Got more pygmy's!

[Scotty Allen]

Those Usambara's are nearly as cute as me aren't they Trace? Bet they'll gobble up all that calcium in ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, 1000 yrs?

Collide: I was afraid she was going to eat the smaller ones in that pic. She is IMMENSE, I can't get over it.

Wuntu: You could very well be right. Stranger things have happened in my life. Now I was always under the impression that the R. spectrum had a little rostral horn and were a little bulkier in shape than the brevs, kind of like the R. temporalis. I wish my Necas book got into a little more detail about the whole Rhampholeon genus. It doesn't show well in that pic, but the three smaller ones (juvies) definately have the typical brev beard and few of them are green in colour.

Drewlowe: You don't want to know! It's embaressing.

Meow: I hope some breeding happens... I've had success before with the brevs. That's the whole point in getting a big group of them.

BigPlaya: Actually you are right. The Brookesia and Rhampholeon genus of chameleons are commonly called leaf chameleons because well, that's what they look like! They are terrestrial species and hang about in the leaf litter.

Emily: If you stop posting pics of your lovely spiders, I'll stop posting pics of my chameleons.

Scotty: No, they will never be as cute as you because they don't WEAR FLAMING PANTS!

Cheers!

BigPlaya:
They likely were, as chams of the genus Rhampholeon go by many common names. Leaf, dead leaf, mossy leaf are just some of them. They wholesale for $25-$50 Cdn depending on sp, so the retail price usually isn't too bad. The trouble is that those WC's at the pet store are swimming in parasites and because of their tiny size, are almost impossible to treat properly.

The Pygmies in the first picture are definitely Rhampholean Brevicaudatus. This species has a very varying color and pattern range. The ones you have actually look to be from the Usambara mountain range of Tanzania. I import literally a thousand each year of R.Brevicaudatus, R.Temporalis, R.Uluguruensis, and a few others. Some locales of R.Brevicaudatus have green coloration but most of them range from Brown to Yellow in coloration. Just about all locales have the horizontal striping on their sides. The R.Temporalis,R.Uluguruensis and R.Spectrum have diagonal stripes on their sides. If anyone has any questions I would glad to answer them for you.

I am so jealous Trace! I have been looking for Brevi's forever (Well atleast the last year) and have had NO luck.
Nice critters.
