Hey guys
I am desperately wanting another Cham, one for myself. My dad is very impressed with the care that Peanut has received and I'm rather proud of myself. Thanks to the advice and posts on this forum she has grown from a tiny little thing to a stong beautiful Cham. We've made it through her first egg laying and she seems as healthy as ever.
So an opportunity came up where i could have got myself a male Rudis, but someone beat me to the post. I allowed myself to get really excited about him, and was so disappointed.
Back to the point of the post.
I've always loved the threads and posts made on Pygmy Chams, and the Rep shop i bought Peanut from has a couple in, they dont usually have them.
I've read up on them in the links provided in other posts and am confident that i could make a go at keeping these little guys but not much is said about the temperatures.
The link i found on a post on here said they would live happily at room temp, then suggested mid to high 70's for day time, but to avoid temps in the high 80's. That like all Chams they need and tolerate a drop at night, so i thought i'd measure the temps at home.
At 1am the reading was 62.3
At 10.30 the reading was 66.4
I will post more temps throughout today.
Keeping in mind we are in a cold snap now, my house doesnt get colder than this usually do you think the pygmies would be ok?
Thanks guys and gals
