Looking for dwarf chameleons

uromastyx Jun 24, 2003 04:59 PM

I'm interest5ed in buying some dwarf chameleons (Brookesia or Rhampholeon), but I have just read a previous post and its says that Brookesia are now covered by CITES appendix 2, is this true? I 'm in England and there isn't any info on these species at all, any one with any good care sheets can you leave a post.

here are some sites with info:

http://www.adcham.com/html/taxonomy/taxonomy-map.html
http://www.chameleonnews.com/year2002/sept2002/brookesia/brookesia.html

I know there is at least one poster, Jamie (a.k.a corn_snake) lives in UK and he mentioned another forum there. He is here pretty often so maybe you can direct a post to him.

I have three R. brevicaudatus and adore them
Good Luck!

hey, i could recomend soem breeders for you. R. brevicaudatus (bearded pygmy cham) Been the most common about and there really sweet little critters, there are also R. temporalis (usambara pitted pygmy cham) which is also cute but mainly CB. as far as Brookesia go, there are not many, i was chatting ot Martin spicer and Rob from UK Chameleons the other day, They have some Brooksia Thieli and was just offered B. minima, but the didnt take them. Livefood.co.uk as a load of breeders on there, or Steve Gill is great, i bought a CB C. hoehnelii from him not so long back, but his stock its usally WC/CF. Steve from time to time gets Dwarf Jacksons chameleons, C. Merumontana, but there not Brook's or Rhamp's. Also he doesn't have any in at the moment, hope i helped. ooo and other one, Darren biggs, hes an Awsome chameleon seller, he also has Parsons chams in time to time, im not sure if he has much in at the moment, if i see him around, ill update you.
