The colours are just fantastic! Are they easy to look after?

Thanks,This species of chameleon is a montane chameleon from cameroon and west africa
Enjoying humid,cool,high-altitude forests.Feeding on all the normal prey insects and also enjoys small snails and woodlice
Mine are WC and im having a very good time keeping them so im not gonna grumble about them and my female laid 17 large good eggs a while back .
I am finding them easy to keep,but one thing i would say as being essential is a good watering system,i use a misting system and a constant drip system and feel this has been a great aid in keeping them.
This species is prone to vitamin overdoseing so go easy on your supplements and vit d3,also there metabolism is alot slower then say a panther due to the lower temps they a kept at so there need for calcium is reduced quite a bit  |

Oh god right this second my girl is covering another clucth of eggs and these are from the one mating i have already had 17 eggs and she has just produced some more not sure how many,and im a bit pissed off as i did not mate her and did not intend to breed her until next year  she looks really tired,poor girl...drippers are on,food is in so im sure she will recover well. |

She laid another 17!  i took a picture and you can see a big difference in size the first lot have been in incubation for 2.5 months so i dont think its gonna be too long before they pop,sadly i dont know why,i lost 2 eggs from the first lot all the rest look great so we will see if it works out with them |

Fingers crossed, would love to see pics of them hatching, and of course some CB specimens to be around. Do you think the colouration will be faded in comparision with WC animals?

Thanks,I don't think the colours will be faded at all these eggs are from WC animals so the offspring will be a fresh new uk bloodine for any other keepers of these
Would love to see some pic's of another keepers quad,but you don't really see any  |
