Thanks Will. At least I know I didn't get ripped off. :) That's why I like buying from breeders instead of LPS. However I don't see many types of chams for sale here in London, ON. I've wanted to get some of these for quite some time now and have never found them locally.
I'll try and...
Hey Thanks Julie. Well the brown one's tail is slightly shorter but not by much. So I guess either I have a male / female or 2 males. They may perhaps have a bit of maturing to do as well. Time will tell.
Every time I saw them in the LPS they were both brown. Not until this morning in...
WOW ... I just found an online reptile place here in Ontario, Canada that's selling Brev. Pygmy Chams for $89 each!! Maybe my price wasn't so bad after all !! LOL
Dyesub Dave. :D
Yeah I held one of the amber-clearish ones up to the window and could definitely see something inside. I wonder if the white ones are just taking a bit longer to develop as they're growing as large as the others.
Do you have pygmy chams Julie? And if so can you tell if mine are male &...
Hey Julie,
Remember I'm in Canada so these things are generally a bit more expensive here. I should price some out and see if I paid WAAAY too much. I'd hate to bring them back now ... especially if they're M/F. Maybe I could just get a slight credit back from the LPS.
The cham eggs are...
Okay .... now I know for sure that they're both Brevs. I was reading on the FL Chams website on the care of Brevs and found this!
Brevicaudatus is the only species of African leaf chameleon that have a dermal lobe under their chin – this is basically several elongated scales.
On close...
Well ... I got them!! But I'm starting to think that they're Brevs. Check out the pics here!

Dyesub Dave. :D
Can you tell from the pics if they're male & female?? Also ... I paid $50 each for them. If they're Brevs is that far overpriced? Should I perhaps call the LPS and complain??
Thanks ... Dyesub Dave. :D
I believe that the LPS got them both from the same supplier as they were supposed to get more but somehow that fell through. They had them labelled as Kenya Pygmy Chameleons and when I asked the exact species they told me they were the Temporalis species.
They did have them for at least a...
OH ... I have the PROBLEM ... if that's what you want to call it. However lack of money and space prevent me from going too crazy. Mind you on top of the 4 Veileds with 26 eggs due in a month and 57 due next fall and the 2 Pygmy chams we just got we've also got many other creatures.
Such as...
I do have some questions on lighting for these guys as I've read varying things about it. I currently have a small 25W incandescent desk light about 3" above the enclosure. This keeps the temps at around 76-77 deg. F. throughout the day at one end of the enclosure.
I've read that they...
Well I got myself a couple of Pygmy Chams yesterday ... they're SOOO KOOL !! :cool:
I was told that they're Rhampholeon temporalis but I'm thinking that they look a little like Brevs. The LPS also couldn't tell if they were male and female or not. I'm defintely hoping that they are ... maybe...
OK ... I'm thinking of getting the 2 pygmy chams that the LPS currently has this weekend. I took a good look at them today. The only difference that I can see is that one is a bit smaller than the other. The larger one is slightly thicker at the base of the tail and has a slightly longer...
Well ... I believe my 5 yr. old male veiled has started to occasionally eat crickets again as that's all I've been able to give him lately except for the occasional grape half which he also doesn't seem to mind.
However he got a nice treat the other day. I opened up his cage to spray him and...
I was just wondering if it's better to get 2 females to 1 male or if 1 of each is fine. Do they ever show aggression towards each other? I was looking for that Stump Tailed Chameleons - Miniature Dragons book but man it's fairly expensive.
Anybody know of any online resources??
Thanks...
OK ... Thanks Will. If you get a chance could you post a pic of a female - if you have any - for comparison?? Also ... do you know of any good resources on the net for care and breeding of these guys?
Wow Gesang ... that guy is beautiful. The ones I saw were just brown. They said that they...
