new pygmys

[wezeman512]

i got 2 bearded pygmys yesterday, i didn't except them to be so little! but they are doing good, but how long do you think i should wait before i handle them? a couple days maybe?

sounds good.

I would probably wait 5-7 days because they can get stressed easily and pygmys arent much differnt than other chameleons they dont like being handled they also get stressed just as a veiled would.

okay, thanks for the help

Why would you want to handle them? The only time I handle mine are when I need to do major cage cleaning. They do stress and die pretty easily-I would think they are a look-at-not-hold type of chameleon.

Double ditto!

Perhaps if you let them climb on a little branch and you held the branch with the cham on it so you could admire it up close....

id say treat your terrarium with pigs in it like you would a fish tank. observation only.
