Hi everyone..

I am sorry to write in english, bit I dont speak one single french word.

if you have troubles, try this: http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr or maybe citronbleu or someone else can translate that into french?

I currently working on a statistics showing size and weight of our chameleons and if there is an assotiaton. This is, because many times I see newbies asking "is my chameleon too small/big" and they are often unsure how much food they can offer their animals.

So if I can get as many data from you as possible, I can probably show how many gramme a e.g. 20cm Furcifer pardalis usually has. And if your chameleon is more a "big one" or more a slim one.. So you can consider if your feeding is ok or too much.

If as many of you can provide their datas regarding:
length (nose to tailtag) in connexion with its weight (in gramme) and age.
Of course I need the type of chameleon and the sex.

For example
Furcifer pardalis,male, 16 month old, 42cm , 160 gramm, captive breed (there seem to be a big difference between captive breed and wildcaught chameleons as far as I can say so far)

(I saw some of your data already in the gallery-thread)

thanks a lot

Hi Marcus

nice to see you here.

I think there is no matter about your English, most of our members will understand it and will be able to answer you in the same way.

I welcome your judicious initiative. This type of statistics will interest everyone, even experienced cameleon keepers.

I hope the members of Tanalahy will transmit their datas to you.
I will complete ours as soon as possible.

Just one question : would you like to have datas only for the panther cameleons or some further species?

kind regards

[fredco]

it's for different species, isn't it ?

[MrCus]

its for every type of Chameleons.

As soon as I have enough data of a specific species I will post the result here.

For Panther I am nearly ready. .. just about 50 more.
For Jemen I still need about 70-80.

No matter what age.. every kind of data is important.

All other chameleonspecies are welcome, but it will take more time to get enough data for them.

@moderator : can you change the thread-name to a better phrase.. there were not enough space to write the whole phrase
