Im looking for an adult female ambilobe panther chameleon. I am located in Ontario, but I am willing to have some shipped from anywhere in Canada. A younger female may also be considered.

Well my female panther laid 24 eggs today. Since I am having good luck with the perlite I put half in the perlite. The other 12 are in the clay aquatic plant soil. I will keep this thread updated over the next few months until the eggs hatch.

Thanks for the off Syn, but thats alright. I should be able to find some locally. My parents are in the business of farming bedding plants so the have some suppliers who carry various different vermiculites, I will have to get them to order what im looking for.

I am not sure of the brand, it was an industrial farm grade vermiculte not reptile. It was the middle size, not really coarse, but not a fine powder. I was unable to get the coarse type at the time. It did not have fertilizers in it so im not sure what went wrong.

My first clutch of eggs that has been incubating for over 2 months now is in vermiculite, perlite, hatchrite. All mixed based on the reccomendations from this website, except the hatchrite. The only medium I am having trouble with and have lost some of the eggs is the vermiculite. I will be...

There are a few different names, Turface is one. Schultz also made a similar product, or you can obtain it from some aquarium shops. Its broken clay pieces, so it holds water. Being smaller broken clay pieces it also allows alot of air flow. Maybe its just the Canadian crested gecko...

Anyone tried the clay aquatic plant soil for incubating chameleon eggs? The crested gecko breeders love the stuff because it holds moisture well, but breathe's very well since it is a coarse material. Unless the results are very poor I will be trying it with my next panther clutch.

I just use some fine plastic coated green wire I found at a local hardware store. You can get it in lots of different colors. For the vines just bend the end and put the wire around it and twist it into place on the outside. Go through the caging in two different spots about a 1/2 inch apart...

If you dont find the film canisters at walmart head over to the fishing section. The fishing tackle boxes with the dividers are what I used, and worked perfectly. You can even get them in different sizes. From personal experience I have only breed supers once, and just recently. It took me...

From my conversations with extreme exotics they are an importer, that does do some captive breeding. I am unsure if they are working with captive bred chameleons though. I have not purchased anything from them yet, but any conversations we have had have been good and informative.

I am using RO water with my misting system.

Around what time into the whole incubation period should I start to see the eggs changing and growing?

I have a feeling the vermiculite may have been a little too wet, even though I used the method of mixing water/vermiculite by mass. In a future clutch I will try vermiculite again and use the method of taking a fist full and only getting a drop of water. Researched as much as possible but need...

I recently, about a month ago had my first clutch of 25 panther eggs laid. I have seperated them into 3 containers (perlite, vermiculite, hatchrite). A couple of the vermiculite eggs have mold the rest look the same as the day they were laid. My question is how should the eggs change and...

Carpets are my favorite chams so jealous, hoping to get my hands on some up here in Canada soon. Any pics?

I am new to breeding, I have read that if the eggs are in a substrate that is too wet they will mold and turn bad. What about the other side of the coin and the eggs are in a subrate that does not have enough humidity?

I will be there. Likely pick up some silk worm eggs and maybe hornworms if they are available again. Dont think I need any more chameleons, unless someone has a group of pymgys i just cant pass up.

I was planning to use my closet in one of my upstairs rooms for incubating my panther eggs. The plan was for the eggs to be in vermiculite or hatchrite in tupperware containers with a couple of pin holes in the lids. These would then be placed on the top shelf of a rarely used closet. I...

Thanx for the quick responses guys, thats what I was hoping.

Do people normally clean the eggs before they place them in the vermiculite or perlite for incubating? If so what would you use, or is it ok just to dig them up and place them straight onto the incubation medium?
