First, your cage isn't large enough for very many species, even a single cham. Possibly a smaller subspecies of Fisher's, but not B. fischeri fischeri or B. fischeri multituberculatum. They need more space as they are quite active. But, they won't do well in your climate...too hot. Jacksoni will also get too hot. Keeping any cham outdoors in FL will not be all that easy, as most species need a temp drop at night...at least 10-15 degrees. I'm not saying it can't be done, it will just take careful planning for shade, lots of water, and some way to give them cooler temps during the hot seasons. Parsoni are much too big and will cost you serious bucks! Most parsoni breeders will be very selective about who they sell their chams to, and it won't likely be a good beginner species. Veileds possibly, but you really need a bigger cage. I think you should look into a large cage first as it will give you more options. As for breeding, you will either need a much larger space such as a greenhouse or plan on keeping the chams separately most of the time. I'd rather you find all this out before you end up with any cham, than find out later and have to scramble to fix problems.
