Pygmy!!!

joeandsoph · Oct 4, 2011

Helloooo,

I thought I'd let you all know I new a new addition to my reptil family. A baby Kenyan Pygmy Chameleon. I've wanted a Pygmy for so long and my boyfriend got it me last night as a surprise. Now obviously, we've done all the research but if anyone has any helpful tips that they persoanlly find work, then I'm all ears!

Thanks so much!

Congrats! Can't wait to see pics of the new addition!

Here he is...

Pretty sure it's a baby brev (R. brevicaudatus). Super cute!

What a cute little fella!

Hey, we were told from the breeder he's a Kenyan Pygmy
(Rhampholeon Kerstenii)?

joeandsoph · Oct 4, 2011

I'm pretty sure he is, he looks like a Kenyan, look at the pic when he's on my finger.

Now normally im not a fan of pygmys (the no tail thing is weird to me) but very cute little baby. i almost want one just cuz its so small.

But, ill be maxed out with my veiled and my male hoe coming.

He is a little darling isn't he. I've called him Castiel =D Anyone have idea tips on these? At the moment I'm struggling with what heat he needs as I've heard / read so many different things.

Less than 80 degrees for temperatures. Low to mid 70s is ideal. Looks exactly like all my baby brevs but I guess we'll see with age if he takes on any kersternii characteristics.

joeandsoph · Oct 4, 2011

Ok cool well he's at about 72 at the moment with a drop at night.

I'm sure he's deffo a Kerstenii. Look at this pic of one:

He's identical

He's ridiculously tiny and very cute, anyway

. How much do you pay for one of those?

joeandsoph · Oct 4, 2011

Well a lady near us was selling his whole set up for £60. It included food etc. But I think I'm gonna get him some little friends

Hey, I'm gonn alook into this a bit more I'll post more pics later. I mean I was pretty sure he was a Kerstenii as the breeder sold him to us as as this. But I guess it's a possibilty that he's not. It's always a possibility, these little dudes look so similar

So how can I tell, everyone says if he has a beard he's a brev but to be honest a 'beard' could mean anything and I'm unsure what I'm exactly looking for!

Like I say I'm going to try and get more pics. But thanks!

You got him from Mansfield didn't you?

I was really tempted to buy him but I already have a trio plus 3 other chams and don't have the room. I was in the area on Sunday and was really really tempted but resisted lol. I'm so glad you bought him and are giving him a good home.

joeandsoph · Oct 4, 2011

Yeh I did. Well my boyfriend did! It was a complete surprise, he fetched them yesterday and I had no idea! He used my account and told me not to look at any posts haha so I should of known something was going on hey!

What do you think to the species? Am I right or wrong? I have misex feelings on this now after reading lot's of things.

joeandsoph · Oct 4, 2011

And by the way, I don't have room either with my other 2 reptiles but sod it!!!

Aww, that's a great surprise.

The baby is really cute. As for the species I'm not sure. It looks like mine which are Kenyans but what do I know lol, they look very similar to me.

I don't mean they look like me, the species look similar lol.

I measured and re-measured to see if I could fit that viv in but it won't go in the rep room lol plus I have another 4 baby Cresties on the way at some point so I need room for them lol. If my chams have babies I will need to make room but where I don't really know.

Cute as can be! I hope it does well for you!

Please be aware that many of these little chameleons can play dead quite convincingly when startled or upset, so don't throw one out until you are positive that its dead!
