The Chameleon Experts
There are many so-called professional keepers out there, but who do you follow to get the best care for our pets? Though this may not be a straightforward answer, below are two of the world’s top chameleon experts. Petr Nečas and Bill Strand are well respected researchers and specialists whose input and advice we incorporate in our own chameleon husbandry.
Petr Nečas
Author of dozens of scientific articles and several herpetological books, one of which is considered a basal work of chameleonology: "Chameleons, the nature's hidden jewels", published in 5 languages. Another book is the only book on leaf chameleons ever published: "Stump-tailed Chameleons: Miniature Dragons of the Rainforest, the Genera Brookesia and Rhampholeon".
Bill Strand
Bill Strand’s passion for chameleons started 40 years ago and has only grown. His community outreaches include hosting the award winning Chameleon Breeder Podcast, and expanding the newly established, multi-media site: The Chameleon Academy which can be found here (https://www.chameleonbreeder.com). He has been featured in the UK based Practical Reptile Keeping Magazine and the US based Reptiles Magazine. In all of his outreaches, Bill’s goal is to promote educated and naturalistic chameleon husbandry as the conduit for us to become more intimately aware of the world we live in.
