Thought I'd share some pics of my collection. I limited it to a photo of each species for those of you still on dialup.
This is my juvenile female Calumma p. parsonii. She's a fat little thing with beautiful blue coloration:
This is a female Kinyongia tenue (previously Bradypodion tenue - article to explain change in next E-Zine issue to be released in a week or two). These are a truly amazing and beautiful species:
This is a male Kinyongia fischeri sub.spec.nov. There is a paper in press reviewing the fischeri complex and I expect this subspecies will be formally described in it.
This is a female Kinyongia f. fischeri finishing up a shed. The largest of the Fischer's subspecies, they have incredibly long tails:
This is a juvenile male Kinyongia fischeri multituberculatum. I love the dorsal crest at this age:
This is an adult male Kinyongia uthmoelleri. Great coloration in these guys!:
This is a male Chamaeleo (Trioceros) tempeli. This species is ovoviviparous and has a double gular crest:
This is a male Chamaeleo (Trioceros) hoehnelii. This has always been a favorite species of mine:
This is a nice subadult CB Chamaeleo (Trioceros) melleri. She's changed coloration quite a bit as she's grown and is an impressive animal now:
This is a male Furcifer cephalolepis. I currently have him for sale but am thinking I might hold onto him. Cool little chameleon:
This is a male Rhampholeon spinosum (I actually sold this particular specimen but its the best pic I'd ever gotten of this species and its a good representation of those I still have). Talk about a difficult species to photograph and incredible color and morphology:
This is a female Rhampholeon (Rhampholeon) spectrum:
This is a young male Rhampholeon (Rhampholeon) temporalis. Cute little CB with some nice green coloration:
This is a CB female Rieppeleon brevicaudatus:
This is a nice male Brookesia thieli. This species is a lot less active then a lot of other members of this genus but I still enjoy them. This male was playing dead after I picked him up:
This is a juvenile female Brookesia superciliaris. These guys are really interesting!:
Hope you all enjoyed the pics!

Fantastic collection,
I love the parsons, spinosum and of course - the firm favourite - brevicaudatus  _________________

That is one incredibly interesting collection of Chameleons Chris. I particularly like the camouflage of the Rhampholeon spinosum .  _________________ YSBRYDOLI POBL, GWELLA LLEOEDD

Great pics Chris, what camera are you using? I particularly like all of the chams. The parsons is a stunner, the Mellor one of my favourites, the Tempeli very unusual and stunning in its own right, the spinosum for some odd reason makes me think of Theloderma Corticales, I think its the camouflage and irregular outlines.
How are you keeping your parsons, have you managed to breed any parsons Chris?
Also how are you keeping the hoehnelii please. Thanks. _________________ www.rickslivefood.co.uk

Stunning pics and gorgeous chams as always Chris
I am also interested in how you keep your Hoehnelii's - do you breed them at all? |
