From 05 to 07 May 2023<\/strong>, the annual meeting of the AG Cham\u00e4leons once again took place in Boppard<\/a> am<\/a> Rhein<\/a>. Traditionally, the chameleon friends who had already arrived on Friday met at the Italian restaurant in the Rheinallee for a cosy dinner. After the location had changed owners and names several times in the past years, it is now called “Castello<\/a> da<\/a> Toni<\/a>” again, as it was many years ago. An exchange of experiences and many exciting conversations heralded the conference.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning started with a classic keeping and breeding session in front of almost 50 chameleon lovers who turned up. Jean-Dominique<\/a> Dufraine<\/a> gave a talk on two species that he has been keeping and breeding successfully for several years. Rieppeleon<\/em><\/a> brevicaudatus<\/em><\/a>, a terrestrial chameleon that seems to have been somewhat forgotten in herpetoculture in recent years, but which is a lot of fun to keep, will hopefully get a new chance to reappear in German terrariums in the future. The Seychelle’s Chameleon Archaius<\/em><\/a> tigris<\/em><\/a> is also small, but a species with interesting behaviour that can be kept in groups. Thorsten<\/a> Negro<\/a> then reported on his recent trip to Madagascar, where he went in search of the various Parson’s<\/a> Chameleons<\/a> of the red island. A special target was the “green<\/a> giant<\/a>“, the colour variant of the Parson’s Chameleon in the rainforest of Masoala, which had hardly been documented until then.<\/p>\n\n\n
