My chameleons came! Four of them arrived cold but healthy and one unfortunately didn't make it. She was on her side barely moving when I opened the box, thinking she might warm up I layed her on the substrate under the heat light but she passed a few hours later. I'll get pictures up soon. =)
I wanted to try my hand at breeding. I've taken care of different species of chameleons before but am really interested in having my own brevs and I'm really micromanaging myself right now. ^_^ You're probably right about my jumping in a bit fast.
I'm actually going to trry and get gravid wc specimens from flchams. I looked around and could only find that site in stock and optional gender. I suppose the babies will count aws cb so I thought I'd pull some of them to breed too. They usually start breeding around 3-4 months right?
Unfortunately not today because I had a problem with my credit card at lllreptile so I'm not exactly sure when I'm going to order my little fellers. I should recieve my order from lllreptile by friday now. I will post pics as soon as I get my brevs. I'll take pics as I'm opening my package so...
I was thinking about that and wondering if I would need to mist anyway. I'll stick to misting for now but if I can't keep my humidity up I'll buy the foggers. I just set up my lights and hygrometer/temperature guages today and am still waiting on a couple of things to get here. I'm so excited...

Would this fogger be beneficial to...
I've noticed a couple of green colored males, is that something that can be bred into my breeding stock or is it random? Also, could anyone point me in the direction of genetics for r. brevicaudatus? I'm sort of a biology freak. ^_^ Thanks!
Awwa, that's so cute. =) Thank you for helping me get started, I can't wait to order my little guys and get everything set up. I'm still waiting on my Hydroton clay balls to get here so I can set up my habitats. ^_^
So I leave them in the vermiculite until the yolk sac is gone? Thank you very much! You've been so helpful. How long have you been breeding these cute little fellows? =)
Thank you very much!
Now, when they are still in their yolk sac do I transfer them from the incubator straight to the set up I have for them or do I leave them in the incubator until the yolk sac is gone?
It looks like I'm ordering my babies Wednesday if everything goes as planned. I'm still waiting on my hydroton clay balls to get here and then I can set up my enclosures. Eek! I'm so excited! I've wanted chameleons every since I was a little girl and studied studied studied different species...
They won't let me choose the gender there either. Looks like I may have to get wc. Any other places you guys might know of? And thank you guys so much for responding so fast. =)
Thank you I may buy from there but I would prefer to be able to sex because I want to breed and don't want them to kill each other if I get a group of males. lol Thank you though, I appreciate it.
Do any of you guys know where I could get healthy captive bred brevs other than flchams? I'm not sure if they will have cb in by the time I buy them and want to be prepared to look elsewhere. Thank you!
