Carpet cham info?

[Amanda1801]

Hiya,

I'm on a mission deciding what kind of cham(s) I'm going to get next - I'm moving house in a few months so I'm looking to get some research in before I move and can get a new set up

I really love the look of carpet chams but I'm struggling to find any reliable info online about them, there seems to be a lot of conflicting info!

I believe that they are pretty small - are they classed as a pygmy? I quite like the idea of pygmys, but need to do some research into them and whether they would work for me (or rather whether I would work for them!)

Does anyone have any links to some reliable info regarding care etc. of carpets?

Cheers!

Amanda

Always good to do some research first!

One important thing, IMO, is for people who want a second cham or more in general is to stick with species that have close to the same husbandry unless you have two separate rooms for them. Keeping a veiled in the same room with say a hoehnelli isnt the best idea because of temperatures (day and night) and humidity differences. Carpets arent as small as pygmies but they are a smaller sized chameleon.

Yeah im actually looking for a new house that actually suits my pets needs lol I'm thinking that I might play it safe and get another veiled or a panther next, but a lot of thought is going to have to go into it!

I didn't get a chance for research before my veiled as he was a rescue, but I'm well educated now!
