I can't tell from the photo if she is gravid or not, but there is a little trick to check it. A friend of mine wrote this article on chameleonnews.com: http://www.chameleonnews.com/06MayDeckers.html Scroll down and you'll see a photo of a pygmy chameleon in front of a lamp. Be careful not to...

Up to 9 eggs per clutch I believe, but in general mostly 3-5. My last 3 clutches had a 100% hatching rate.

Exactly. The scientific name (in case you need it) is Epipremnum or Scindapsus aureum/aureus. I use them in some of my terraria as well (the right most has a lot of them):

I actually don't see why anyone would want to carry around his/her chameleon this way. There's always a risk of injury (falling) and stress. Just let them be in a tank with a suitable set-up of plants etc.

No problem. You'll need to house her a bit cooler than the brevi's by the way. Nchisiensis is a montane species. A light bulb is probably sufficient, since they won't tolerate high temperatures. It's a great species to work with though. Their camouflage is amazing... Put some pieces of bark and...

I would add a lot more branches, fill up the open space a bit. You could also consider replacing the vines with live ones, in order to keep the humidity a bit higher. The more leaf surface, the more evaporation. Adding a Ficus also sounds like a good idea.

That's not spectrum. It's Rhampholeon (Rhinodigitum) nchisiensis as I expected :)

The one on your middle/ringfinger needs special attention. By looking at his eye, I'd say he is either severely dehydrated, or he might be infected with a parasite. The others look good. I assume they come from a WC shipment? It would be highly unlikely that there's a Rh. spectrum in the same...

I would also add a lot more branches. Instead of schefflera (if you can't find one), you can use Ficus benjamina as well. They're my basic plant in alsmost all my terraria. The twigs of a Ficus are big enough to support the weight of a small chameleon, the foliage provides hiding places, there...

40% is still way to low for pardalis. They need 70% at least... Do you have a soil bottom?

Seriously people, it's the heating ;) Not the best place to put a terrarium.

There´s the cause... Can you measure the humidity somewhere else in the room? It might be wise to put the cage somewhere else.

Wow, 25% is waaaaaaaaay to low. You should create a more stable environment. Do you have a bottom of soil and real plants? This would probably help a lot, since they hold a lot of moisture. But I'm also guessing the room around the cage is super dry. You could try to increase that room's...

This is stress. He's clearly not happy in this photo, probably a reaction towards the camera...

There are about 50 species of pygmy chams (mostly from Madagascar, a number from east Africa and one from west Africa). They don't all live in the same kind of habitat, so in captivity they also need different temperatures and humidiy. Rieppeleon brevicaudatus and Rhampholeon temporalis are...

You're right, they don't get enough credit :) In the first two pictures, however, he seems a bit stressed out (throat inflated, mouth opened wide in the first pic). Senegal's are pretty sensitive, so you might want to minimize stress...

It is Rieppeleon brevicaudatus. Very easy to tell by the small conical shaped scale on its chin. Brookesia species are rarely offered for sale.

I wouldn't buy the one that is sitting on the bark stuff. If he accidentally swallowed some of it, he might get constipated.

Congrats! How long have the other eggs been incubating so far?

I wouldn't worry about it. I know several people that breed or bred chameleons and at the same time kept snakes (and in the same room). Plus, chameleons have a very poorly developed Jacobson's organ, which suggests their sense of smell is minimal. If they can see a snake in their surroundings...
