    If you are a returning visitor, then you’ll have noticed I’ve changed up the look and feel behind the site. I didn’t mind the old site, however it was a bit too buggy, mainly the knowledge base and the add-ons.

    For a long time i have used phpBB and also vBulletin which in my opinion is the better of the two, the main difference for me is the cost but i believe that its worth it in the end.

    Anyway over time you will see the site change for the better, with the new knowledge base growing all the time ( editors are working on articles at the moment ), Blogs, Features etc being added.

    I am very interested in hearing your opinions, comments and ideas that you would like to see on the site.

    As always please remember this site is a community site and takes all of us to create it, so opinions, comments and ideas and valuable to me.

    Thanks and enjoy your stay

    Order: Squamata
    Family: Chamaeleonidae
    Subfamily: Brookesiinae
    Genus include: Brookesia, Rhampholeon, and Rieppeleon

    Chameleons are one of the most recognized animals in the world, from their color changing capability to their specialized tongue. Pygmy chameleons are less well know and have several differences from their larger cousins. These small, leaflike, chameleons range in size of 1-3” (3-8 cm). Like their nickname “Stump-tail” implies, their tails are small and weak or non-prehensile. Unlike their arboreal cousins, pygmy chameleons are terrestrial and spend much of their time close to the forest floor. As such, their body shapes vary by species but are designed to hid themselves on the forest floor. Most pygmy chameleons are brown in color and lack much changing ability, except darkening to regulated their temperature.

    Although lacking in size and color, pygmy chameleons more than make up for it in personality. Delightful to observe, they can be kept in small groups if properly cared for.

    See the enclosure section for further information as their requirements are different from other Chameleons.

    Chameleons are easily stressed and handling should be kept to an absolute minimum. You should only handle your chameleon when doing health checks or when necessary for enclosure cleaning.
