I had a hibiscus in with my little veiled guy and every afternoon there were a few more bites out of the leafs. He loved to chew on it. But you do have to take it out of the enclosure from time to time for sun light and such to keep it healthy.

I used the reptile carpet on the back of my cage for the same issue of water control and it works great. As for fecal mater, it comes off very easy. The think I like about it is the crickets love to climb it which means Jabba doesn't have to climb out of the plants to eat. He can hunt at the...

The big one is a Dracaena fragrans (corn plant) that still needs to grow a trunk, there are two smaller ones. A Dracaena deremensis and a Golden pothos. I pulled them all off the live plant database. I have a Hibiscus that I might move in and out of the cage from time to time since I know...

So here is the new home for my veiled chameleon. It is an 18x18x36 screen enclosure. I hot glued reptile flooring to the back screen to help with water control and looks. Then I ran a pond pump to a splitter and have two misting heads and a drip running into the cage. I plug it in for a few...

Are the back of the cages covered? If the backs are covered you could move them to the middle of the room almost back to back with each other and they would not see each other. Then you could just move around the around them like a museum display. Although, the room divider or sheet is much...

Thank you for the suggestion. That sounds like a great plan.

I am setting up a new 18 by 18 by 36 screen enclosure. I have a misting system I have built using a pond pump in a bucket of water and misting heads attached to a splitter system. My question is how do you deal with the water that drips to the bottom of the enclosure? I was thinking of...

Thank you for the feedback. I was not reaching in to grab him more to let him climb on my finger. I will try the stick idea. That seems like a good idea.

Hi there, I was wondering what the best way to get my chameleon comfortable being held? Right now he is a little guy (around 6" nose to tail). I tried to reach in to touch him the other day and he did not like that for sure. Any thoughts on how you get them to the point where they will...

Thank you for the redirect to the blog. Very informative. I love the additional information. I can see I have a lot to get ready for in the near future with our new pet. I was just happy to see him eat 4-5 crickets today. Thanks again.

Spiral bulb.

The water bowl is empty. My son thought he needed it so I put it in but did not fill it.

Thank you both for the quick feedback. I have a light on the top with a Reptiglo 5.0 UVB bulb in it. He likes to hang from the mesh top under it to bask in the light. Red bulb is gone, no need for it. I will take out the soil matter from the bottom and replace it with ______? Or does it...

oh to answer the other questions... I live in Parker, Colorado. It is dry, dry, dry so I might set up a small drip system on the enclosure. I will ditch the red bulb and use a standard bulb for the heat source. Thanks for the advice.

Here is a picture. Sorry for the quality, I just grabbed my phone and snapped it. http://gallery.me.com/cmb001#100087 I want to make sure he has a happy home, so please provide feedback so I can take action to make him happy. Thanks, CmB

Sorry if this is covered in other threads (feel free to point me there if so). I just added a small 5" veiled chameleon to our family and have him in a 18" by 18" by 24" high glass habitat. I have the hood light with the UVB light in place and a red heat light on the side for a basking area...

You should be able to get t-joints at a pet supply store in the fish section. They have them near the pumps and tubing.
