    New Cage Build!

    Thanks everyone! To address a few things: - I plan on getting way more vines and things to climb on, so that's coming soon - The door is a little off, yes, it kind of slanted after I put it on, haha, but it's no problem at all because if crickets get out of a feeding bowl I put them in...

    Pothos and Golden Pothos? Difference or same?

    Hi all, I found some really good deals on "Pothos" plants at Home Depot. What I'm confused about is that I know "Golden Pothos" is a safe plant for chameleons, but this plant is just labeled "Pothos". I'm pretty sure the plant is safe but I wanted to run it by you guys and see what anyone...

    MESH Discussion - Best Practices

    As far as metal is concerned, o saw Galvanized Zinc mesh. Does anyone have experience with that? Is it alright to use or would it be unhealthy?

    Humidity Distribution

    Hello everyone, quick question: let's say a cage size is 2' x 2' x 4' or something, it doesn't matter really. Does anyone have hygrometers at multiple levels of their cage and get different reading or does humidity tend to be the same throughout the cage, from top to bottom?
