Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi i have to baby Taveta chameleons and im new into this hobby, i just need someone to give me some ideas in looking after these fasinating creatures, they are both 4 months of age and where 2 inches when i got them, they are eating well and love there tiny crickets and flightless fruit flies, is there any other things i can feed them?
Ive always wanted a chameleon since a young age and now i have 2 babys, and want to learn more about them, i got myself a book but it doesnt really help much, i just need someone out there with experience to give me advice please.

Thankyou

that might help. has about every cham there is. each profile gives a little about the care of the animal, habits, habitat temp/humidity, and breeding habits. some dont though, because they've been discovered 2 years ago or something like that.

hope this helps.

Hi Charma,

The only breeder that we know to keep Bradypodion tavetanum is Susan James. She posts on a forum that is on Yahoo, but she is so busy right now with her C. ellioti, that she rarely answers inquiry posts personally. The Yahoo group is called Chamfolk.

Then there is CRG Discussion forum. The Mease's import these chameleons, so I suspect you could get some good info from them. The link addy is: http://www.chamresearch.com/

Didn't you gather all the pertinent info on this species before you got them?? Seems like the sensible thing to do. *shrug*

Also... why did you pick a species that is so well know for it shyness for your fist chameleons? Or are these your first ones?

Read, read, read... grab some books; do searches on the web; get all the info you can. Good luck with your new babies..
