Here are some pics from when I kept them (sorry they're so large!):
![]() R. brevicaudatus male (displaying colours) ![]() R. brevicaudatus female (these don't tend to change colour, they may change shade depending on their mood like most other chams) ![]() Female on Ficus bejamina plant ![]() Female on palm plant (can't remember type) They mature at 3 months and breed without any encouragement. Tend to lay about a dozen eggs which can be left in situ. Hatchlings then need removing to smaller enclosure to be able to find food successfully. UV requirement is still under debate (mine had a UV tube from a fish tank so did not produce UV-B). Keep them at room temp - exposure to high temps can be fatal, as can prolongued exposure to cold temps. Live plants are useful for keeping the humidity up, a substrate of 2-3 " of dirt is required for eggs to be laid to avoid them digging in the plant pots. Mist them lightly once in the morning and once in the evening. Very cool species to keep. If you look at the 2 pygmy chams above they both have a little "tuft" beneath their chin - hence the common name Bearded Pygmy Chameleon.
