Hello everyone, a friend of mine, my husband and I did some more work about soil temperatures, this time in the east of Madagascar. It was recently published in CHAMAELEO (magazine of the working group chameleons of the German society for Herpetology and Herpetoculture) and deals with nearly a...

Hi, Yes, we have measured in other places in Madagascar, too. There is currently an unpublished article on ground temperatures in eastern Madagascar, more precisely Andasibe and the surrounding area, i.e. the eastern highlands. As it will be published in a very small club magazine, the data is...

Just finished translating another article I've written together with my husband. Might be interesting for chameleon friends, especially for panther chameleon keepers. It's about the life cycle, the different habitats and colors of panther chameleons around the island. The article was originally...

I recently wrote a rather detailed article on keeping and breeding Parson's chameleons together with my husband and another breeder friend. There is also a section about the habitat in Madagascar. The original article was published in the German Society for Herpetology and Herpetoculture's own...

Agree, unfortunately, no accurate information, at least as much as I can say for the Malagasy species. Calumma boettgeri has a picture of Calumma linotum... and many distribution data are simply wrong. For example, Calumma oshaughnessyi has "northern Madagascar" as distribution, but it occurs...

I was actually also impressed by the video quality. It's "only" a DJI Pocket, a really small camera! Being an inexperienced video camera user, I, unfortunately, produced a lot of very blurry Brookesia videos. Later it worked a bit better, but small chameleons are a challenge with this camera...

Uploaded some more and working on day 12 today. :D

No, that's an expedition we did last year only with a few friends due to the harsh conditions in some forests in the north. The usually visited forests in the central east are much more comfortable to visit. ;) We're actually in Madagascar several times a year but never managed to make videos...

It took quite a long time, but I finally found time to start our expedition blog (or "vlog", I didn't know this word existed) for our last Madagascar trip. There is a video for every day - sometimes I filmed more, sometimes less. But overall you can get a good impression of Madagascar and a...

Thanks for your answer, Jeremy!

Ah, thank you! Never seen that section over here. That seemed to have been a typical scenario at this time. I know lots of keepers who had them just a few years, primarily wild caught and no one knew where they exactly came from (their habitat in Madagascar differs remarkably from e.g. the east...

Hi there, I was recently asked what ages Furcifer oustaleti can reach in captivity. In fact, I found very little safe information about it. In reports from keepers and few scientific publications, the animals reach surprisingly short age ranges (however, most reports are either old or deal...

Hello everyone, together with my husband and a good friend I just published an article about soil temperatures in the Chamäleo (magazine of the working group chameleons in Germany). It deals with ~ 1400 measurements of soil temperatures in Ankarafantsika national park in the west of Madagascar...

Thanks for this link! It's actually the method with constant 28°C that was suggested in 1992 by Schmidt for F. oustaleti. Very interesting that this is still one of the used incubation methods. I wonder why no one has experimented much with night drops in this species since then. But given the...

I've uploaded the list just a few days ago, so not a lot of possibilities to stumble upon yet. ;)

Here's a page with incubation data for various Malagasy species that have been published so far in smaller magazines such as Chameleo, CiN, Elaphe, or others. I had some time to browse through chameleon literature and thought this list might be helpful for others, too. So I put it on the website...

The pictures in the first posting of the thread or all? Those on the first page may have been deleted since they were not uploaded to the forum directly. All others should be visible.

Dug out the old thread to show recent work. A Brookesia thieli. It is very difficult to completely separate the skin scales from the mini bones on this tiny specimen.

Hi, the third one's here, too (just not that often as an active member), that's me. ;) Wow that's really sad. Honestly, we didn't expect one of the three eggs to hatch anymore. But there was a small glimpse of hope after using the Egg Monitor, so we continued incubation.

Not that I know of.
