Great pics Dr. O!
(Which camera are you using? Might be a field of view feature- mine has one)
Great looking little guys. You going to be putting them up for adoption?

By the way, I really like that last picture. Hope you will consider entering it in that photo contest.

thanks for the nice comments, everyone.
i have several cameras. these were all taken with my newest, a Panasonic Lumix FZ-150 with a 0.7 macro screw-on AND a 0.45 macro clip-on on top of that. all tripod, remote shutter, ISO 100, and ambient light. standard post-processing in iPhoto for basic adjustments. the vignetted shots were due to me being zoomed out and catching the lens borders.
LOL! sure, adoption plus a "gratis fee" for producing such fine red-bar amilobe's and perhaps some shipping. but we'll talk! looks like we'll get all surviving 33 from this hatch, 3 eggs died off in the first month. 16 out as of today, several pipping and will be out tomorrow.
i'm getting my act together for my website. i've got 200+ eggs incubating right now with a rolling hatch of every 4-8 weeks or so. red bar, blue-bar, sambavas, faly's, carpets, and a few select morphs of a high yellow red-bar to a high yellow Sambava.
so from now on, it's on!!!!
i will definitely be offering discounts to Cham Forum members forever, but i expect to sell quite a few through the reptile conventions that are every 1-2 months throughout Florida, and of course my website. and somewhere in the midst of this i need to start up my housecall reptile practice and do some part-time teaching at the BCC vet tech program.
the first year of cham breeding is like the honeymoon, but now the REAL work begins!!!

No worries. I tend to prefer the term 'adopt' over 'buy' when talking about animals and 'caretaker' over 'owner' Just a thing. The basic meaning of the question was the same
What are you using to develop the site? I am working on a new website myself, although not related to chams.

Are you scheduling any bathroom breaks?! I will be following your ascent into even greater greatness with much interest!

lol!! I'm not sure even I know which is my hobby or sub-hobby here........I'm a 3rd generation photographer but didn't stay in the family business since I went veterinary. and I really do appreciate the nice comments all around, but my "real" photography has allowed me to win some ribbons at shows and even have my work shown at a few galleries. I was planning on showing and selling prints at some art and craft shows around FL after we moved here last year, but I never had the time to put it together due to the chameleon hobby!
don't get me wrong, it's fun (and challenging) to take halfway decent photos of baby chams, but it's not my photographic niche! taking ultra-macro shots (in this thread, anyway) of a moving target is a world away from the more outdoor and abstract images that I've been having fun with for years.

That was an excellent video!! very professional, nice and steady, good pacing and cutting, no excesive use of zoom (Harry home video LOVES to play with the zoom!!), just all round pro quality!!
I think u could get a second job as a photographer or even a videographer
Another of your work gets saved to my private file
