After 14 months of waiting my first carpet chameleon baby has finally hatched! Does anyone have any experience raising this species? It was tough enough to get a hatchling so i really want her to make it
Yeah unfortunately it did die. I ended up cutting the egg open and but i was too late. What causes this issue? Any suggestions so i can avoid this problem in the future?
So as of a couple days ago I noticed that one of my carpet chameleon eggs has shrank dramatically and upon inspection i can clearly see a well developed embryo inside with little to no light passing through the egg. The clutch was laid about 9 months ago but this one particular egg seems to be...
All the eggs are doing great. Unfortunately the dam isnt around any more but i have 2 seperate tamatave x nosy faly clutches incubating right now hopefully this summer theyll be hatching.
I recently acquired a beautiful pair of jeweled chameleons and i am wondering if anyone has any experience with keeping or breeding this species. I have experience working with smaller chameleon species and have kept F lateralis for a couple years now. The female arrived gravid but there isnt...
My Carpet chameleon unfortunately contracted an infection, and her vet has her on Enrofloxin (Baytril). She's been on it for 5 days. A side effect of this antibiotic is appetite loss, and we're struggling with that right now. She had a healthy appetite, even with the infection, up until I...
Sorry to hear about your loss. Ive had both my male and female carpets since they were tiny little hatchlings and dread the day either one of them passes. I have had 6 successful clutches and NEVER once did my female burry her eggs. No matter what i tried id always find her eggs spread...
Yeah sure lol its gonna be awhile tho the eggs were only recently laid. Here's a pictures of the sire, a CB Nosy faly produced from west coast chameleon brothers. The female tamatave comes from a very high white lineage, heres a picture of her clutch mate
I know most people arent fond of cross locals but i have seen some pretty interesting combinations that have inspired me to try some of my own. Currently i have tamatave and nosy faly eggs incubating as well as ambilobe x faly eggs.However the hybrid that i am most excited to see how will turn...
What is the optimum day/night length? Ive been having this problem too with my panthers. My male ambilobe shows little to no interest to his female so i bought a pair of tamatave hoping this would solve the problem but it hasnt. The 2 males dont really seem bothered when they see one another...
So ive decided id like to sell my male tamatave and purchase a male from another local but im some what hesitant about transactions online. For a fist timer what would be the recommended way to purchase/sell online? I figured using ship your reptile would be the best bet for shipping but could...
Im in the Denver area looking for some local breeders to by work with. I currently have ambilobe,tamatave and carpet chameleon breeding pairs and am looking to add to my collection. If anyone lives in the Denver or Front Rang area that has a common interest please respond for contact information.
I bought a pair of what i was told were tamatave panthers from an expo a couple weeks ago but im not positive the seller was correct. He is predominantly white with a orange u bar and has powder blue along his dorasal with shades of green along his back legs. I have several other chameleons so i...
My female laid her second clutch of eggs today and they look much more healthier than her first clutch so im really hoping for a decent hatch rate with these eggs. She laid 19 her first time and 22 this time. Currently i have them in sealed deli containers and the substrate is repashy super...
I got him from a local breeder who owns a reptile store here in Colorado. Ive bought 4 chameleons from him including my breeding pair of F lateralis and they have all turned out beautifully. Im really hoping to breed him but he doesnt seem to be interested lately
