NOSEY BE
Furcifer pardalis
Scroll to the bottom for care information and hatchlings available
NEPTUNE was born in April 09 and has been with us since he was 3 months old. He was bred by Lee Warren at Millenium reptiles and his quality shows. Neptune is the young stud of the family, revealing amazing colours. Neptune is a placid boy and he is so colourful he looks like is fired up all the time! He has recently shown some interest in Seren, so we are hoping for mating very soon in the future.
SEREN joined our family the same time as Neptune when she was 5 months old. Seren was also bred by Lee Warren, though she has different parentage to Neptune. Seren has amazing colours for a female, and is always peachy pink but she can be very shy.
Both our Nosey Be's are from one of the last lines bred from Millenium Reptiles and their quality really shows. We are very proud to own these and hope to continue Lee's good work :)

|
Recommended for wellbeing and natural behaviour.
Most good UV-B bulbs also provide UV-A
|
|
Temperature
|
75F and 80F (24C and 28C) during the day and similar at night
|
|
Basking site
|
Yes - 90F (32C) for adults
Babies - a small 20W desk light will provide a light spot without too much extra heat since babies prefer it cooler until 4 months.
ALL bulbs (UV and heat)should be behind a screen covering to prevent the chameleon touching the bulb.
|
|
Humidity
|
Adults and hatchlings 2-3 times daily misting will encourage the chameleon to drink but allow to dry out between sprays to avoid stagnant water.
|
|
Ventilation
|
Very important. To create good airflow place large vent panels at the bottom and top of the vivarium. Mesh vivariums or adapted wooden vivariums work well.
