Never realised they could be kept properly in captivity until I started going on captivebred.co.uk website. You see people keeping allsorts on there....armadillos, sugar gliders, fruit bats, hedgehogs, moles as well as all the herps etc. Chameleons have the most character and beauty and...

I admire that attitude. If you can't provide the conditions, you go for something you can provide for. Well done...when you can provide the temperatures I'm sure you'll be a very considerate keeper :)

Don't mean to start a debate...but stress does count as a 'feeling'...they are pretty complex hormonally and it doesn't only need a brain in the nervous system to show intelligence and sentience...brain size is NO measure of intelligence AT ALL! Chemeleons show their 'feelings' more than many...

Yep..Francine changes to nice stripey colours when basking in the morning sun...taking in all the heat before the sun disappears over the top of the building...it only get a few hours of sun...which is ideal at the moment...I'm watching carefully, and she will come in with the AC when it gets...

Wahey!!! My temps for the rudis today were 75 daytime and 55 nighttime...spot on! :)

I think most of the time we can get to them to collect in this country. I think with the right courier it is OK

Lovely jubbly :) Handsome devil that one...never seen these captive in this country :p

Air conditioning sir :) My rudis is outside at the moment though, which gives quite a nice temperature drop...depends where you live :)

Great photos...beautiful yemen! :)

Great pics Kent! I Looooove your carpets! They can be grumpy can't they :)

good luck...

Hi Tawny... Where are you besed in the UK? Did you get your carpets from Rick Bass? I have a female lat. major from him which I'm hoping to breed soon, so perhaps we should do some swaps some time in the future if I have any luck with eggs? Congrats with hatching your babies Best...

I love the 'happy' colours on the rescue veiled....they are all smashers! :)

Excellent...they are cute as a button. My guess would have been thieli as well :)

I'd go for rudis, or a close relative. The dorsal scales throw me off a bit though :)

Thanks all...I'm really trying hard to get this right, as you all know they are not regarded to be 'easy' to maintain. It's the start of a beautiful montane journey :D I do like Francine...hmmm

I like Carol :)

Thanks Alchemy....she doesn't have a name yet...so I'm up for suggestions...proper people names though please, I like to anthropomorphise my animals :eek: (is that even a word?) :D

My lovely little rudis just settling in and having a drink on her first day. She's doing well a few days on. I hope she's pregnant too...so fingers crossed :) Enjoy :D

Thanks Wormily...I have read the rockmountain rudis page through entirely. It is a very good account of their experiences, and a really good read. Sounds like you had to learn the hard way :( I do hope I have more luck. Do you still keep them?
