small update of some juveniles from our breeding project: 5 months old juveniles (females): best regards Joery

On xmas-day i found these eggs (clutch of 11 eggs) burried 20cm (7-8 inch) below the surface by my 13 months old captive hatched (F1) female (she measures around 20cm): According to their shape and color i would guess they seem fertile. The father is also a CH (F1) specimen of...

My vote goes to Trioceros since more species get my interest (especially Tr. cristatus, deremensis and johnstoni) although ch. quilensis is the species i started with years ago and i definately would like to keep it again in the future.

No just Tom, me and micha (makes 3). I use a substrate of 30cm plant soil (pretty moist) and a toplayer of forest moss and they dig a hole of around 5-10cm deep beneath the moss and deposit the eggs (4-6eggs). I have made a movie clip of a digging female, though the quality isn't really good...

I have to correct you on thatone Benny, there are 3, the 2 you know which i know also and myself, hehe. They are indeed very rare and not easy to hatch. I've had only 3 juveniles hatching from 10 eggs (all others died during hatching and suffocated in the egg). I hope the tweaks i've made for...

Very nice Chuck!

Very nice animals and pictures Benny!

That's a damn pitty Chris! Hopefully the remaining babies will be able to grow up without any further problems. Good luck!

very nice animals!

Very nice animals Steven! If Damaranum gets more common (females that is), i will sure keep them myself also then. They are one of my favorites too.

Thanks! I will look for some pictures of the juvenile when i just got it and make a small comparison with how it is now 3.5 months later. Taking care of them is not easy. They are a species that lives up in the hills in Madagascar (Ankaratra Mountains) at elevations of 2000-2500m. So you can...

Yeah, They are not easy when it comes to drinking. The need a long rain shower (misting 10-15 minutes twice a day) before they actually start to drink significant amounts to keep themselves hydrated. Eating is no problem, they would eat themselves dead if you would let them :P I hope to get 1...

Yeah i've kept the following species together in 1 setup: 1.4 tenuis (adult), 2.1 sternfeldi (3-6 months old) and 1.4 tr. cristatus (3-5 months old) without any signs of aggression or stress. The tenuis gave me around 25 eggs in this setup (together with the other species). Currently though i...

Yeah, I have several of these setups ;) I keep 1.4 cristatus in such a setup also without a problem (animals are approximately 1 year old now and between 20-25cm)

1m20 x 1m20 x 2m50 (large ficus tree, check my setups in the setups section ;) (search for "phelsuma")

Very nice pics Chris, they are showing a nice coloration!
