Looks v much like a female you have there. Brevicaudatus?
We kept and bred these for a while.
Great to watch in a community.

I'd be interested but not at 30 a pop.

Do you know how old the ones you have are because Rhampholeon brevicaudatus (as pictured below - is female) only live about 3 years. They happily breed without any encouragement and the eggs hatch in situ so if you are keeping all 10 together I wouldn't be suprised if some were gravid. They can stress easily if temps and humidity aren't right though.

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.
