Impulse buy, future mini Viv

[Muddyfeet]

Ok, Only three gallons, but thinking it may be a good recovery/isolation cage for the girls after laying to let them recover.. So they wont get pestered to quickly by the male..

Or at least a ""possible" baby grow out cage.. THIS IS FOR PIGMY CHAMS Just in case someone does not note the forum..

Was is on sale at petsmart 40% off, about $27 bucks.. Nice looking tank, LED light.. may even be able to sell off/trade the filter I will not be using for a few bucks

Just need to decide if I am going to do a proper live.. or more fake/silk plastic plants with perhaps a few potted small plants, something I could tear down disinfect between residents..

What ya think? a 10 gallon would have been about the same price.. but was looking for a smaller tank.. Critter keepers are expensive, then still need to add a light..

You keep your chams in the same enclosure?

 

[Muddyfeet]

yes.. pygmy chams, they can be house communally.. their care is different than the larger species

I should have stated specifically, but did not because of the forum I was posting.. Pygmy Enclosures >>

I will Edit it you many not be the only one to ask, don't want to confuse people

FYI Hope your girl is doing better..

I think that's very cool. It's nice that it came with a light, too. I bought a couple exo terra nanos to plant up, just in case there are babies. I like the concept of a female vacation cage, to get a break from breeding.

That tank will work fine for a single girl recovery tank or a grow out tank for babies.

I use exo nanos which are similar.

Personally I feel all chams, especially Pygmys deserve live plants. That's just my opinion though.

I agree with the above, unless it's for babies I'd use live pants. For babies, plastic would be easier so it can be cleaned.

The recover cage I got from someone else reading older post.. So cannot claim ownership of that idea
but not a bad idea really in a enclosed environment the males can find them a little to easy.. something I may experiment with..

It was the nifty light that kind of sold me It is plastic to so may even be able to add some vents to it too.. something you cannot easily do with a glass tank.. so a led light, tank.. and a top I can modify.. something a little different than a standard tank.. oh what the heck
