special delivery for me :-)

well i can finally begin.


just had all the equipment for my new chameleon enclosure delivered.



then i went to my local garden centre and picked up these 2 ficus for £30.



also the new vivarium which is still boxed for hubby to set up later but this is the vivarium i have.



i am or shall i say my husband will be cutting a large hole 2inches from the edge in the roof and putting mesh on it.

Excellent job.

Do I see a free range area in the next room???

Nick

Can't wait to see it finished!!!

It's always exciting to get your chameleon's space set-up! I love getting new packages for my chams, whether it be feeders, feeder's food, etc...it's fun

i wish that was my house lol! sorry to dissapoint you all.im dissapointed too
thats just the vivexotic website picture with the same viv i have.

mines not set up just yet.getting started in the next hour

i am doing a mini free range on the side of the vivarium.
i will upload some pics for you all to see tomorrow.

thank you all for your kind replies.
this seems like a lovely forum with a lovely bunch of experienced chameleon keepers who i am more than happy to accept any help and advise from.

i am so looking forward to getting such a wonderful creature.he will be loved and cared for very well.he will be arriving next weekend.gosh im so excited. its the first thing i think about when im waking up and the last thing i think of when i go to sleep lol.
i think im going crazy here!

He He... I thought the new one was going NEXT to the other one .

hi everyone
the viv is now made.
it has also been sealed with aquarium sealant.blimy that stuff stinks!

tonight we will drill holes in the bottom for drainage,mesh the roof and add all the decor & equipment.

this is his home only for 7 months.its 3ft high by 1.5ft deep by 2ft widei will then be upgrading to a 3ft high by 1.5ft deep by 3ft wide.



pics will be added later of it finished.

well im nearly there

just need to add the free-range on the side and im done so will post finished setup tomorrow,but for now heres a quick piccy of what it looks like.

what do you think?



im sorry my pics keep posting sideways

I think it's looking fantastic! Good job!

thankyou very much

I think it looks great as well but I would add some vent ports ideally at the front-bottom portion of the cage but you could maybe drill some 2-3inch circles on the sides and install some mesh. This will help create that chimney effect of fresh air for the cham with the mesh top you already have.

there are some vents in the plastic which the glass slides in both at the top and bottom.


the new vivexotic have just installed this in the new vivarium written here
