werneri breeding

[Motherlode Chameleon]

Unfortunately it will not happen ...

This will never be a popular species in high demand so even just a few people can breed them each year and it will help.

I was going to buy a pair except the store only had one female left. I want to work with this species and a breeding program is a go with me.

Great to see you posting again Benny.

In your opinion (Carl) are these a good species to work with? I've seen them for sale, and have considered to try them. But lack of information held me back.

I find them easy to care for but that is because the room I have dedicated to chameleons fits their needs. Cool temps and moderate to high humidity are a must or they just disappear into the dense foliage.

Beautiful animals, great pictures, congrats!

Gotta love lobes and horns! One of my favorite species. The female is just so cool!

If i could provide the low temps they need in i would probably have a pair of werneri and quads! i love the flaps on their neck when they're mad, thanks for sharing! good luck with any future babies!

Wow, they remind me of a dinosaur genus triceratops. They are one of my favorite dinosaurs. Your chams look awesome! Even when gravid!

Nice man, that is awesome!

What awesome squamation. Congratulations on getting them to breed. Best of luck with their young. A very neat and unappreciated species.

Any updates?

Both females are definitely gravid. I'm expecting a 9 month gestation so should hopefully see babies around january. Judging by their size they should be average size clutch's.

All of the babies these girls dropped in august are doing awesome.

These are such a lovely underrated chameleon. They are just cool. And they do fit nicely into my montane room.

By far my favourite species. If I could only get my female to accept the male I'd be in heaven.

I'm thinking you'll see them in your montane room soon.

By far my favourite species. If I could only get my female to accept the male I'd be in heaven.

I'd be willing to bet she is already gravid. I'd love to see some pictures of your pair.

Thanks. I'm not sure if she is because they were imported this spring and the guy I got them from said she laid a clutch three weeks before I picked her up, and they were housed separately. She hasn't mated since then, so unless she is retaining sperm I don't think she is....Who knows with these wild caught chams though. I really hope she will give me some babies though.
