Hello there Mr. Busch, and thank you for viewing my site!
As far as sexing the chameleons, the males will have more pronounced dorsal ridges along their necks, and a shorter, stubbier tail. They will also have a few flash colors, such as peach, green, light blue, cream, etc.
Females will be rounder, and have a smoother dorsal ridge. Their tails will be noticeably longer and straighter.
Also, as far as finding some good Reed Frogs, post over at Talkto.thefrog.org. There is a guy there names Jerry B that produces a few varieties.
I would also suggest contacting Bill Schwinn from that site. He can point you in the right direction if he knows anyone currently working with them.
good luck!

Great little site. Loved the abundance of pictures and useful information. I found it while researching for the same two types of animals (pygmy and reed). God willing i have as much luck and fun with my pets.

No problem, I am happy to help.
I would feed young chameleons, under 1 year, at least 2 times per day. Per chameleon, they should get at least 3-5 crickets.
An older pygmy, can eat once daily, and should be offered the same amount of crickets.
Crickets die off rather quickly, so If you had 1-2 chameleons, I would do at least 40-50 crickets per week.
A small pitcher plant may work, you would have to check the type of humidity it would need against the humidity the chameleon needs, just make sure it is compatible.
good luck!

Thom,
I would not give up just yet~ the fact that they have grown and there is no molding is a good sign. I would give them at least another month to a month and a half before I would decide to either destroy them or open them and see if in fact they are still developing.
You could try to up the temps of the container just a bit. Keep it in a warmer then usual spot. but remember to check it more frequently and keep the media moist.
I hope everything works out and that you get at least one to hatch!
