got my cham some live plants.. what do you think?

hi all, i got my chameleon some live plants for his viv and some more fake ones. Have recently built him a bigger viv and it was looking bare so i hope he likes it now. I think it looks loads better, what do you reckon?

Here he is before i started, not looking too happy! lol



And here is his viv with the new plants in, I bought him some more fake ivy for the side, a pink fake plant and a dracaena, ficus and hibiscus.

Looking really good. maybe now ad some vines in the upper area so he can explore the viv without having to climb on the screen....

Hey Foxy! its lookin good!

As opi said add some vines in there for more accesable climbing areas....and maybe raise those live plants off the ground for more hiding areas make your cham feel more at home!

hi, the plants i got are dracaena (well i actually already had this one), this is about 12" high, the hibiscus is about 10" and the ficus is about 12" aswell. I was going to get a taller ficus but instead i got a couple and thought i would grow them.
Where can i get the vines from, havnt seen them at my local store, and how do they attach?
he likes the ivy, he has 2 lots of fake ivy now and always hides in it so i have a panic attack because i cant find him!

he isnt sitting on the UV anymore, i moved it a bit higher and since he fell off it (i did catch him) he hasnt ventured up there. I put up some mesh but he kept hanging upside down on it and i was worried so took it off again.

Thumbs up Supplies

I currently have supplied my cham with one set of vines over a branch and I feel and it has been suggested that I get more plants and branches for him. Where can I get this stuff. I like the branches that you have, where did you get those? Outside or from a supplier?

The branches I have I got from my garden. My mum used to have a tree that she chopped down and they have been drying out in the garden over the summer. I just chopped them to the right size, soaked them in boiling water for a few hours and baked them in the oven for 20 mins to dry them out before I hung them in the viv using curtain net rings.

Since you live in the UK....might be difficult to find a store ? maybe ask a senior member who knows a good website
