Breeding Rare Pygmy Lizards & Chameleons With The Chameleon Collective
Episode 136
Saturday, 28 February, 2026
Episode #136 of Daffy's Round Table!On this episode, I’m joined by Tyler from The Chameleon Collective. We start off talking about how he first got into reptile keeping (spoiler: mountain horn dragons had a big role) and then talk about Tyler’s current collection and some of the species he’s working with, including the Knuckles Mountain Pygmy Lizard (Cophotis dumbara) that he’s currently breeding. It’s a really cool species that I think more people should be working with, so we spend some time diving into those.Tyler is also an 8th grade biology teacher, so we talk about how he incorporates reptiles into his classroom and how he’s helping inspire the next generation to appreciate reptiles and wildlife.We also talk about Happy Dragons, a group of reptile creators and educators putting out weekly episodes teaching people about reptiles. Tyler plays a really interesting role there, positioning himself as the “expert student”, asking the questions that everyone else wants answered.And towards the end of the episode I found out Tyler is actually a parasite specialist, which opened up a whole other conversation that we only scratched the surface of — so we’ll definitely have to bring him back for a full parasites episode in the future.Follow Tyler on IG: https://www.instagram.com/thechamcollective/Check out Tyler's Website: https://www.thechamcollective.com/Take a class with Tyler: https://www.thechamcollective.com/shop/lessonsCheck out Tyler's last episode on Happy Dragons: https://youtu.be/79sOfY6ASl4?si=Rrib29Aa07mC8QKf Huge thank you to Exo Terra for sponsoring the podcast and making this episode possible.
