T. montium I kept a long time ago. Just found some old photos.

Beautiful coloration! I'd like to get my hands on some cb or ch if anyone bought some from the recent shipment. They seemed really beat up that why i didn't get any wc.
Did you have a large group back when you had them?

Thanks for the comment. Montium were one of the most available and affordable species back then. They were considered an entry level chameleon so I didn't go out of my way to breed them in significant numbers because you could get full grown WC for $35 ea.

I learned my lesson with that so when I got back into chameleons from my hiatus, I focused on some of the species that were easily available like K. multituberculata knowing that that would change just like what happened with T. montium and T. quadricornis. So while everyone else is focused on the rarer more expensive species, I'm working with the ones people take for granted.

I have always loved the montane chams. At some point we won't be able to get any chams, I don't see them doing well in their home countries so everyone that can should be working with the ones they love to try and establish solid breeding groups here. Keep up the great work.

Mike,

You're a soul not unlike my own.

I'm looking forward to seeing more pics of the species you've kept previously! I will keep looking for you threads to pop up as you find more pics.
Hasn't k. multituberculata been listed as endangered? I remember when seeco was still active, he had a large breeding program.

Then there are people that endorse importing endangered species with no apparent conservation of their native habitat going on at all.

Those pics are few and far between I'm afraid.
