Hello World!
So Jefe the Chameleon has a planted cage with a 1 ft planted tub that has a small blueberry, a mulberry, a hanging golden pothos, a grape plant, and a small little thing on the bottom and the soil is made up of coco husk, lugarti soil, and whatever I couldn't get off of the plants. There are TONS of red wigglers, isopods, and spring-tails. Don't worry he does not eat the dirt nor does he ever go to the bottom of his cage. He seems to be having dryness issues with his screen cage. (24x24x48 inches). His eyes always look as if he is dehydrated (meaning that one or more seems a little sunk in and yes I am giving him vitamins). He almost always has some stuck shed on him and a few of the little horns on his spin kinda wobble as if they are going to break off (idk what that is but I thought I'd mention it). I bought an automatic misting system and I plan to set it up but I am thinking of getting one of those 36x18x36 exo terra terrariums to see if that helps contain humidity and water for him to drink.
He doesn't use much of his cage besides the top and I thought that the foot less of height would not bother him (he is an adult btw) as like I mentioned earlier he never really moves more than a foot and a half down from the top.
I plan on using lugarti and reptisoil for the bottom of the cage and covering the dirt with lots of small plants and maybe moss. There will also be hanging plants from mag natural ledges and there will be mag naturals fake vines.
What do you guys think of a move to the exo terra? Is it worth it? I just feel that he would be happier with more humidity.
