Mixing species

[Justin Carl]

can you mix Pygmy chameleon species in the same cage.
I have a 35 gallon cage that i just finished, and was wondering if i could co-mingle(sp) species of pymies. maybe 1.2 brevs and a super, etc.

These will be wild caught animals I presume?

 

[Justin Carl]

yes they are WC

Nope. Gotta keep 'em separated.

There are some species of Rhampholeon/Rieppeleon/Brookesia that require cooler temperature ranges than the brevicaudatus to thrive in captivity. Keeping them too hot will kill them off.

There are plenty CB brevicaudatus these days so look for them. They are much easier to deal with than WC specimens in the long run.

Cheers,
