I have sunk so much time and a decent amount of cash into my cham room setup so I wanted to post pictures to get your thoughts and suggestions, and also share some of the ways I have solved problems of chameleon husbandry. It is a fun challenge to figure out optimal ways to achieve the conditions that allow our chams to thrive; at the same time with an eye towards creating a beautiful, relaxing environment for both chams and me alike.
I recently painted the room as well as adding wheels to my cage racks for easy mobility while cleaning.
This is the cage setup. I have panthers Moe (R-Nosy Be) and Malcolm (L-Ambilobe) in the 2x2x4's on the ends with Arcadia T5HO 6% lights. I have two large Repitbreezes connected through the middle to create one large cage for my Jackson cham Reggie Jackson lit with a 36" T8 Arcadia. These racks do not allow room for two extra large cages, so this was my solution. Lots of zip ties involved, especially when raising the cages! There are large storage bins with beer tap bulkheads install for drainage. I have recently added a humidity controller that controls both my room humidifier and the humidifier/fogger for Reggie's cage. This way Reggie Jackson's humidity can remain higher within the same room as my panthers.
Another angle shows my expansion rack, heh heh. I plan on getting a pair of Mt Meru in the next few months when I find them. You can see my Mistking and room humidifier is strategically placed for the expansion I really like having a lot of plants in the room to give it a natural feel, and I will be adding more in the coming weeks.
Here is Reggie's cage, which is two reptibreezes put together. He loves the extra room and really allows me to provide him one cool wet side and one warmer dry side.
Reggie
Malcolm (7 months) is in a 2x2x4 Penn Plax. You should see him fired up! It has been fascinating to watch him grow over the last 3 months. Look at how long his tail is!
Moe is not enjoying the paparazzi-
