Hi there:
Yesterday after losing the male, I found the female dead as well in the tunnel in which she had laid her eggs. I only had them around 4 months, but they were really cool and amazing critters that I will never forget. They now share the same resting place. She was really huge when she died.
Anyway, on a lighter note, I moved all four healthy babies into the enclosure that the adults were in. It's awesome! Picture 4 teeny tiny baby chameleons around half the size of a dime crwling through a 10-gallon high atop enormous intertwined branches forming jungle gyms, live growing fiscus, slanted slabs of cork bark and stones, flourishing pothos, lots of twigs, artificial fan palms, small live trees and lots of other artificial plants. The escape-proof tank also has potting soil, charcoal, drainage and dead leaves.
It is kept cool, moderately light, and quite humid. It must be hundreds of feet up and down for these little guys. The mesh is also too small for the small food items to escape. I feel so happy..

These were the dwarf chams right? I heard they really do not live very long. The babies are so so cute it makes me want one.
