Hi Doom,

I've kept B. superciliaris in the past and found them to be rather a pain in the butt. Lol! Beautiful chameleons, but you've got to be very careful with them. Also... DO FECALS!!! ;) (Most important part of acclimating your pygmies, but so often overlooked.)

Mine never bred, but they sure were fun and interesting. ;)

Can I add a question. Are there any species that are somewhat tolerant of higher tempertures? (80's)?
