you have to understand that keeping a cham, especially a pigmy, is nothing like keeping a snake or bearded dragon , chams are infinitely more sensitive to everything, and much less tolerant of mistakes and neglect . Until they are well established you need to fine tune things almost daily ,and buy the time a problem is noticed, it is frequently too late, so there is little room for error, or learning as you go, my advice would be to surf all you can find on the species of your choice and chams in general , when you no longer have any questions,then you are ready to get one. the short answer is ; for those who are serious enough to learn what they got to learn and dedicated enough to do what they got to do and do it properly ,and be willing to babysit their animals until well established, then yes bearded pygmies would be an ok starter species for somebody willng to meticulously set them up , and in the right enviroment are relatively easy to breed
