Setup Check List

    Before you think about getting a Pygmy Chameleon, You must make sure you have all the correct equipment and Pygmy requirements.

    I have made a list of items that i think are needed for a pygmy setup.

    Exo-Terra Style Terrarium - Size depends on how many pygmies you plan on housing.

    Substrate - Exo Terra Plantation Soil / Top Soil or something similar.

    Drainage - Hydroleca and Weed Guard.

    Sphagnum Moss - Excellent for increasing the overall humidity inside the terrarium.

    Thermometer - Temperature Gauge.

    Hygrometer - Humidity Gauge.

    2% UV light - Helps with the growth real plants in your terrarium.

    Plants / Decor - House plants are ideal along with some type very small branches.

    Spray Bottle Or Misting System

    Food - Crickets / Curly Flies / Wax Moths

    Supplements- Vetark Nutrobal is ideal for dusting the live foods.

    A little bit of knowledge - Use our forums or Knowledge Base ( We are all learning something new each day ).

    Some quality time to spend with them.

    Now that you have all of the above your are fully prepared and setup to keep a Pygmy Chameleon.

      What misting system would you recommend? We have heard they aren't so good... any thoughts?

      i have 2 misting systems one for my dart frogs and the other for my pygmies, i have not had any problems with them. each pump does up to 6 nozzles in the pygmies set-ups i just used one nozzle sort of facing away from direct spraying of the pygmies, but it creates that humidity.

      I use the one available from Welcome to Pollywog.co.uk but the basic one from Dartfrog - Everything for the Amphibian Keeper is the same but without a case for the pump.
