Özet

Here, we report a reproduction observation of Chamaeleo chameleon from Güllük, (Milas, Muğla) Turkey. During our fieldwork on 20 September 2013, we captured a female chameleon, brought it to the laboratory and kept it in a terrarium for a brief period. The chameleon (SVL= 153.4 mm, total length, TL=288.6 mm) suddenly died on 30 October 2013. We dissected the specimen due to check the cause of death and we found 32 eggs in body cavity. We concluded the individual died from dystocia. The phenomenon is the firstly recorded from Anatolia. © 2018 Biharean Biologist, Oradea, Romania.
