Hello

Got a question for anyone who has worked with this animal. I have just obtained 3 specimens, a male and two females. Both females are gravid. I am getting some conflicting information so I hope someone with experience can clear it up.

According to a friend of mine, this species likes lower temps. 73-77 F with the eggs being kept at 73 F constantly.

But according to Jobi on this site, the Gonocephalus chameleontinus he kept and bred need a temperature change from daytime 85-90 F and nighttime 75 F, with the same daily variation for the eggs.

Right now they are being kept at about 80-85 F, and I have noticed two of them descend to the ground away from the lamp, perhaps because they prefer the lower temps.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. It would be a shame to lose the eggs just because I used the wrong temps.

Thanks for any help,

Michael
