Hi there! Thanks for the kind words :) I pulled out my copy of that book but couldn't find the photograph anywhere. Perhaps there were reprints with adjustments? Thanks, Sam

I thought I'd post a few pictures of some of the oustalet's x panther babies. There sure is a large variation in pattern and coloration. Perhaps some of the visible characteristics are dominant, and others are recessive? The eggs were laid on February 8th of this year, 30 of them in all, and...

Hi Bob, They're bigger than Panther babies, and some of them are growing as fast as any baby cham I've ever had. Still haven't lost any, which is a good sign. But, I've had baby Panther clutches hatch at 100%, not lose a single one for six weeks, then armageddon. Hi Chris, Yes, it will...

Hi Chase, The incubation period was seven months, twenty days. They all hatched within three days of each other (100%). I incubated at room temperature, no incubator. Temperatures were generally in the 75F-78F range during the day, with a slight drop at night. Haven't lost any of them so...

Jeremy - Thanks, shall do! Craigwyatt - I appreciate the kind words! :) distortionz - Glad to hear you're interested! bakednowningz - Haha much appreciated! nick barta - I'd really rather this thread not take a negative dive, or get derailed in another direction--perhaps you could start...

You may or may not recall that I bred my best breeder male Ambilobe Panther to my female Oustalet's who had never been bred before (or since, just in case this worked). She laid eggs shortly thereafter. They are both still doing very well--she is actually the most aggressive eater of all my...

Really incredible photography, good Lord.

Wow! Just wow.

Just awesome photos, very exciting!

Hi Chris, Yep, I sure did have Peacocks, so that explains it. One other factor that I neglected to mention in my initial post that made me question everything is that the clutch was only seven eggs--which would be incredibly small for even a gravid import brev. I guess I have a clutch of...

This morning I noticed three baby chams inside one of the egg boxes--I pulled the box out, and saw that it was one of our Calumma brevicornis clutches. It was exciting, but the more I look at them, I wonder if I've somehow misidentified the eggs (not sure how that could happen). The reason...

I've got three female malthe--I've had them for several months, doing great. Also a female johnstoni that I've had for months (with a partial tail), she laid a successful clutch for us, but no males left so we're selling her. All reasonable offers entertained.

Great pics as usual! Makes you wonder if it's uncomfortable the first time they stretch their spine, tail, and limbs after being compacted like that for weeks/months.

Wow, just wow! Congrats!

Hi Laurie, Yes, it's been a fruitful 4-6 weeks there's no doubt about it :) Here are the babies that have hatched or been born over the past four or so weeks here: calyptratus pardalis oustaleti verrucosus cristatus pfefferi montium dilepis quadricornis johnstoni matschiei...

Hi Chris, Thank you! It's been a crazy 30 days, that's for sure. Thanks, Sam

The matschiei eggs I collected on June 6th of last year have started hatching today, so an incubation period of just under 12 months. These were eggs that I was not sure were healthy, due to the "cracked mirror" look they developed several months into incubation--sort of like they had...

One of my female brevicornis laid a good-sized clutch of 32 eggs today. This is the largest clutch I've received from a brev, although it was the result of captive breeding so that is most certainly why. I bred a pair in early February, and she laid around six weeks later I believe, but her...

Lagartijo Hunter, GCash, Jeremy, Leedragon, Action Jackson, ponders, Craigwyatt, pamnsam94, jannb, and Dave Bolamperti - Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to comment, I really do appreciate it. They seem to be doing well, although I haven't seen all of them eat yet. I've...

Well Fluxlizard was right--the cluster of eggs have started to hatch, at least half over the last 24 hours.
