Alternative Name
Four-Horned Chameleon
Scientific Name: Chamaeleo quadricornis
Basic Info
Typical Four-Horned Chameleons are bright green with brown, yellow, black, and/or red markings. Captive born Quads are sometimes blue or blue-green, but this coloration is rare. The females lack horns and only have a very small sail-fin. Males and females will grow to about 14 inches in length, including the tail.
Health
4-Horned Chameleons require low temperatures. During the day they can should have a temperature gradient of about 70 degrees Fahrenheit at a cool end and 80 degrees at the warmest end. At night the temperature should drop to 60 - 65 degrees. The humidity in the enclosure should be between 85% and 100%. The Four-Horned's enclosure should be showered regularly by heavily misting plants in the enclosure. This is important because, like all chameleons, the Four Horned Chameleon drinks the water droplets on the leaves. Using distilled water will prevent unsightly spotting on the glass of their enclosure. Like most other chameleons, vertical enclosures are better than horizontal. A cage that is three to five feet tall is ideal, but if a shorter cage is desired, they should not be shorter than two feet in height.
Breeding
Though they can sometimes live peacefully in groups, females will probably live longer and have more clutches, if kept singly. In captivity, females lay 8-15 eggs about three times a year. If you house your Quads separately, place the female in the male's cage and observe her reaction to the male's advances. If the female is not receptive, separate the pair and try again in about a week. If they do mate, return the female to her own enclosure. If the mating was successful, she will show gravid colors about two days after copulation. Eggs should be incubated at 72-73 F and hatch in approximately 18 weeks.
Habitat
Africa
Behavior
Also known as the "Cameroon Bearded Chameleon," or "Quad," the Four-Horned Chameleon males will grow two to six horns on the tip of their noses. Though popular, Quads are not recommended for novice chameleon owners.
Four-Horned Chameleons are often extremely docile, even accepting other males in their enclosures. Of course, the enclosure should be large enough to keep them from having confrontations and some individuals are more aggressive than others.

Herbie Hancock - Takin’ Off (1962)
Herbie Hancock - Takin’ Off (1962) * * * * * 1 votos AMG: Herbie Hancock’s debut as a leader, Takin’ Off, revealed a composer and pianist able to balance sophistication and accessibility, somewhat in the vein of Blue Note’s prototype hard bopper Horace Silver. Yet while Hancock could be just as funky and blues-rooted as Silver, their overall styles diverged in several ways: Hancock was lighter and more cerebral, a bit more adventurous in his harmonies, and more apt to break his solos out Continue reading
Gogosian and Russell
I went to the Gogosian Gallery in Beverly Hills to take in Roni Horn’s photographs of luminous French actor Isabelle Huppert. The series is repetitive, intense, and surprisingly profound. The fine distinctions of Huppert’s shifting thoughts combined with the delicacy of her diaphanous features create an essay as idiosyncratic as the subtle shift in a chameleon’s skin - imperceptible upon steady viewing, but close scrutiny unveils tiny variations that reveal the nuances of the subject’s soul.

Deacon John: The Show Goes On
Having mentioned Deacon John Moore's bands several times in the Willie West post just past, I thought it was time to dust off a couple of Moore's singles, which surprisingly comprise exactly 2/3 of his entire vinyl output. For a New Orleans bandleader, vocalist and active session guitarist whose career spans at least four decades, Moore recorded a scant three singles, all of which had been virtually forgotten until Tuff City/Night Train revived two of them on a compilation, Best of Chase Records Continue reading

Broken Social Scene Finds The Magic At Mercury Lounge
When I was younger, I would feel an electric charge of excitement in anticipation of a concert. Now that I see an average of 3 or 4 concerts a week, there's little time for that excitement to build up. Some concerts actually just feel like a fix to feed my crazy, crazy addiction. By the time I got to Mercury Lounge last night, I was starting to feel that rare energetic surge of excitement. My friend and I had just witnessed a less than spectacular performance by Fiery Furnaces at the Eas Continue reading

words by Black Bubblegum, photos by Kyle Dean Reinford Real Talk: The show was a warm-up, a place to work out the kinks before they rock the big crowds of the Siren Festival on Saturday. At points it showed. The band had a few false starts and were definitely a little rusty, except for the "classics". More Real Talk: It wasn't just just Brendan Canning, it was Broken Social Scene!

Hang on to your wallets; Obama's idea of patriotism will bankrupt America
Today, in a highly scripted speech delivered using a teleprompter in Independence, Missouri, Senator Obama showed he's been promoted by the DNC well above his abilities.

diskant rewind: Bargain Bin Culture #3
(Originally posted April 2002) Many a day will pass where I’ll be reclining in the Secret Diskant HQ (It’s location is so secret I can’t reveal to you where it is, but I will say it has a great view of the Eiffel tower) and young pups such as Greg Kitten or Ollie Simpson will approach me and say, “How do you do it, Wil? How do you get all the chicks? The birds go ape around you!” (I dunno how they found out about my dalliance with the London Zoo’s female gorilla, but that’s beside the point. Continue reading

My Morning Jacket does the genre hop with new album ‘Evil Urges’
What is it about success that causes a rock ‘n’ roll act to wander? With “Evil Urges,” My Morning Jacket is the latest band or artist to veer off a course toward apparent superstardom and chart the choppy waters of musical experimentation. Remember “Midnite Vultures,” the guilty pleasure Beck put out after the groundbreaking “Odelay”? And who can forget “This Note’s For You,” Neil Young’s label-irritating turn as a horn-backed soul singer. My Morning Jacket, the Louisville, Ky., quintet fron Continue reading

Some Love For Semi-Pro: Ten Reasons Why I Think This Film Is Out Of Sight
Despite it’s failure with audiences and critics, I found Semi-Pro (the first feature from Producer turned director Kent Alterman) to be one of the funniest and most joyously alive films of the year. Revisiting the film on DVD was just as rewarding as seeing it twice at the theater, as its celebratory recalling of a era long since past works as well on the small screen as it did on the big one. In a way I am not surprised that Semi-Pro failed to catch on. I remember seeing it opening night bac Continue reading
