Question about Pygmy Chameleon

[GarterPython]

I am making a tank in my wall for Pygmy Chameleon's and would like to know if they are able to go in with like a pond type thing at the bottom. My dad wants to make a Paudarium (I think that is how you spell it) with fish in the water at the bottom. Is it possible to do that with this chameleon? (the fish will not be poisonous or anything)

You will have a drowned pygmy in no time flat - sorry.

KK thanks! Thats why I am asking

It might work better with dart frogs. I dont know about the fish though.

 

[GarterPython]

We will probably just do anoles and day geckos and some types of tree frogs then

 

[pssh]

Mixing species is usually not a good idea. I don't know about those particular species, but for the most part, the animals do best when they are alone or only have others of the same species (in the appropriate sex ratios) in one appropriately sized cage.

 

[GarterPython]

I have read many things for places that I trust, espectially books that say it is okay to house anoles, day geckos and tree frogs together as long as they have the same husbandry.

"ok" is a relative term.


Is your goal for the animals to stay alive? Can easiy mix species.

If your goal for the animal to have the "best" conditions it can? Very hard to mix species


but as they said, pygmy will drop in a tiny bit of water and i do mean tiny!
