on and off pardon the pun. yes they have, long gestation for the female. Hard to tell if she is gravid or not, sometimes she looks as though she may be other times I am not so sure. I shall put a huge nest box in anyway, I have a large plastic tub that will do the job. about two feet long by 18 inches wide, should be big enough for her, then fingers crossed! Laughing

From nose to tip of tail 22 inches approx, I measured them the other day. Big ole beasties, lovely temperament though very gentle.

are the mellors chameleons the hardest to look after out of all the chameleon species ?

Probably not, there are so many
something like Brookesia minima would be more delicate.

However it is 'difficult' compared to the ones in the pet trade.
