Venus. VENUS has been with our family since January 2009 and she was 3 months old when she joined us. Venus is F1 as her parents were wild caught. This is noticeable in her colours and size. Venus is currently 180g and is fed on a variety of Crickets, Hoppers, Roaches and Wax Worms. Venus also loves her vegetables and will eat them right out of our hands if given a chance. Venus was mated to Cosmos in September 2009 and laid her first clutch in October 2009. Venus is a pleasure to own and is the sweetest natured chameleon you will ever come across. She really is our pride and joy.

Cosmos. COSMOS joined our family in March 2009, when he was 5 Months old. Like Venus, Cosmos also has wild caught parents, making him F1. Cosmos has 4 noticeable yellow bands where as most captive breed male yemens may only have 2 or 3 bands. Cosmos is around 154g but he is still steadily growing and loves his food. Cosmos is fed on Crickets, Hoppers and Roaches and loves his fresh vegetables. He has a cheeky nature and often bangs on the glass to come out and say hello.

OFF SPRING

Venus and Cosmos mated in September 09. As they are both F1s from different wild caught parents, the hatchlings will be F2 generation and we have high hopes for these being fantastic looking yemens with standard as close to wild specimens as possible.
