For a wild caught chameleon purchased in a store or from an importer, their journey started with an exporter in their native country. And this is the leg least visible to us at the other end. Today I am talking with Euan Edwards who is a world traveling reptile lover who was also a chameleon exporter in Madagascar.

Ep 53: Keeping Chameleon in Glass Terrariums with Dr. Chris Anderson Jan 06, 2017

Show notes

Welcome back to season 2 of the Chameleon Breeder Podcast! We are going to kick off the new season with an episode about keeping chameleons in glass terrariums. Glass has gotten an undeserving black mark in the chameleon community. Dr. Chris Anderson keeps chameleons in glass terrariums exclusively in both his lab and personal collection. He comes on and tells us how to determine if a glass terrarium is right for your conditions and, if so, how to go about setting up a chameleon enclosure which retains both heat and humidity.

Ep 52: Season Finale 2016! Dec 02, 2016

Show notes

Welcome, chameleon wranglers, to episode 52 of the Chameleon Breeder Podcast. Can you believe it has been a year already? This episode marks our first birthday! Reptile podcasts had been tried before and some went for a pretty good run, but never did we have one just for our chameleons. I am happy to say that we represented in a big way. We have been able to provide a repository for information that can be studied in a whole new way – while you're driving or doing chores! Just looking back on all we have done we have had tutorials and interviews on husbandry. We have travelled to places where chameleons run free with our Chameleon Adventurers series and with the new Outer Fringes episodes we explore other reptiles, amphibians, and anything else that might interest a chameleon enthusiast!

The podcast has grown from just available online at www.chameleonbreeder.com and iTunes via podcast playing apps to having a dedicated iPhone/iPad app and being carried by iHeartRADIO.

So this is where we go from here. This will be the season finale and I am going to take the month of December to be with family and to begin work on Season 2 which will start on January 6, 2017.

Ep 49: Superworms Nov 04, 2016

Show notes

This week we talk about breeding superworms for chameleon food. The is a timely subject as the Northern latitudes are heading into winter snow storms and for some of us, it is a good idea to start raising our own feeders just in case the mail delivery service is not able to reach you. Having your own back up feeder supply is a great idea for this time of year!

But even if you are not in danger of being snowed in, raising your own feeder is a great way of controlling the nutrition that your chameleon gets. Superworms are the perfect feeder to work with because they are easy to breed and raise up. They also are one of the few feeders that can, at different times during their lifecycle, feed anything from baby chameleons to adult parson's chameleons! So Superworms are a versatile feeder as well as being easy!
