If it may be fertile and was laid today I would try and incubate it. My pygmy tanks are also misted 2-3 times a day but sometimes the females find a dry part of the tank to dig and lay their eggs. About 10 days ago I had 3 laid this way, when I got home from work all 3 had started to dent...

Female on the left, male on the right. Once you see a few of them sexing becomes easier.

I had my first chameleon baby hatch a couple weeks back. My second baby has just hatched. Currently I have a couple baby bins setup. WIll the first baby attack the newborn if I add it to the old baby bin. Since this clutch seems to be hatching spread out it will be easier if I can add a...

I am using RO water and dont have a problem with algae. The container is also covered to keep out light.

I really know nothing about Jacksons but that baby looks healthy. Probably a good idea to get some sort of bin ready for the baby. I use rubbermaid containers with some dowels and fake plants inside for my babies. Provide a basking spot and a UVB light. The basking spot will be a little...

Loving the crested chams. They are such an awesome species.

I have been looking in the Toronto area for roughly a year now and have had no luck find any carpets.

Reptoman, Thank you for the advice. I have tried this with a small cup and an extra piece of the dowel I had remaining. There is already one cricket up top, as well as 2 climbing up the stick. Great advice.

I had a fruit fly culture, but I find they easily climb the plastic container and right out. How do people keep them inside?

I have setup some bins for my baby panthers, these bins are 12 inches wide x 15 inches high x 20 inches deep. Inside there are some wooden dowels used as highways and some fake plants for cover. They have UVB as well as a basking spot just below 80 so everything seems good. I am using some...

Thanx for the responses much appreciated. My room has an ambient of about 70 so I will be brining it up closer to 80 for a basking spot.

I will have a couple of neonate panthers needing homes in the next little while. I have bins setup for them with some sticks and fake plants as well as a used reptisun 5.0 uvb bulb. My question is what temps are ideal for the neonates. What temps for basking if required at all, and what...

Ambilobe panthers Bearded Pygmys Maybe some other chams later in the year if I decide to apply for cites paperwork.

Recently when I was doing my research for a pygmy setup I was pointed towards this article. http://www.chameleonnews.com/05JunRouthouska.html Great information on all aspects of setting up a pygmy enclosure, including what types of plants can be used.

I agree that the second picture is of a female, and I am not too sure what the coloring means. In those pics they both look pretty good.

The design of my tank and the lid will not allow me to have both a UVB fixture and a fixture for heat. I am currently looking at purchasing some clamp fixtures with a small watt bulb to hang off the side. I am hoping this will help even though it will be on the glass as opposed to on the mesh...

pssh, what are the lowest temps you tank gets down to?

I hadnt forgotten about the cleanup crew, but its cold this time of year up here in Ontario and shipping they may not be possible. Therefore I will add some springtails in the spring likely. Will the pygmy chameleons eat the springtails, or do they mostly stayed buried in the soil?

I was hoping it would be around 72 but since its in my basement its a little colder. The problem I am having is added even a small heat light would boost the temperatures in parts of the tank over 80. Since parts are already at 65. I am just a little worried these temps might be too cold...

I setup a tank for the pygmys I will be getting shortly. They will be R. Brevs (bearded). The tank is a taller tank, roughly 24 inches high and has a UVB light along the top back side. Near the top by the UVB light the temperature is 76 degrees, and down near the substrate the temperature is...
