Stealthy? That makes you more likely to be shot at. Besides, for the Oustalets, it's not the locals with guns, it's a Dept. of Ag. cops with night vision goggles you have to worry about.

Hey man, I'm one of the guys working with FWC on the Oustalet's down in Florida. I don't think you have anything to worry about: They literally dig several feet down here and are honestly good at breeding/laying and dang near impossible to kill. -Josh

Thoroughly enjoyed the series, Chris.:D

Neither anti-keeping nor anti-this forum in any way, as I keep chams as well. I was referring to my work with exotic chameleons in southern Florida about which I've talked with Chris quite a bit. It's nice seeing them in their native habitat (where they should be,) instead of in the wild in...

Good to see a field post on this forum. I was about to quit. Good stuff Chris - It's cool to see chams in the wild where they're SUPPOSED to be.

Definitely a Calotes.

You sure all the clutches have been infertile? She didn't store any sperm from the previous breeding?

First off, a common species like a flapneck can probably be sustainably harvested, especially if it's only for personal pets. For finding them, my suggestion would be yes, look at night with a flashlight - but walk slow and go over good looking habitat (hedges/etc.) several times at...

What is your location? What's the habitat like?

What color is the dewlap? Occums Razor would say Anolis carolinensis, like Chris said. Definitely not A. equestris - here's a example of that species. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5245/5344799467_84d2928393_b.jpg Edit: my bad, I didn't realize there was a pg 2

A little bump with an update. A friend of mine found a new population of Oustalet's chameleons in Florida and I've been able to get down there and grab some pictures. Like I said, if anybody can help me out; the spots will stay with me and a couple of co-researchers. Here's one of the WC Oust's

I don't think you'd have territorial issues. Here in Florida we fine em' clumped together a few to a tree. Here's one of the ones found a few weeks ago... I keep my two oust's together no problem.

Where exactly are there chameleons in Vero Beach?

The females are gorgeous if you don't like the boys.

Over two and a half feet?! It's amazing what a well balanced diet and good lighting will do ;-)

I assume by "furcifer" you meant Panthers? Oustalet's Chameleons Furcifer oustaleti can be kept with a couple to an enclosure with no problems and can stand tropical temps no problem.

A quick bump and plea for more info; and some more contribution, since it seems some people enjoy the wild cham shots: Exotics are everywhere in South Florida, and my research has afforded me the opportunity to see a couple... I have a couple captive chams...

Jim - thanks for the info Eisen - Thanks. I knew it is the case with the couple species I've found in Florida, I've just never seen pygs in the wild so I was wondering if it was true for that genus. Julirs - Can't give much more info than that...yet. Some friends of mine are writing a...

Yep - A big wild male photographed on site. Glad you enjoy.

Hey all, My name's Josh - I'm a wildlife biologist and am investigating a few different species of chameleon populations in Florida for an upcoming paper on dietary habits and range in Florida and figured I'd ask this question here because of the number of cham keepers here. So, but the...
