at this point, I'm sorry. They're not a breeder.
We have an amazing group of F2 juveniles ready to go - ideal shipping conditions over the next week!
Their F1 sire, Manjaka, is one of my favorite YBBB Ambilobe, and the males that don't resemble him are resembling their dam's dam's sire - Landy (aka Silk), another amazing YBBB Ambilobe breeder...
You really need to read what I wrote - you are arguing with yourself at this point. I never claimed to be able to reproduce the sire or eliminate the natural variation we see in Furcifer pardalis. In fact, the first article explains where the variation comes from (polygenic inheritance) and the...
Selective breeding is not the same as line breeding or inbreeding - which is what you are referring to. I have no interest in those, but I do have breeding goals and traits I select for. There is nothing similar between selective breeding panther chameleons and ball pythons because ball pythons...
Thank you! It's a passion project and I hope the information helps customers and other breeders make good decisions. Only way we are going to succeed is with better information and a stronger market/community.
And for perspective on what being wrong with 75% of the information (Sire + Dam Sire) looks like - flip a coin twice. Two tails is a 25% outcome, and that is the probability that you are wrong when you only have Sire and Dam Sire information. (very rough approximation because we are talking...
That is exactly what I get into in the second post about a "base estimate" for what is in an animal you add to your project - I tried to summarize it in an information gain table for what lineage is useful and what is not:
