Small Chameleon species what’s your favorite

[Chase]

My favorite pygmy species is Rieppeleon kerstenii.

My favorite smaller species is either Calumma nasutum or Calumma linotum

Calumma nasutum or Calumma linotum

Oh yes, these guys have the most unique faces with their long and pronounced rostal.

will require some experience with wild caught specimens. I wouldn’t take them on as a first wild caught.

I was looking into them a few years ago on this thread, some great info there

Did you take the plunge and start keeping them?

No, wasn’t ready yet. I’d like to start with carpets first, then bug the crap out of all reputable jeweled breeders and keepers and such until they block me, then possibly jump in after being super prepared

Sounds like a great plan. I like to be very prepared before taking the plunge as well.

View attachment 289649View attachment 289653Sorry, late to the party. I love the T. hoehnelii, but I'm biased. Got to say the willsii are wonderful too. I keep hoehnelii in pairs.

Hoehnelii are my favorites as well!

Brookesia and Rieppeleon are my favorite of the micro chameleons.

I love Jox's Willsii and also @snitz427 has Kinyongia Boehmei and her babies are pretty darn precious. Both of them have ones that I literally never heard about prior to them getting them.

Yes! I say that I LOVE my veiled but I am IN LOVE with the boehmei. He runs (I mean he sprints) over for food, and looks up with little puppy eyes.

I LOVE your boehmei, too!
