Default pygmy chams

is it possible to keep these in groups or do normal one to an enclosure rules apply?

edit: seems it's one cham to 10 US gallons?

anyone agree with this?
and does anyone know about aggression between males?

This was a setup a good few months back,pretty similair now but with more fiscus trees in there,

males have brighter colour'd eye turrets(i will try and get a picture tomorrow),plus in general males are more colourfull,also the spines along there back are larger on males.

if you look close at the second pic thats a female in thr pic,but if you look close just to the right of her head you can see the males flank(just).

ps been thinking of selling these because i just dont have the room for all the hatchlings i am getting from my various reps(watch the classifieds .

i see what you mean about the male/female differences.

you much too far away.

i'm sure someone would take them though if you were to put them up.

i dont have any other pics at the moment sorry,

i have put them in classifieds but to be honest if they dont sell i wont be bother'd

i'll just have to gain some more room somehow (scratches head lol)

1 little tip i will say though is that often in some shops and i will stress some,there isnt alot of difference between male/female but that all depends how happy and content they are.


you will be pleased with them when you get some.they are right little caracters when they wanna be.

It dpeends highly on the species.

Some pygmy chams are fine in groups and some are not, some will work with multiple males some will not.

If you can specific about the species I can probably help.

Bit amazed we've had so muhc advice doled out by people when he hasn't even said which species, yes I know it's probably Rhampholeon Brevicaudatus but it may not be, and if not then the care info given on this thread thusfar could be waaay out.

Which species of pygmy cham are you looking at? Care varys from subtly different to hugely different form that of brevs!

Sorry mason but we have been on about brevs in the post and through pm's so any advice given is on that species,

people looking at the thread will not see the pm's so therefore could be misleading.
