I've been looking for a male Henkeli for about about 6 months and about a months ago I found a 2 year captive on a chameleon forum, at a great price too, so I immediately snatched him up.

heres a few pics of my handsome new boy

So heres the thing when I first introduced him to my girl he chased her around for about an hour. She seemed kinda responsive but a little reluctant she quacked a few times. So I took him out then a week ago I stuck them back together and they locked up in ten min, even with the lights in the room on and the tv on too. I haven't been home every night but I have seen them locked up a second time as well.

When I put them together the first time I watched them with the Night Vision on my camera and decided to tape a little. it's kinda boring but I decided to throw it up here for fun. Also the reason I separated them was because I could see that she was about to drop eggs.Useful Trick - Night Vision allowed me to see she was gravid plain as day!

My question is can I leave them together or will this stress her out too much. There in an 18x18x36 right now and I'm half way done with a 15x15x60 I'm building for them which will be done by like July. I know that all animals and coupling situations are different from individual to individual so I'm just looking for opinions and personal experiences I don't expect a definite yes or no, all comments and impute are very appreciated complements criticism I like it all :D

Thanks

Thanks Mike,
Would it help take the stress of her if I got another female cause the male would have some one else to pay attention too, or could that cause more stress? Also this all depends on if I can track down another female. She dropped the eggs already, I pulled them out on Saterday. there both good this is her forth clutch since Jan 28 I got 2-1 good, 2-1 good, 2-both duds, and this time 2 good. I'm pretty pumped about the night vision showing the eggs. I have some time tonight so I'm going to try it with my satanic girls.

thanks again Mike
