Hong

Hong is the most astonishing Red Body Blue Bar (RBBB) Ambilobe Panther Chameleon I have seen in person. His colors are velvety smooth. He has a deep red body and beautiful sky blue bars. Ryan Roberson produced him with his WC Ambilobe named Snoop Dog and a female from Brenton Schappel’s WC Ambilobe over at Chameleons by Design. Achieving that look at the F1 generation with an F1 female is unheard of - absolutely amazing work by Ryan here.

Taiyang (WC)

Imported by One World Exotica in October 2023. WC Taiyang and WC Haiyang are two of my favorite wild caught imports; Taiyang means sun in Chinese because he has a ton of yellow w/ a little mix of orange like the sun, and Haiyang means sea/ocean in Chinese. Haiyang’s blue bars are really something for a WC, so we have the sun (Taiyang) and the sea (Haiyang). They both came in great condition, and I hope to be working with them for years to come.

Haiyang (WC) | Ambilobe Panther Chameleon

Imported by One World Exotica in October 2023. Our Wild-caught Ambilobe Panther, Haiyang, came in with some face injuries which make him less likely to get the glam shots on social media; however, we are incredibly happy with him from a genetics and breeding standpoint. His blue bars are the best of all of our WC imports from One World Exotica and his body is very nice as well - green/yellow and only some very sparse red/orange markings.

Izao

Izao has some absolutely phenomenal red body blue bar lineage. We produced her with our boy Kosmo and our female from Nature’s Van Gogh we named Mainty. Although a decent number of her brothers ended up rainbow vs rbbb, we hope we can hit the jackpot on her and Hong. Time will tell! Izao | Ambilobe Panther Chameleon Filial Unknown Sire Kosmo Dam Mainty 5 Generation Tree Ancestral Report for Izao Generation 1 1.

WC Bibi x Mamony

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.

Parasites and Ethics - Coccidia Found in Furcifer pardalis

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 (FigureĀ 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.
