A great discussion with Sean McNeeley where we cover: my history in the hobby individually raising Panther Chameleons the impact of husbandry on polygenic traits show strategies to grow the industry and improve outcomes for customers
Lamba is a great YBBB female we produced with Arti and Lilly in the 5th generation of our YBBB project. This group was one of my favorite 5th gen combos and has the potential to throw some of the best yellow bodies anywhere in the world. We are extremely excited to see what Lamba’s sons look like. It should be very easy to pick them out around 3-4 months old with their neon yellows!
This pairing is a great F1 group with WC Bibi paired to our 4th gen female named Mamony from Blossom x Maitso. Our hope is that the strong blues on the female side of this lineage will help clean up the mixed bar look of WC Bibi and he’ll bring some size and fresh genetics into the mix. WC Bibi’s yellows are very interesting and slightly different from Blossom’s, so it will also be interesting to watch these animals as they mature.
Executive Summary Coccidia Basics Structure Life Cycle Known Species Isospora brygooi Choleoeimeria glawi Eimeria vencesi Discussion Reference TL;DR This article examines three of species of Coccidia which are known to infect Furcifer pardalis and poses a theory that Choleoeimeria glawi (Figure 3) are more likely to cause serious illness based on extant literature and our experience. More clinical research is warranted because we are not specialists in parasitology or veterinary microbiology, and we did not attempt to bifurcate our clinical results by Coccidia species.
This pairing was the only successful clutch with Wild-caught (WC) Dia. We paired him to our 5th gen Ambilobe female named Vaosary from Papafee x Lokana. Vaosary was a stand out female with a lot of orange from one of my favorite 5th gen groups. Because of how rare this line will be, they are a great option for breeders looking for high-quality foundation animals at the F1 generation. Really love that we got some WC Dia and Papafee clones in the mix here - very cool stuff!
This pairing was between our 5th gen male named Jimanga from Manga x Imelda, and a 5th gen female named Bumble Bee from Papafee x Lokana. This is the combination of two of our favorite lines and the culmination of years of selective breeding for yellow body blue bar traits. If they don’t prove out, we have no one to blame but ourselves! ;) Hatch dates 6/28/23 - 7/10/23 Hatch rate 23/26 M1 | Ambilobe Panther Chameleon
Great discussion with Amanda & Lee Ready of Ready’s Rainforest, The Reptile Gumbo Podcast, and Dr. Rob Coke DVM about egg sales and other random ideas that popped into our heads. We planned on discussing Ethics The impact of egg sales on the community Why we chose not to sell eggs This was a great show with 2 chameleon breeders and a top reptile veterinarian. Podcast link: Chameleon Chronicles: Ethics
We have taken a strong public stance against chameleon eggs for sale. This post will summarize our points and provide a source of information on our work on this topic. If you have seen us on Facebook or another forum fighting the good fight, this is why. Chameleons are not easy reptiles to keep in captivity. They are arboreal species with specific conditions which require constant maintenance. It can be automated to some degree and people who have experience can reach a point where it is second nature to them; however, the average person will struggle, even with an adult.
Sugar looks very similar to her dam, Mara. Her deep purple cheeks are what caught my eye and convinced me to keep her. Many of her brothers had more of a yellow body mixed bar look, so we did not breed many of them. However, for genetic diversity, we decided to take a chance on her!

This is a discussion about whether breeders should get a pass for poor husbandry. We know that the practical constraints of breeding animals for a profit yields a compromising attitude towards husbandry. I believe it should be uncompromising, and I am happy to hold myself to the same standards as my customers. Bill is a leader in this movement and I hope we can encourage more breeders to commit to higher standards of care.
