Just a quick update.

Secondly, I talked to Kurt Bleys today, and he informed me that he is very busy at this moment with his own e-magazine about chameleons, and in about 2-3 weeks he can start working on putting together Uroplatus UV information and related field data which he has collected from his excursions to Madagascar.

I would also like to remind the community that we are in need of three more $20 pledges in order to have all the funds necessary to buy our field equipment.

Enjoy the summer and take care!

The magazine is done so i can work a few days for Gecko's Unlimited. :D
What do you need? Tell me?

You must also know that we go next year for 3 weeks to the north (Madagascar), in march/april 2009 with the same organisation Tanalahorizon from Germany.
See for more information on the English version of the Chameleon Tour 2009

Project News........

Bill had to cancel the Jan. 2009 trip due to not quite filling the trip. He will be posting new trips to be offered online, by early January for the Dec. ’09 - Jan. ’10 tour.

The project is not cancelled, and will be put on hold until then.

Feel free to contact me if you have any collected field data from Madagascar that is relative to the topics being addressed in previous posts.

Happy Holidays!

Hey Kurt,
Any idea at which altitude this was? In shade or plain sun?

In september it was at the same time around 24°C in the shade, around 950m. Near the entrance of montagne D`Ambre. Humidity was the same.

btw: very nice picture of a fine animal!! :wink:

Hi there.
It's a long time since someone posted anything in here. Shame. Shame also that I didn't see it before, I would have donated, too. Are there any results yet?

Graham, did you make it to Madagascar? If not, I could lend you my UVB-meter (the 6.2 thingy).

I will most probably go to Madagascar again in autumn 2010 (September or October, just before the rainy season starts), visiting the habitat of U. phantasticus and U. ebenaui (Mt. d'Ambre as well as Nosy Be). I may even get myself the 6.5 Solarmeter just for that.

It would be nice though if people could post their results in here. I'm sure there are some collected data by now. No?

cheers

I believe original intentions were to provide Bill Love with the equipment paid for by donations. As far as I am aware, no official "last notice" for collection of donations has been sent out.

nice project, i'm surprised only one french gived money to support
if i can help when that will be the moment . . .

i have got many contacts all the year on Mada
and someone can be a sattelit of the project currently on Perinet-Mantadia and Morondava and Masoala... why not ?...

but i dont understand why studies about Nosy Mangabe
if you know story about this virgin island, that's human imported species there so maybe 40years of adaptation that's like a mega vivarium or new micro environement so not really typical spots of Uroplatus ....
