I am reading up on these, there are some pretty interesting articles that include many species of Bradypodion...all of which are beautiful in some way or another. They have completely different needs than a panther or a veiled but it does not look any more "difficult". Hopefully some of the members that keep them will respond.

I would be interested, at some point, with a little more info on their care...but I dont know if I could do a pair at $400ea...:eek::eek: totally worth it though, they are gorgeous! And after what I was reading it seems if we want to keep seeing these little guys we better get to working with them!

^I understand their care is different from the commonly kept chameleons but I was also wondering the same thing...are they easy to care along with another good first time montage species.:)

Believe it or not, and Im sure most wont BUT, when he is outside these are his calm colors!!! he just puffed up when I stuck my phone in his face:) When he is inside he is a little less intense but still shows gorgeous coloration and lots of contrast.
Females get the size of a female carpet(F.lateralis) and males are a bit smaller. The females have what I like to call "easter" colors, they have a yellow body with lavender, green and pink mixed in. The coolest thing about these guys besides their colors is their scalation and the gular lobes.
All Bradypodion are considered a dwarf species, which is why they are all grouped together as "south african dwarfs". But this doesnt mean they are shy, timid little creatures:) they have bold personalities! as you can see.

I will need PM's from each individual who is 200% in on this group buy. No single animals will be available, only pairs. Then again, why would you want just a single animals when you could breed them? This is a very unique and rare opportunity to own chameleons of this Genus and to get cb populations going here in the states.

Prices are as follows...

B. transvaalense (species pictured) $800/pr.
B. thamnobates $8-900/pr.
B. pumilum $1500/pr.
B. damaranum $1500/pr.
B. setaroi, waiting on price.
 
heres a pic of my female...she is about half the size of a full grown female.

i would love a pair as well and i will pay if they end up in canada someone pm me an if this happens or someone knows where in canada i can find them if that is possible?!!
 
Showjet- In Chris Anderson/Steven Deckers article you posted (excellent article btw) It mention there are multiple morphs(or locales, whichever) Of B. Transvaalsense. Do you know which yours is, and if the same or others will be available? Or do you know of any more information regarding the other morphs?
 
on my top 3 favorite chameleons for sure.. I wish i had the money and space for a pair. ya'll need to get serious and get them in though. It'd be sweet to see some breeding projects going on.

Thanks for the pictures.. But we need some more :)

Price really depends on how many animals I bring in and how many people participate. Exact prices wont be set until I know exactly how many animals people want and how many my source can send.

Im hoping to be able to import something in the fall time. Its only one person who I get the animals from so it also depends what species has recently dropped clutches etc.

Where was all the interest when I offered setaroi or posted about thamnobates and transvaalense a few months back:confused:
 
I must have missed that Jared, I would have been interested... I only remember the Borahas.. Which idk how people wouldnt be interested for the price, being how everyone LOVES panthers..

Hopefully those who say they are serious this time really are and an import is likely to happen. What species? It just depends on what my source has available at the time.

I did a google search for transvaalense sales and your for sale post from last year came up.. Big Homer Simpson Doh with a slap to the face!!!! I would have been all over that if I knew about them back then..

The transvaalense are the woodbush locale. The thamnobates are the nottingham road locale.

Btw, if you have the Colin Tilbury book of Chameleons of Africa you can see just how amazing the thamnobates can be, also Chris Anderson has some amazing photos of them in the thread of his trip to South Africa.
