I recently aquired this chameleon listed in this thread.
https://www.chameleonforums.com/my-new-male-veiled-14794/
He is 4 months old and looks very healthy. The person I got him from really knew what he was doing. I've spent some time today looking at all the various vendors listed on this website for a new complete screened setup since the one I have now is glass and soon Skittles will outgrow his current cage.
I would like this setup to last him the rest of his life excluding any plants I want to change up.
24x24x48 Alumnium Screened Cage from illreptile $79.00
Zoo Med 24" Combination Reptile Hood $56.99
2 Zoo Med 60 watt day bulb $4.79 each
Zoo Med 24" Repti Sun 5.0 UVB bulb $13.99
Zilla Digital Thermometer / Hygrometer with probe $19.99
Sticky Tongue Minerall INDOOR formula $5.59
I already have the HerpMist automatic watering system that will be used. I also have a little dripper from the current setup that will be reused.
A few questions
1. The combination light fixture
Should I get this or get a 5 1/2in clamp light with 75 watt bulb (that has the metal inside the bulb to direct the light down and a seperate fixture for a 24in or 18in UV light?
I thought the combination fixture would be nice to keep the lighting even in the cage and not have the top of hte cage be crammed with fixtures. The thing I don't like is I can't really use those better heat bulbs with the combination fixture becuase the lights point off to the sites of the fixture.
2. Do I need anymore supplements then I have listed?
3. Does anyone with experience with these lllreptile cages know if they have a pvc bottom in them? If not; am I able to purchase one to catch water and for easy cleanup? The details on the cage are pretty poor on the website and they make no mention if the bottom slides out or the bottom door opens. Maybe someone who has one can shed some light on this.
4. Does this all look like a good deal and more importantly am I getting the right stuff here?
