I have one Male Jacksons.
I will be very interested in my next cham's parents. I buy only from breeders.
I got him about 10 months ago.

Carlton Nov 19, 2003 04:15 PM

1. I currently have only 1 cham, a male cb B. fischeri fischeri.
2. If I was planning to breed I would definitely need to know the parents, or at least to know how closely related my bloodlines were so I could select genetically different mating pairs.
3. I do not breed. I mostly work with rescues and individuals. Finding homes I like for babies would be very hard.
4. N/A
5. My first cham was a veiled back in 1994. Since then I've kept jacksoni, oustaleti, verrucosus, fischeri multituberculatum and fischeri fischeri, deremensis, melleri, and cristatus.

4. if so, how many clutches do you usualy have a year?

5. in what year did you get your first chameleon?

>>3. do you breed your chameleons?
>>yes
>>4. if so, how many clutches do you usualy have a year?
>>3 per female. Any more reduces their life span. After 2 years we retire them. We currently have retired females that are close to 5 years old.

-Yep

4. if so, how many clutches do you usualy have a year?
-In the last year I've had 10 clutches laid.

-I have two chams

-Yes, the parents (bloodlines) matter to me

-Yes...I plan to breed

-No clutches yet as my chams are too young

-(can't remember question #5 as I have lost too many brain cells)...Oh wait...I remember now: I got my first two chams approximately 6 months ago.

I currently, have six chameleons

2.2 Quadricornis
1.0 Ambanja
0.1 Deremensis

I have successfully breed my Quads. 1.1 are 2nd generation cbb this February, the mother was cbb three years ago, and the male was purchased from Reptile Depot approximately two years ago.

In the future I would like to breed my other chameleons once my brother's female Ambanja's mature and when I buy a male Deremensis.

Purchased my first chameleon in 1992, it was a Senegal Chameleon. In the mid 90's a local pet store had a Parson's, they were selling it for $125 dollars. It died at the pet store a month later. I was able to hold the chameleon which was a male. It was awesome, I digress.
