Pics of the viv

Paring down some of my extra enclosures as my garage can only fit so much! First up is a Penn Plax Reptology 'HD' 18x18x36 Screen Cage. These are a nice sturdy aluminum frame cage similar to the repti-breeze but with an acrylic panel in the door for better viewing. Very lightly used...

Congrats! I'm waiting on my female werneri to drop babies as well. Any idea on gestation or did you get her already gravid? How long have you had her for? I've had pretty good luck keeping baby montanes in the glass/screen hybrid tanks by Zilla (flex cages or something like that?) which seem to...

Yeah that's who I was buying from. Without getting into details I'll just say I'm done with them. Looking for a good alternate in the region.

Had it with my old one. Anyone in the Southeast have recommendations for a good bulk cricket vendor who ships? I go through about 4 boxes a month.

What are you talking about, R. spectrum? They are a West African species (Cameroon, EG, Gabon).

Yes there are ctistatus, montium, and R. spectrum available now from Cameroon/EG. My company will have some available Monday (but we are wholesale only, don't sell to the general public, sorry). Not sure if this is the first of several imports or just a fluke yet.

I'm thinking around 2 months. I noticed her appetite increasing substantially around then and some weight gain. 5 or 6 weeks ago she was visibly gravid.

Retained sperm. No male :(

Just a week after my first clutch of T. montiums hatched out (laid March), my female laid another clutch this afternoon! I found her late today still digging but clearly lighter. After digging up all the substrate in her enclosure, I finally managed to find the eggs in the last place I expected...

As requested, a few updated shots of the babies. And a shot of mom, currently very gravid and due to lay any time now :D

I know right, of course my iphone just went through the wash so no instant gratification on pics. The fogger has been huge although I should point out that I clean the whole cage fairly regularly to prevent bacterial/mold build up and I bleach out the fogger's tubing (it's a zoomed reptifogger...

quick update: they are all still alive and doing exceptionally well! I have had some trouble raising montane species in the past but I think I (accidentally) stumbled across a working method to raise these guys. One day a week or so ago I left the fogger on in the morning as I left for work. I...

Fantastic! I had no idea anyone had successfully kept or bred this incredible species!

Update: All of the hatchlings are doing well, drinking readily and all fairly robust looking. I have them set up for 30 seconds or so of fine mist 3 times daily in addition to hand misting and occasionally turning on the fogger. They move SO slowly, though, it seems like they are having trouble...

Thanks everyone! They're all looking great so far, still waiting for the last egg. Off to get some flies and then hopefully I'll be able to get some decent pics :D The best part is that mom's gravid with another clutch and due to lay any day now so there should be even more babies in the near...

My first clutch of T. montium made their way out of the egg today, somewhat unexpectedly! While I knew they were due to hatch, the eggs showed no signs of sweating, etc. and I'm fortunate that I happened to check on them today after checking yesterday with no change. Eggs were laid 1/25 from my...

I would definitely be interested in doing that. My female is very likely gravid. I've found she's very partial to hornworms and superworms.

I have to add that my male boehmei is one of the most active chams I have despite being a fraction of the others' size. He is also the only cham I have ever seen slip under a closed door to leave a free range room. Be cautious, they're cagey little things. Much more comfortable on the ground...

Congrats on the pickup! I assume you got them from Bay Area Reptile? I got a pair from Ray a few weeks ago. Great chameleons, adapting really well to captivity, although the female seems to be a bit finicky about eating (much prefers superworms and silkworms). I wouldn't be surprised at all if...
