Ive been trying to find a thread full of enclosure photos but so far to no avail

Ive decided to buy my third cham, a Mellers. I have a 100g tank (something like 30" x 17" x 47"). I've bought two drippers (a large for the cham and small for the plants), UV tube and bulb and a flexi-tray to go around my flexi-vivarium.

I really wanted to get some new ideas for the tank. I know alot of people put just a towel down, but I was trying to think of something different.

Does anyone have any suggestions for my species of chameleon, or know for alot of photos I can take ideas from?

thanks,

Is the Meller's a baby?
That enclosure is really small.
Check out the meller's habitat article in the latest e-zine

Here is a photo of our current Melleri enclosure:



And other cages we have tried, but have found that the free roam is more successful:



I would highly recommend researching on www.melleridiscovery.com
A lot of info is provided pertaining to living conditions and general husbandry.

yes, the mellers is a baby, currently 5" i understand. I've never considered free-roam.

Liz-I was told the Mellers and the heat was a big no-no and you have them outside? Are they doing OK?

what sort of Heat are you guys talking? I live in the UK and dont suffer the hot temps you guys do.
Its going to be housed indoors most likely.

Where Liz and I are in Tampa, FL it is in the low 90's everyday this time of year. I have a Mellers that is a few weeks old now and he is housed indoors.

do you have any photos of your setup Julirs?
Im starting to think the mesh cage I have now may be ok for a few weeks/months, but may move onto just an open cage, and have plenty of plants outside the mesh cage.

Also, I was wondering if UK mellers are going to be the same size as the ones abroad?

Since Major Mellers is still very young (hatched 05/28) he is still "tubbing" it!
Here are some pics I just now took...




Won't be long before I move him into a "Big Boy Cage"!

wow, thanks for the pictures.
How do you generally find your mellers for handling?
