Anyone have or remember the article saying...veiled females must mate at first cycle or die?

WHA‽
The closest I can find is citations of an article entitled, Veiled Chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus) Natural History, Captive Management, and Breeding by a JM Annis. Could that be it?
Can't find the actual article though.

I'd say that has been proved wrong by now.
Fun fact: There is a condition in Guinea Pigs where older females shouldn't be bred unless they have had previous litters in their youth or their pelvic canal will not be wide enough. If you don't breed by 7 months of age then don't breed.

It was proven wrong LONG LONG ago...I was just looking for some information that was in it.
It took so long to get that information to be considered a myth not a fact.

If you do locate it, I'd be curious to take a look. Sounds like something decades old, BICBW.

I've been keeping chameleons around 13-14 years, and can remember this as some of the first info I learned. I don't have the article, unfortunately, but it was part of the commonly passed around information. I do remember though that it was being disproved back then. It's interesting to see some of the widely held beliefs be debunked over time as our knowledge and experience base expands.
I'm now dying to read this article. Someone must find it.
I was working in fairly active exotics and mixed practices that saw reptiles, mostly iguanas, turtles, tortoises and the occasional Jackson's chameleon in the late 80's and 90's and I never heard anything like this. They just weren't around yet.

I'm not familiar with ADCHAM. If it was web-based, you might try the Wayback Machine.
Some of it comes up on the Wayback Machine.
ADDHAM was one of the original chameleon forums years ago...
Some of us are now on this forum/site...
http://www.adcham.com
Let's see how many will admit it and say they used to post on ADCHAM! Anyone?

Well... that was... strange.
I couldn't find a forum on that site—just references to a (now defunct?) Listserv.And what's up with all the malapropos embedded phrases that take you off to some completely unrelated camping equipment site?

That happens often when I try to go to the old ADCHAM!
