Abstract

In order to identify, evaluate and assess different problems that can appear in chameleons’ reproduction in captivity, we must consider all the factors that are involved in the reproductive act, analyzing reproductive system’s anatomical and physiological characteristics, environmental factors, biological factors and feeding, bearing in mind the great biodiversity and specificity inside the Chamaleonidae family.The diagnosis is mainly based on complete anamnesis, thorough physical exam and complementary tests as diagnostic imaging, to be able to identify any underlying and determinant factors of reproductive failures. Knowing this information, two clinical cases about gestation problems on two Chamaeleo calyptratus females have been, one consisting of preovulatory hold (folicle phase) and the other, postovulatory egg hold (egg phase).
