I'm new!

I've been researching pygmies for a while now and am interested in purchasing one of my own (once I do all of my research.) One thing I have yet to completely distinguish is the different types! I think I want brevicaudatus. I've seen listings such as pygmy leaf chameleons and bearded chameleons and I'm confused! Are these all names for the same thing (brevs)? Thanks for any help in my confusion

Hmm very helpful, thanks! I still wonder if a leaf pygmy or whatever they call them is the same thing.

http://adcham.com/html/taxonomy/species/r-brevicaudatus.html this is your typical species of pygmy you'll find in the petstore/ breeders.

unfortunatly my knowledge is very lacking in the pigmy department.other members who keep these guys will eventually chime in.

yea it is sometimes called a leaf chameleon, or a bearded, any person you buy from should know what species it is, if they dont I'd do business else where.

I recently purchased my guys (a 1.2 group) from www.flchams.com

Check them out, a few forum members got some from the same batch i got mine from and have been very happy.
