What are you using for drainage

I don't, but I'm not sure I'm going to use a pool. I haven't been able to find one anywhere near what I want.

I'd really like a flood tray, but they aren't cheap. By the way, how far will a chameleon go to get somewhere? Will he jump a long ways down?

I'll double check, either way I'll get something new. Also the pool wouldn't have much water and would have a way for him to climb back into his tree. Maybe I could grow some type of grass down there instead, something that soaked up all the water and used it.

My biggest problem is finding something to go under the thing so that water doesn't go everywhere. I'm trying to spend under $50 to do it. I'm thinking a plastic pool.

I am aware of the filtration problems. I have kept aquariums for many years. It has carbon filtration, and while I know that will do nothing to eliminate bacteria, it will remove lots of its food. Oh I am aware of how products are sold and do not work as they are intended to, but it seemed like...

I'm going to try to get him on the fountain, and it actually has leaves, it's built for chameleons. If it doesn't work then I'll put a zoomed humidifer on a timer and have it periodically mist the leaves.

Yes I will have a small coral around the free range. The room is safe, though my cockatiel does occasionally come out of his cage (daily), but it's always supervised and he hates flying and then landing anywhere that isn't my shoulder or head. I'm not totally sure, but they were previously used...

I'm preparing to order a chameleon in a month. Here's what I have so far: - Free range stand made of PVC (6 feet tall - 4 feet long - 2 feet wide) (It's pretty fun to walk in) - A shipment of plants coming: - A ficus B. (4 feet tall) - 2 Umbrella trees (not sure how tall these are, upwards...

I was more saying that it's not affecting any aspect of his physique, he moved out of it today to go skulk inbetween some plants. I will admit, it does dry out some of the plants directly below it, but I've placed plants there I want a bit dryer than my CP's, i've got a lily of the nile, a...

I wouldn't drink from anything that came out a whisper filter, let me clarify, those are terrible for filtration, it's purpose would be to move water. I'd be confident with running it through a small fluval canister. Plus, UV not only kills the cells, it breaks down the cell wall, basically all...

I've got an anole in a 29 gallon plant terrarium, he literally doesn't want to be anywhere but directly in the fan's path. I keep humidity high, nothing is ever really dry in there, plus the fan has a 15 minute shutoff, when humidity spikes and that kinda waters the plants.

Ok, this is more about filters than chameleons, but filters are great too ha ha ha. My UV generally keeps water almost perfect, just go a bit larger than what you need. Plus, even if the water doesn't look clean, if it's gone through UV, everything in it has died. UV light is amazing, it kills...

Thanks, I appreciate it, those are great references. They are all bookmarked.

Oh I didn't include a mister or his food area in that, sorry. But I'm thinking of a jackson's or a panther

By the way, heres the free range, or my idea of it. The PVC stand will have to be much more complex though, it was hard to draw with that app so I couldn't show exactly how I want it.

"Using a fan like @ArowanaLover1902 suggests is also a bad idea since you risk introducing a draft, and like with all electronics, it will brake down at the worst time possible (your holiday for example)." I'd have several fans, two for humidity, two for temperature control. But again, I'm...

Simple, just run it through a simple Whisper filter, I keep reef tanks and brackish tanks, I can keep water clean ha ha ha. If all else failed, I'd just run it through a loop in the rock where it passed a UV filter (not hard to do) and kept the water crystal clear, plus with weekly replacements...

I'd use a PC fan, but I'm now considering making a free range, that sounds better in every aspect. I've got an anole in my 29 gallon terrarium now, I caught him yesterday and he's chilling atop my hanging orchid

While I understand the difficulty of this undertaking, have you considered making a 3-D background, all you'd need is some Styrofoam, special cement, sanding tools, and paint? I really love your setup though, I'm going to have to make one now, and I don't even have the chameleon yet, but I do...
