I have that same drop in temp from top to bottom. I would also like to know if that is ok.

Wondering if anyone have suggestions on what I can do to limit the amount of excess water that collects at the bottom of my cage. It is glass on the bottom so I can't think of a way to create a drainage, unless I find something that can drill a hole through the glass (inexpensive way). I do...

Same questions. Here are some specifics. I have a 24(h)x24(D)x18(w). I am planning to put a few perches at least 5" from the top for basking. The panther chameleon will be about 3-4 months old. What wattage (at least) clear house light bulb would I need? I would like to start off low then...

I plan on putting some wooden dowels in my chameleon enclosure to use as horizontal perches. What can I use to keep it from rotting from the moisture due to misting? Any non-toxic sealants?

Yes. That is my plan. My enclosure has a top screen and part of the front is screened. The rest of the sides is glass.

Anyone think it would be a good idea to use small computer fans to create additional air flow for a chameleon enclosure. I think the small amount of air flow from a computer fan would mimic the breeze the chameleon would get in their natural habitat. Good idea or more problems would arise...

I would definitely buy these crickets if they don't chirp.

Has anyone heard of doing this? There is a reptile owner with many years of experience recommended that I use a specific brand of dog calcium supplement for my chameleon. (don't remember name of brand). He stated that many gecko and bearded dragon breeders use the brand of calcium to dust their...

I am planning on using Dubia roaches as my panther chameleon's staple food. Is there any concerns for doing this? I don't want to keep crickets in the house, that will drive my wife crazy. I have heard from other reptile owners that Dubia roaches are more nutritious than crickets.

I am glad I saw this post. These would have been the same questions I would be asking once I get my ambilobe panther. Awesome.

Thanks for the input. I ordered one from Joshsfrog

I want to make it as natural as possible. I really don't like a plastic pot with a plant in the middle of enclosure. I guess I can always go all artificial.

I know having substrate in a chameleon enclosure could be potentially dangerous. However, is there any way to safely have substrate. For instance, what if a good layer of leaf litter was put over the soil? Enough leaf litter so that it would take some physical digger to get to the soil? Has...

Would it be worth my investment in a Mist King mister for just one chameleon?

Forgive me if this question is stupid. I am still a newbie. I am assuming that you load up the crickets or whatever bug into the container? This is to keep the bugs from just staying on the ground and make it easier for the chameleon to get to?
