Any idea on locale

[Flick boy]

Sadly ( though I can only speculate) poor care the owner traded him in for a different reptile. The only thing we trade in is cars not our pets aka our family

 

[Flick boy]

All that was important is that some things can be transmitted through the air so a new chameleon IMHO should be in a different room than the rest of your critters.

Would a fecal test rule this out ??

 

[Flick boy]

See if we are talking (derma) or some type of fungal skin infection or something that could be transmitted from skin cells like salmonella

No...it's not a parasite I'm concerned about...it's spores or possibly a virus or bacteria.

Sorry for my stupidity @kinyonga but what has canv got to do with this cham ?

I don't know what else to say....but if you're going to bring a chameleon home I would quarantine it in a dIfferent room for several months before putting it in the same room with your other ones an be careful with your hygiene when working with them.

I believe she was saying to quarantine him because in the off chance he does have canv you don’t want it to spread to your female.

I think a fecal done and cleared before I would get him would be best

you need at least 2 or 3 clean fecal tests done a few weeks apart before it’s safe to put him near your other Cham. This would be better done not while he’s at a store out of your control.

Ok I thought you where mentioning cavn because someone said something about wild caught. But after a bit of reading this morning I understand. Thanks for your knowledge

 

[kinyonga]

You're welcome.

For the locale... possibly a nosy mitsio? Just from the red eye, green-yellow colouring. Could be Ambilobe, too...

 

[Flick boy]

What are the thoughts about breeding different locales together. My girl is supposed to be an ambilobe

 

[Flick boy]

You're welcome.

Are there any tests that can confirm or rule out cavn.

 

[Vinesar21]

I believe Nosy Mitsio too.
People get "upset" here mixing locales. Depending on your female genetics, you might get cool YBBB's

 

[Flick boy]

Not mixing (at present only asking) ybbbs ???

 

[Vinesar21]

I personally am not against mixing locales, top breeders do it too. Yellow Body Blue Bar

There is a test for CANV but the chameleon isn't showing any signs of it so IMHO there's no reason to do the test.....I was only bringing up the CANV, as I said before, to show you why it's important to quarantine them in a separate room when you get a new chameleon in your collection.

I don’t have much against mixing locales, especially those in geographically similar areas. (Correct me if I’m wrong) but they must occasionally interbreed in the wild, no?

To be honest I would prefer to breed pure lines myself as I used to breed purebred dogs.
