Hi all! At what age can pigmy chams be sexed? I sometimes see pygmies with only a couple of months and by the length of their tails they seem clearly males or females... am I wrong? Thanks!

Hi all! I know this is usually not endorsed here, but I read somewhere in Chameleons Online that some people keep Pygmies and small Geckos together with sucess. I have a 46 gal (exoterra 60x60x45), can I have a 1.2 pygmy group and a 0.1 or 0.2 CB Lepidodactylus lugubris together? Their temp...

Hi all! Technical question: Can a pygmy cham see a prey without the prey moving? Let's say I have a dark cricket against a clear background or glass. The cricket is still. Can the Pyg identify the cricket even tough it's not moving? Thanks.

Can I keep 2 males in this enclosure? Its the 60 x 45 x 60 cm / 24" x 18" x 24" (WxDxH) from exoterra. I ask this because I plan on adding 2 or 3 females if it's possible, and with only one male, I'm affraid I'll start to inbreed my chams, correct? 2 males would prevent that, right...

Hi all! I have a pygmy in a exoterra enclosure 45x60x60. Here it is: And here's the little guy (not so little for a pygmy): I heard some people say that a couple of days after releasing the crickets, if not eaten their nutritional value drops to near 0. Problem is I can't hand...

Hi all! Do pygmies shed their skin all their lifes or they stop doing it when they stop growing? Thanks!

Hi all, Can we house a couple (male+female) of Jackson's together? With dense foliage, of course... I've been investigating in the net and the opinions are rather divergent. Thanks!

Hi all! Long story short. I have an attic with lots of light and lots of space but with a few issues... low humidity and high temperature. The low humidity can be fixed but the hight temperature (high 90, low 100) it's harder to deal with. In the winter it can be real cold, but then I could...

Hi all! From what I've read, if kept at room temperature (in my case high 70's), waxworms will initiate their cicle and in a couple of weeks I'll have wax moths, correct? Althought I'm starting to breed them, I want to save a few worms to feed my cham once in a while. Question 1: How do...

Hi all! I have a pygmy cham for about a year now and he's 2 years old (give or take a few months). Since I got him I only handled him maybe 5, 6 times, he's very shy and starts vibrating when a touch him, so I leave him alone. I watch him a lot, seen him eat a few times, but that's it...

I bought him as a "him", but lately I've been wondering... Any help? Thanks!

Hi all! After a few months the vegetation really took over this enclosure... looking good! Only problem is... wheres the cham? :) And after a little search... here it is! I'm really motivated to getting him a female (or 2!) so he can share this "jungle" with someone... but it's sooo...

Hi all! Just a simple question: Did you see Arachnophobia? Well I have the same issue as the guy in that movie but with roaches. I can't stand the damn buggers! No way around this issue... I can live with crix, zophoba, tenebrios, flies, silkworms, any worm,... but not roaches! I currently...

Hi all. Can't find Hydroton in Portugal... been to several stores and nothing, tried online but it was too expensive, today I talked to a lady that said that little pieces of brick (common redish brick) has the same effect has hydroton in draining the excess of water! Is that true?!? Thanks!

In October 27 I used Black Jungle's online shop http://www.blackjungle.com to buy some substrate and hydroton. I checked in the site if they do International Shipments and aparently they do them. In the end I used Paypal to pay. They withdrawed their money from my account right away and I...

Hi! Can I dust cricket's food (let's say carrots) with calcium? Won't that get in its organisms and to the cham? thanks.

Hi all! I was trying to make a list of chameleons's species that can live in group and so far Rhampholeon brevicaudatus, Chamaeleo (Trioceros) rudis and Bradypodion thamnobates are some of those species. Any help with others? Thanks!

Hi. How do I remove water deposit from a pygmy enclosure with substrate? Any owner-friendly technique? I was trying to avoid the "remove chameleons for 2 days and let it dry" technique... Thanks!

Hi, Yesterday I noticed that my female pygmy (4 months old) had what seems to be swolen eyes and kept them close a big part of the day... And saw her miss 2 shots at crics! I was a little worried and today I checked it again and that's how she is looking (see pics below). Mind you that she...

Hi! I was just thinking... can I add vitamins to the water I spray the enclosure? They will drink the water, right? Is this an option? I would be more relaxed about their vitamin income... Thanks!
