That would be fine for just one little pygmy. Have you found where to get one.?

Your chances of finding one are slim to none.

I noticed that! why are there no more pygmies available? i feel like i never should have stopped breeding them!!

Tanzania has stopped exporting, I believe. But a few forum members are breeding them as we speak so there should be a few available in the coming months.

A shipment of pygmies just came in this past week. I believe Tanzania is open now since we have seen a few shipments, though I have not seen an official anouncment.

This is my opinion only, but that's a very small space for any creature to live out its life in. Tiny cages are harder to manage because there simply isn't enough space for the different levels of humidity and temperature a cham needs during the day and night. Also, you'll need enough space for living plants, for the cham to hunt its food, to bask, drink, and hide. Sounds like a not-so-great quality of life IMHO.

Plus the fact that most pygmies (I don't know if the new ones at LLL are imported or not) are still imported, of unknown age, and have fairly short lifespans. If you haven't kept chams before it may not be the best one to start off with.

They came in as 'Kenya Pygmy' chameleons. tanz is still closed.

woah i forgot i made this thread i got a veiled one week ago but what is the pygmy care compared to veileds? do pygmys need a basking spot? i know for sure i can have them in a tank and what do they eat? can they eat small crickets and what about supplements? would repashy calcium plus be fine for dust?
