Brookesia on display!

[javadi]

If you’re in the area, be sure to check out the Atlanta botanical gardens starting November to see a wonderful Pygmy chameleon on display, a captive bred brookesia stumpffi, produced by yours truly

These are uncommon in captivity as CBB but as awareness of them grows they have a better chance to become established. Small chameleons are amazing to keep and are something I’m quite passionate about. It’s exciting to think of the general public appreciating these remarkable creatures.

Exact animal pictured below.

That is awesome! Bringing attention to such fantastic creatures will also hopefully have positive repercussions towards helping to preserve their natural habitat.

How can you tell if it's a male or female?

How can you tell if it's a male or female?

Mature adult males will have a noticeable hemipenal bulge - at least in the most commonly available species like thieli, stumpffi, superciliaris, and therezieni. I've heard species like ebenaui might be a little trickier to sex. If you have pictures of animals that you would like to get sexed, create a new thread and tag me and javadi

Do you have any pics of the side? Viewing a side profile of the animal makes it a lot easier to see if there is a hemipenal bulge present or not.
