Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Im looking for a small species 2'-3' but no pygmy please lol, so if any one can help that would be great, Thanks Hugo B

Do you mean 2-3 inches TOTAL length or 2-3 inches snout to vent?

If you mean total length you are limited to pygmy leaf species. For snout to vent length there are a few, but not commonly available and usually not for newbies as most will be imports, stressed, trickier to acclimate and deal with medical issues.

For a good datebase of known species I'd suggest visiting the ADCHAM.com website. There is a very active cham forum with a lot of members who might have some suggestions. Go to the www.chameleonforums website and do some searching around on species info.

Thank you, I prob will try a pygmy at first

You can get healthy captive bred bearded pygmy (Rieppeleon brevicaudatus) from several cham breeders. They are pretty neat little animals that can be kept in the more classic type glass sided terrariums. The chameleonforums website has a lot of info on their care and links to breeders.

Thanks allot I deal with bigger reptiles like gators and pythons but I just gave my friend that owns a small zoo a Jackson and I fell in love lol but I will def look in to the pygmy's, Thanks again Hugo B
