Okay so I would appreciate help from everyone that knows anything about pygmy chameleons. First off can you please tell me if my terrarium set up is good enough for this little guy?
I had done a lot of research on pygmys before buying this guy from fl chams. Well to my surprise my research didn't pay off because when i received him he was actually "playing" dead! He would close his eyes and not move and i would even touch him to see if he was dead and he wouldnt even move or open his eyes. Then he would magically open his eyes and start moving. I was so scared and thought he was dying. So I contacted Mike from fl chams and he told me that this was normal behavior for pygmys. I am shocked by this because I have read many threads on pygmy's and none of them talked about this behavior. Has anyone heard of this before?? Well please just help me if you can and give me some advice to make my new pygmy more comfortable.
