Once I move my 2 month old veiled into a larger enclosure out his glass enclosure, I plan to use it to hold 2-3 pygmys.
I have been reading articles and such, but I still have a few questions before I buy them, I would rather be prepared for everything than have a sick chameleon.
What are the best types of pygmys to get if I wanted to get 2-3 in my tank? I want to get 2 females and 1 male, or just 1 female possibly, how often do they mate? Can they both be in there at the same time?
My tank is 30HX24LX12W is that suitable for 3 pygmys? I believe it is ~37 gallons.
I dont exactly what the hydrotron (sp?) pebbles are for, it said drainage, but I dont get how it drains if I have a glass bottom? Does it just let the water drain there to evaporate or what? Is that 100% necessary to have?
What type of soil do I use for the substurate? According to the chameleon news site, you need it but I thought it was taboo in the chameleon community?
A Reptisun 5.0 is needed of course, right?
What about basking? Do they need a basking spot? My room is always ~65 at night and ~75 during the day, we dont use heat or anything cause its arizona! :
I read that Brevs are typically the best cause they are more active, is that right?
Anything else I should know?
Thanks..
