For those of you that haven't seen Roxy before, yes she has a bad mouth. She was operated on by Dr.Mader due to a bad mouth infection from the previous owner. She will look like that the rest of her life according to the Dr. Other than the cosmetic flaw, she eats and drinks normally.

It's rainy and cool here today so nobody was at their best. However I know some folks wanted to see the new ones and I threw in some of the old ones for fun.

Looking good! Looking forward to updates. Good luck with them all!

They look really good. I'm looking forward to seeing more photos of the oshaughnessyi once they've settled. Definitely an impressive species!

In terms of colors they are prettier than Parsons, to me at least

I generally keep them outside, weather permitting. I gut load discoid roaches and superworms. Then I'll throw in silkworms and horn worms from time to time. They seem to run hot and cold on silks and horns. Some days they can't get enough and some days they won't touch them. I have often wondered if it's not some sort of imprinting that they only like them when the corresponding season would produce them in nature. However I haven't really studied it much just an idea that popped into my head one day when they wouldn't eat them. It could be nothing more than food boredom.

As for temps and humidity I run a mister eight times a day when we are at peak summer temps in south Florida. Varying run times from five minutes to an hour. They stop running two hours before sunset to be sure it dries so that there is a humidity drop at night.

I am far from am expert at any of this and what I have found is everyone needs to run their own environments based on how they are keeping the animals, indoors vs outdoors, dry vs humid. You really can't copy somebody else's setting and make them work for you unless you are in the same area.

When I keep them inside I have to change it due to the air conditioning creating a drier environment. Plus I have to deal with all the water lol

Congrats on your new chameleons.

Everyone is looking good. Glad to see that Roxanne is still doing well.

You and Mike will have to stop by when I get back.

Does that bad mouth affect her eating at all?

Not in the least. She is just not a fan of me since I am the one who had to clean it out everyday after her surgery.

Are malthe supposed to be difficult to breed like parsonii and oshaughnessyi?

You have me there, they were a bit of an impulse buy on my part, time will tell. Not sure if the pair I have are fully grown as they are smaller than another pair that was there.

I have had some Orange eyes for a bit over a year but the O'Shaughnessy's are really stunning in person and looked great for being imported and held for 36 hours by customs. Everyone is eating and drinking well. For those that have wanted Parsons but didn't have the space for them, the O's are the way to go. The color variation is outstanding as well.
