Pygs are good in the exos...and I would suggest would make a great started chameleon. Some people keep chams with high humidity requirements such as montanes in them, but I wouldn't recommend them!
I know a few people who keep carpet chams (Furcifer lateralis) in exos, so perhaps worth...
Thanks guys...great advice...I think I will be able to manage seperate enclosures...My female is hopefully about 3 weeks gone...so have plenty of time for provisions. It could fall at a hot time of year...so will absolutely have Air con by then! :)
I'm planning to keep the rudis outside this...
Blimey! That short! Thanks...might have some babies fairly soon then. thanks Donde...
Anyone else have experience of how long they hold their young for?
Does anyone have any experience of the gestation period length for rudis chams. I can't find any figures in books or on the web (although Necas book has figures for bitans, which I suppose are similar)
Thanks :)

Thanks Trace...
The gutloads I use are generally cabbage, broccoli, peppers, spinach, lettuce the odd bit of carrot...will try some dandelion too :) I may start growing dandelion in some of my vivs too...I here they are a suitable food plant for some chams.
I will post some more pics in...
I am hooking her up with a male soon...hard to track one down...most of them are from mainland Europe in some way shape or form, as there's not many with import lisences apperently. She is captive bred bby someone local to me. She looks pretty dull in that photo...but I'll try to get some...
