Giant chameleon talk

knight1 Aug 25, 2009 05:09 PM

I am in the reserach for an exotic giant cham, the one that has caught my eye was the Usambara giant 3 hirned cham. I would like to talk with people in this forum about this particular cham becuase as I know there are very few caresheets on this specific cham. Would an one know sourcs on where I cn get cb ones? well fl chams sometimes sells them but are they really realiable? are their stock cb? So then I look forward to a long and serious discussion on the Usambara 3 horned, if any one has other suggestions on other giant cham sepcies please tell me I am open for suggestions, if i see that the one you suggest fits me I just might go for that 1 even a giant 4 horned cham I would like to hear of And somebody please tell me what is the biggest cham in the world PERIOD?

oustalets are generally considered to be the largest, but its not neccessarily a case of the largest species,but more a case of the largest individual cham, one oustalets might be considerably larger than his brother, and the same is true of melleri or parsons, some times any species is subject to getting a larger than normal animal, but generally i would say oustelets, definitely not recomended for inexperienced keepers. anyone trying to keep such an animal, needs extensive cham knowledge , a stable living situation, and be willing and able to spend lots of cash. failure to provide any of the forementioned would most likely result in the demise of the animal.

First of all, how much experience have you had with chameleons? The Deremensis, Meller's and a number of other ones are not easy ones for a beginner to keep successfully in captivity....and I would only recommend them for some one with quite a bit of experience.
