Seeking advice for creating optimal breeding conditions, since there isn't a lot out there on the greater internet and sometimes there's conflicting info on this species. I recently acquired a pair, ages unknown. Female looks mature size, male is a bit smaller than she is. He is definitely interested in her! Both are eating and seem to be doing great-- seemingly unstressed and casually moving about the enclosure.
I'm an experienced gecko keeper of 20 years but pygmy chams are new for me. While I'm totally fine with them being pets only, I'd love to get them to breed simply because these are so difficult to come by. Any hot tips to encourage them?
Current set up:
10 gallon with screen top
Nano basking light.
T5 5.0 UVB strip.
Hydro balls/AGB layered substrate
Natural plants with a few artificial fillers to create more hiding spots while the real things grow.
Feeding dusted Hydei and few day old crickets.
Misting once in the morning, once at 8pm before lights out.
