I'm new on the forum, but hopefully I manage to get this to work:p I've been looking and reading here for a while, but never got myself an account.

A few days ago I went to a reptile show. I was not supposed to buy any animals, so I was just there looking. I however found a few r. temporalis, and somehow managed to buy a male and two females. I've wanted chams of my own for a while but don't have space enough for any of the large ones. These pygmys though were just too beautiful to resist.
Got a few photos of them today though, so figured I might share them here:

Beautiful!!

What type of vine/plant are they on in the your second picture?

Thank you!
Hrm... English is not really my native language, but I believe the name of the bush would be Corylus avellana 'Contorta'. The English name may be "Corkscrew hazel", but I'm not entierly sure.
We've used it for quite a few terrariums over the years, and it seem to work quite well. Very nice looking as well! My father grow some in his backyard, so I know that there are no chemicals used.
 
Fantastic pictures and such cute little chameleons :)

I plan to set up a pygmy tank sometime in the next few months.. I love this species of pygmies :)
 
Thank you both deadhd5 and Trace!

They are truly adorable, and quite fascinating little chams. Not to fond of handeling them too much though - I keep thinking that they'll break every time I move any of them:p
