montane pygmy chameleon?

this is the coolest cham i've ever seen

I've probably already lost the battle on previously deciding I would keep just one cham, lol. I've been furiously reading up on pygmies the past couple of weeks, and have that awesome care sheet downloaded from FLChams. I have some thinking to do, but its hard to say that I won't have to get my hands on a bearded pygmy at some point.

anyway, back to the original subject, are there any resources to learn about montane pygmies? all i've gathered is (and i have no idea how accurate this is) that they require the basic pygmy setup, but in a taller screen enclosure like the big chams, cause they like to climb. not that i would think about getting my hands on one anytime soon, (at the very least,after having a long successful experence with the beardeds) but i've always been curious about that particular species.

some one had one up for sale in the classifieds a while ago. i dont know if it got sold or not.

hmm, yea, definitely not something I'd want to get into just yet, more curious about getting info on them.

Their care is very similar to pygmy, but with higher humidity. Adding Moss in the setup help greatly. They do move a lot more than the pygmy does.

I had a trio of the accuminatus a while back and they are simply a fantastic species and I highly recommend them. They are a lot more pricey than the normal pygs but well worth it. Yes, higher humidity and little more space.

yes! They are one of my favorite. Once I'll have a chance, I'll recruit them.
I have read few information online, but basically not much known about them.

cool, sounds like a smaller scale, pygmy-friendly version of my four horned cham's setup would work

i'd have to imagine breeding something like that would be exciting. tempting as it is, though, i don't think i'd want to try that sort of thing even with a bearded pygmy yet. are they they same size as other pygmy chams like the bearded? also, great pics, are those your chams?
