Pygmies, stump-tails, etc...smaller chams in general

natural_aquaria Aug 09, 2005 05:00 PM

Was just wondering if anyone can help me get more information on these guys or any species that stay small. Haven't had much luck on finding anything but the more commonly kept Chams...

Sites with info are great but if anyone keeps these or knows of a breeder, I would love to speak with them...it's always wonderful to speak directly with your information source.

Have you checked the species profiles on www.adcham.com or www.chameleonjournals.com? They will have general info on various species, but as not too many keepers have lots of experience with them there won't be a lot of husbandry info. Also, the excellent book "Chameleons, Nature's Hidden Treasures" by Petr Necas has info on them. Check with Kammerflage Kreations for this book and others.

The majority of known species are not available in the trade due to export bans on most Malagasy chams and pretty small exports on the African species. They tend to be very short lived naturally and it can be hard to get multi-generational breeding going.
