I have a pygmy chameleon and I only handle her when I clean out her enclosure. She doesn't run away from me when I do, but I know she hates it so I just let her be. Give the little guy a chance to get used to you and his new home. Even if he doesn't let you hold him maybe you'll be satisfied...

I really don't want to move it and disturb the baby if he is still alive. You have no idea how tiny the eggs are so I'm just going to wait and see if the lil guy makes it. Thanks for all the suggestions and concern guys.

Yea i love pygmies, they are so tiny and adorable, here are a few pictures of my babies that hatched from my first clutch but unfortunately they didn't make it very long because of a temperature mistake I made. So I'm hoping to have better luck with these next ones...

my pygmy chameleon (brev) I tried searching it and only found one other thread that had close to the same thing happen, but they didn't really get an answer for it either. "/

I hope so! It has been like that for two days now and I hope I'm just being paranoid for no reason. Thanks for your help!

They didn't come out as clear as I had hoped but I hope it helps.

no its thicker than water. I know they sweat before hatching too and it does have a few small beads of water on it but the liquid I am talking about is thinker than that and looks like its coming from inside the egg. I'll try and see if I can take a clear picture of it. Maybe that will help?

Those are soooo adorable!!!! I love the last two pictures, such a pretty color :)

So I have 3 pygmy eggs due to hatch any day now. Yesterday I noticed one that had shrunken and had a crack in it with a clear liquid oozing out. I know it is normal for them to shrink before hatching, but has anyone experienced their eggs oozing out liquid? I just want to see if this is normal...

I use exo terra plantation soil and coco husk for my pygmies and have had 6 eggs with brownish yellow spots I think it just gets dyed by the soil? So far all but one of the eggs has hatched and I have 1 baby hatching right now and 2 more due any day now.

I got my bearded pygmies from flchams.com. They came in good shape and were less than $75. I think I paid $50 for the pair, not including shipping. But as the other members already stated it is an expensive hobby. The animal itself may not be expensive but keeping them happy and healthy is. Good...

I would honestly suggest just doing a bunch of research of all the types you might be interested in. You will get a lot of different opinions on here and only you know how much money, time and energy you can invest in the chameleon. good luck!

I don't know anything about Rudis but I own brevs (pygmy leaf chameleons). I like them because you can keep them in glass enclosures and in colonies. They are pretty easy to take care of because no one really knows if they need a uvb light (i use one to be on the safe side) and they can be kept...
