Chams are doing great... want more

[kearth]

I had posted a while about about a pair of bearded pygmys that I had bought.
They are doing great. I now have them in an 18 inch exoterra and they are eating well. They eat a mixture of roach nymph, small crickets and hydei.

Down the road I would like to get another kind of pygmies. What other kinds are there? I like who males and females and can live together.

Any suggestions on a place to get them?


Thank you in advance

There are all kinds of pygmies out there; R. brevicaudatus and R. spectrum are the ones I see most often, and appear to be the least expensive. Check this forum, and Chameleon News for pygmies. FL Chams, one of our sponsors, often carries pygmies - last I checked, they didn't have any in stock, but still had the information and pictures of the different types. "Stump-Tailed Chameleons - Miniature Dragons of the Rainforest" is a very good book, that devotes two or three pages to each species, with pictures, natural distribution ranges and what is known about their captive care. Zoo Book Sales in Minnesota <http://www.zoobooksales.com/> is the primary American distributor of that book (I don't think I was able to find it on Amazon).

If chameleons are addictive, then pygs are reptile crack!
Here's a neat little site in the UK. You can't get enough pygmys!

I have been searching for that book. Some one else reccommended it as well.
Thank for the link of where to find it
