Pygmy chameleon Viv Help

[Moosenart]

I am going to get a pair of Pygmy chameleons eventually! I have read multiple sites that you CAN house Pygmy chams in a 10 gallon aquarium, I have read the opposite, the need a screen cage. What is the answer???? I DO PLAN TO LIVE PLANT! and one last question do the need UVA/UVB?

And live planting websites or pics would be awesome!

Consensus seems to be glass enclosures.

Do the research if you plan on keeping any animal. We gave you places to look for the answers to your questions, we shouldn't have to do all the work for you.

Glass cages with low levels of UVB and for goodness sake use a normal size font. Being obnoxious makes me want to answer your questions less...

Hopefully not in the same enclosure?

Research all you can, no matter what you decide to get. There is a lot of conflicting information out there on the web. Most of which is due to ignorance from people not doing research. Take everything with a grain of salt, there are some truths in all methods (this depends on a lot of variations in "WHY" people do certain things, or where they got their information themselves).

pygmies can be kept in a glass enclosure so long as the top is screened for ventilation. The glass actually helps to maintain the higher humidity for them.
