Congrats with this nice species! I keep them myself and they are really fun to work with. You can keep them in small groups of 2 males and several females in a big enclosure without a problem. Me and my friend have both our first captive hatched juveniles since a short time. Males and females...

My firstname is actually "Gaylord", so will you make your kid to be picked on for the rest of his life, haha :P

I keep a close eye on the animals, i have a slightly different approach and experience then most keepers, since i keep all my animals in really big enclosures/free range. From my modest experience it seems that, if you give them plenty of space, they don't get stressed when they are gravid or in...

small photo update: male: gravid female: sub-adult female:

Very nice pictures, especially the one with the curtain. This reminds me of my own chams, since they are all in free-range setups and once or twice a month i find a cham hanging in the exact same position as you mentioned on a curtain, computer cable, ... Also i share the same opinion as...

Indeed, a very nice coloration on the male. Good luck with them!

Very nice species indeed! Hopefully they give birth to some strong juveniles as you don't come across this species every day. best regards

A few days ago there were a few little surprises :)

Yeah Chris & damaranum should be right! I just wanted to make sure all options were still considered ;) and i'm no dilepis expert. And i must say they are really nice chameleons. When i started i had one of these and they are a really fun species/complex to work with, i will get them again one...

Regarding the chameleon from the documentary, we should also consider that it is also possible that it isn't filmed in South Africa but a neighbouring country (film makers tend to use material shot in different areas to create their docu and even for very experienced chameleon specialists it is...

Hey guys, thanks for all the nice comments! @ eisentrauti: I will need all the finger crossing that i can get! Thanks! @ Damaranum: ofcourse i will keep all hatchlings for me and a few close friends, but for now i don't even have eggs yet, and the first problem will be to keep the female...

Very nice pictures and one of my favorite species!

Caught during some heavy action? ;) regards

Thanks, they are indeed beautiful chameleons, unfortunately no hatchlings will be sold from this species because they will all be kept in our own research project to fully understand their husbandry and breeding requirements.

very nice pics and animals!

@ Klemins: you should indeed have enough time to keep an eye on them the first few weeks, i even kept 1.4 cristatus (3-5 months old juveniles) together with k. tenuis and sternfeldi without a problem, though you need to split them once they start to out grow the others. It all depends on the...

It depends on what people see as colorful. Females have indeed a bigger spectrum of bright colors (green, yellow, red, blue, ...) on the other hand, the males can be very beautiful with their shades of brown/white/black/blue/yellow especially when they want to mate. kind regards

@ Chris: Yes, i'm keeping them as a 1.2 group, together with my k. tenuis group and 2.1 ch. tr. sternfeldi. There is no visible stress (color darkening, hissing, ...) whatsoever but then again they have a very spacious enclosure. In my opinion they need this big enclosure (as with most other...

no carpets are furcifer lateralis, "jeweled" chameleons are furcifer campani regards

@ Chris: They are indeed a very nice species. Luckily i have 2 males, one is with a very good belgian friend and the otherone is with my own females, i'm hoping to hatch some babies soon. Their coloration in natural sunlight is stunning and impossible to get with any artifical light bulb.
