Thanks for the reply. I set up the lighting for the lateralis according to Frank Payne' s care sheet. Since it is a linear light that lights three tanks I put lots of fake plants at the top of the pygmy that filters the light to be very shaded except for a small basking area. My other larger...

Lol Yea I love them. They are good growers! So much faster than my pothos plants.

Thank you the only fake plants that I have in any of my tanks are the ones packed at the very top that are just for light filtration. Once the asparagus fern gets long enough I hope to reroute it across the top as well to get rid of those but right now it's just not a big enough plant.

Here is an updated picture. 18x18x24

Thank you! I have since added a leaf layer as well. And packed the top with face plants to filter light. I use a linear fluorescent fixture that uses 48 in linear bulbs across all three enclosures. One bulb is just a regular natural light fluorescent bulb the second is a Zoo Med 10.0 UVB. In...

Hey! Thanks for the reply. Pygmys need the substrate because they do not use laying boxes. They lay near the roots of the plants in the enclosure. I do have a leaf layer added to help them walk around on the ground and avoid ingestion.

No worries.

They are very different in husbandry than non-pygmy species of chameleons. They are actually more successful in glass enclosures, which of course is not the case with larger species.

Do you work with brookesia?

Hey all, I got this 80 gallon tank for $20 so I decided to break our a couple sides and build it into a terrarium. Here's the progress. - Jess

Hey all, Wondering if anyone else keeps brookesia superciliaris and what your enclosure is like. This is mine.

Oh man! I hadn't heard that! That's definitely a good thing to keep an eye on! I was planning on using a UVB as well but man, there are just so many options! What are your thoughts on a combo like one of these...

Sounds good. Luckily I have a little bit to try in out. My local exotic store knows someone who raises them in the area(Spokane).

Yes! These are CB! Very excited any guess what wattage would be appropriate to raise it just a couple degrees like that?

They are Rieppeleon brevicaudatus. And i am getting 1 male and 2 females.
