Nice, actually now that I think about it I think that may be too small for any chams :/ but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe a nice tarantula or scorpion or some frogs(I prefer my frogs in bigger setups)

awww :C i was hoping it could many fit in a pygmy. im afraid if i get any other kind of pet i might get bored cause chameleon seems to be the only pet that i dont get bored with

You might make that work with a Peacock. It's a bit short, normally I'd say you want at least 2 feet, but it could work.

They are very tiny. Here's an article about them: http://www.chameleonnews.com/05FebCoraggio.html

And, here's a picture of mine (this will give you an idea of size, it's a male, so a female might be smaller).

And, just in case you're thinking it, I am not a giant. I have very average sized hands (I wear a 6 1/2 glove, a 6 3/4 ring and yes, I know it's weird that I know that).

i would need to know for sure if i can place Peacocks in my terrarium with out them being stress. if i do get one i want it to be perfect for them

You're six inches shy of what I think the ideal is...that's not so much. Make sure the enclosure is really full of live plant(s). I have one giant pothos hanging in the middle of the cage and the vines are pinned around the enclosure. Lots of leaves to hide behind seem to be a good thing (plus, I get so much "where the heck is that guy?" time....I mean, look at him! He's the size, shape and color of a leaf).

One thing that might make it more likely to succeed is draping 2 or 3 sides with dark fabric so the chameleon can't see what's "outside".

 

[chipop]

is it a good idea to hide the out side for the chameleon?

 

[Elizadolots]

I think so. I might be a weirdo though. I think they act as though they feel safer if they cannot see past their "area" on a few sides. They don't prowl quite as much, they spend more time near the top.

how much does peacock cham go for? and where can I get cb?
