go to screameleon.com and read up on the a glass aquarium isnt enough ventalation and they need to be taller then long. And need to keep humidity up there is alot more to them then you think

And with the whole cricket problem feed it dubia roaches, you can start a colony of them in a 20gal. They don't smell and eat little. Plus roaches r the best feed for chameleons. Crickets can chew on there skin if left in the cage alive

An exo-terra vivarium should have plenty of ventilation.

Considering on that website I posted a link to she breeds her pygmys in a glass aquarium, I see no reason why I couldn't keep it in there.

Right now the store only has one pygmy in stock, but eventually if they get any more in I can go buy it a mate :naughty:

The only problem with all of this is that mom is still not convinced. She came downstairs this morning, looked at the tank and told me it looked good, but that she wants no more animals that eat crickets... I'm seriously considering telling her they only eat mealworms because my dad and I always buy the crickets without my mom anyways, and a dozen is only a dollar more.

You can give them size 2 crickets & fruit fly's.
 
there's no way these guys could eat dubias (maybe freshly hatched but thats about it). At work they get a variety of small insects and they do seem to do better with each other

pygmys shouldnt even be considered chameleons in that respect. you dont have any idea what your preaching.
 
Well guys, I had a choice between $100 worth of any kind of fish I wanted or $25 for the chameleon. My mom asked me which I would enjoy more and off we went to the LFS. She looked at the goldfish for a few minutes and then I got her to come see the chameleon. She thought he was absolutely adorable (he's only an inch long), and my dad convinced her no crickets would get out. Now I have a very adorable little pygmy chameleon! (My dad is also taking me next weekend to get some fish :naughty: ) When I transfered him to the tank from the moving container he crawled up on my finger and down onto the branches in the tank. My mom is officialy in love with him!

Sory I read up on regular chams and didn't realise there was a major difference besides size.
 
thats good, but for the most part don't handle them unless necessary, it is very stressful for them, he will be happier to be in his cage to just hang out.
