New Pygmy Chamelions

Move the heatpad The Exo Terras are made of polystyrene, same stuff used for insulating houses, practically no heat will be going into the tank like that.

Great critters though!

Will do, i thought that since polystyrene holds heat it would hold the heat for longer?

The heat would have to penetrate the poly for the heat to be held........One can't happen without the other.......

Beautiful chameleons. That tanks is awesome too, it looks like a plug and play setup.

Polystyrene doesn't absorb heat, it blocks it, it's used in houses to block the warm air inside having contact with the cold brick walls, and thus being absorbed Maybe try putting the stip on the outside of one of the sides, that way you can keep the cool background in the tank?

No worries! I see you've got a little group of them, do you know their sexes? Any breeding plans? I've come across them a couple of times and would really like to have a little breeding colony, but I just don't have the time for them at the moment.

It's nice that your parent's share your interests I'm at university away from home, and leave my collection under the care of my mother during the week. She sees them more as a chore, but I'm thankful she does help!
