Thanks Melble, will definitely look into it. Will need to find the equivalent in the UK.Was thinking about doing something similar on a few sides of the enclosure to help keep the humidity in. Do they come as transparent or do they have different tints etc?
I bought this 60cmx60cm gardening tray from amazon which holds 25 litres / 5.5 Gallons of water.

I then got an acrylic perspex cut to size at i think 65cm x 65cm which should accommodate for a future upgrade to the...
I recently picked up a second hand Lytro camera (the 1st gen) on ebay and have been excitedly playing with it. Could only get a few shots in this evening as Nosy wanted to start getting ready to sleep, but I think the potential for some really nice shots are there.
I think my goal is to get a...
From my experience, the smell usually comes from dead crickets (as they don't really have a long lifespan) on top of that all the poo and little vegetable scraps they leave scattered around. If you don't want them to smell then you are going to have clean all the mess/dead out quite frequently...
When we took our cham to the vets we took a cardboard box and poked a branch through the sides so it runs through the middle, lined the bottom with a towel, and my girlfriend held the box all the way in the car. In the beginning you could hear Nosy scratching around, but he soon settled down...
Also off topic but I found JannB's blog for new keepers very helpful

She also talks about how female chameleons setups are different.
Hope this helps
Is she doing this continuously or just every now and then when she's basking. If she's doing it every now and then just keep an eye on her. If she's got excess mucus in her mouth then she could be showing signs of a respiratory infection.
Symptoms to watch out for:
The presence of increased...
hey CaptainNemo, yea i saw someone post that on here a while ago. Looks really cool. Here's a video of it in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ2nMKNZ8Uo.
Not sure how it would work in my setup though. It attaches by suction cups so I would need to tie it to the screen, which will make it...
Is she gaping while basking? When a chameleon gapes it's usually a sign that it's too hot. So double check your basking temperature just to make sure the basking spot is not too hot. If it's too hot try and raise your basking bulb a few inches or change to a lower wattage. If your basking...
He he yes dlegare, you have already read my mind. I've already upgraded to a larger capacity reservoir and am seeing if I can build my own pump to raindome. I'm presuming pressure is going to be a problem for adequate misting so if the DIY version doesn't work then I think i'll look for a...
Hey zlew,
The way the plant is designed it is supposed to work like a waterfall using recycled water. See the video below

I'm not a fan of the idea of my cham drinking recycled water that he could have poo'd in so the water from the reservoir runs...
I used this method which I think I got from http://muchadoaboutchameleons.blogspot.co.uk/
I bought a nice little tree for my chameleon to sit on outside his enclosure. First I put the tree right in front of the enclosure with branches actually going inside so he can easily climb onto it. Waited...
I bought quite a few Exo terra vines, the small version, and then twisted and linked them all together to create a nice long twisted vine. Then spiral the vine from the bottom of the enclosure up to his basking spot attached to the sides by twisting ties. Somewhat like a spiral staircase but...
