Blood smear from a wild-caught panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis).
A wild-caught male panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis, previously known as Chamaleo pardalis) imported from Madagascar and of unknown age was presented to the Avian and Exotic Animal Clinic of Lafayette with a complaint of anorexia.The chameleon’s diet consisted primarily of crickets, which the owner occasionally would dust with calcium supplement. Although physically vigorous, the patient wa...
متن کاملCharacterization of Metarhizium viride Mycosis in Veiled Chameleons (Chamaeleo calyptratus), Panther Chameleons (Furcifer pardalis), and Inland Bearded Dragons (Pogona vitticeps).
Metarhizium viride has been associated with fatal systemic mycoses in chameleons, but subsequent data on mycoses caused by this fungus in reptiles are lacking. The aim of this investigation was therefore to obtain information on the presence of M. viride in reptiles kept as pets in captivity and its association with clinical signs and pathological findings as well as improvement of diagnostic p...
متن کاملEffects of Artificial Ultraviolet Light Exposure on Reproductive Success of the Female Panther Chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) in Captivity
Having previously documented experimentally the need for ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation (290–315 nm) in the light environment of captive female panther chameleons (Furcifer pardalis) to ensure hatching success of their eggs, we investigated optimal UVB irradiation levels. From 1996–1998 28 hatchling female panther chameleons were raised to maturity and bred (using vitamin and mineralfortified ...
متن کاملEffects of incubation temperature on growth and performance of the veiled chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus).
I evaluated the effect of incubation temperature on phenotypes of the veiled chameleon, Chamaeleo calyptratus. I chose this species for study because its large clutch size (30-40 eggs or more) allows replication within clutches both within and among experimental treatments. The major research objectives were (1) to assess the effect of constant low, moderate, and high temperatures on embryonic ...
متن کاملThe scaling of tongue projection in the veiled chameleon, Chamaeleo calyptratus.
Within a year of hatching, chameleons can grow by up to two orders of magnitude in body mass. Rapid growth of the feeding mechanism means that bones, muscles, and movements change as chameleons grow while needing to maintain function. A previous morphological study showed that the musculoskeletal components of the feeding apparatus grow with negative allometry relative to snout-vent length (SVL...
