I'm still lurking around ;).

I have a 1.5 WC group up for sale. They are $75 each and the entire group is $400. The male will not be sold separately. This is a proven group, some females are gravid and they are producing eggs. If you are in the upstate NY area then the enclosure can be sold along with them. PM...

I and other use this - the temps fluctuate a bit but its fine IMO and I put a digital temp gauge inside it to check highs and lows each week. It has no problem keeping temps in 70's since it has a heating element as well as a cooling one. I set it for 71 (I think) and the hi/low each week is...

I would be way more concerned with the 90F then the lower temp - that may have damaged the embryo. I cant tell you for sure since I have never let eggs get that warm. You need to invest in a deluxe incubator that can sustain proper temps or look into a wine fridge which can do the same. -roo

From my experiences, rarely do they lay infertile eggs. Yes it will eventually mold/collapse ... they also tend to be smaller then a fertile egg and yellow in color. -roo

I agree, there are many species that do well in captivity and those are what should only be available in the pet trade. I also think that a permit should be required to own one and they shouldn’t be sold in pet stores either. Saving the planet … Lost cause. Not to sound like a sociopath...

She may be gravid ... a top down point of view would make it easier to tell. Females can lay infertile eggs ... pretty sure without mating too. I have only witnessed breeding a couple times and it was during the day. -roo

I try to keep temps around 72-78(F) for brevs with at least a 10 degree drop at night. I don’t like to see the humidity drop below 50 just prior to the next misting. After I mist the humidity read 72-75 on the gauge at the top center of the tank just under the lighting so it probably around 85...

They are no longer available. -roo

They (one or both) are FREE to a GOOD home. You pay shipping. -roo

No species of pygmy will survive at 95F for very long. -roo

Check out this article. They arent as tough as brevs ... that's for sure and are more sensitive to warmer temps - anything over 73F is not suggested. -roo http://www.chameleonnews.com/e_africa_stump.html

I think the egg incubation chamber is much more then you need. As mentioned, room temps are fine … meaning 75-ish with and a drop at night to around 67F. At those temps, if the egg is fertile, it will hatch in roughly 79 days. Temp spikes shouldn’t cause any problems but I would avoid warmer...

A weak grip is another symptom of a vitamin A deficiency. -roo

They can handle the same temps as brevs but tend to be more ground dwellers and appreciate a more densely planted enclosure. They are not nearly as prolific as brevs – I worked with them for a little over a year and produced about 30 of them. I liked them but decided to focus more on brevs...
