Looks pretty good. Just watch out for little bugs in the enclosure and don't wet the soil TO MUCH.

You may find that they hide a bit because of the light source.
If you get in some sturdy branches with vertical and horizontal branches. Encourage a small ivy to grow and twine around it, you will provide more places for your Chams to sit/hide but be more in the open for you to see them
If you allow time between misting, your soil shouldnt remain too wet.
Get in a little clean up crew, some woodlouse and springtails will do the trick I wouldnt worry about spending too much on tropical types, i find my pygies eat them and its a bit of a waste. Mine now come from my garden
Your enclosure looks very nice though And i wish you luck when you get your little ones

Thank Gary!
Should I be using different light??
Also where do I find springtails?

I have been wondering the same thing. You can get a free cup of springtails from LLLReptile if you buy an animal.

Depends on your location, if its the UK i may be able to pass you some links, hehe... but most of you guys are on the otherside of the pond!
What light are you using? I'm sure it is fine. Just keep an eye on your temps

my reptile room stays about 68-70 so these guys should be fine...
I just have a genaric reptile fixture and light going.....
I may buy a panther cham from lll reptile, maybe I can get some springtails this way?

Any lighting suggestions?

Have a search in the pygmy enclosure section, there are a few links to be found in there as well as threads.
Everybody does it different. It is believed that the chams themselves dont require too much light being that they are ground dwellers. Some use natural light, others use 2% bulbs mainly for their plants.
Where is your setup located? Maybe your plants will be ok with any natural sunlight, or what comes off your other rep enclosures?
