You should check out the chameleonacademy.com you can listen to the podcast if you don’t have the time to read through the website. you need a drainage tray for the water to drain into. Are you hand misting or do you use an automated misting system?

I also ordered from @jamest0o0 he is the best, so helpful and happy to share his expertise. My order will arrive tomorrow and I find that am excited. Never in a million years did I think roaches 🪳would be something I would look forward to receiving. 🤣

Have you checked out chameleonacademy.com this website has a wealth of information. Substrate is not recommended unless you are doing a bio active enclosure.

I agree, keeping plants in chameleon habitat is definitely a different set of care rules. The amount of water put in the a cage one a daily basis can easily be too much for many species of plants if the soil doesn’t drain well. I think @Flick boy was just bringing this idea of a care sheet up...

@Klyde O'Scope your plant don’t have to require the exact same care if you are not planning them in the same pot or in bio active set. If growing in pot in you enclosure you can plant them in the right soil( holds water, drains well, drains quickly but retains water and so on). You can also...

@jamest0o0 thank for you info. Dose the soil mix you it in your bins break down quickly? Do you think the partially decomposed leaves should be added to the ABG mix or are they unnecessary? My understanding is that they would add the needed micros.

Yes they do. I was just telling some that the other day. They are gorgeous prehistoric looking creatures.

They look great. The little guy in the middle photo is nice looking.

Wow that was a great series of pictures in the tidbits of information we’re great. You really take fantastic care of you insects 👍🏻 I hope I don’t become attached to them it’s hard enough feeding silkworms and then the moths to my big chams. My kids tell me that the chameleon needs them more...

It’s easy to kill plant. They are like the chameleons they live with you need to know what they need before dividing in. Or you end up doing a lot of trial and air. Plants like different soil types, different amounts of water depending on the type of plant (tropical, subtropical and so on) A...

@Andy1987 Thanks for the plant list. It’s definitely a pricey undertaking but is well worth it. I have three characters to move into bio active. They all really have the plants so I should not have to send any more on plants at lest.

@Andy1987 thanks for your recommendation I will check that soil out. Your setup looks fantastic 👍🏻 Everything comes together so nicely and is very visually appealing.

Thanks for sharing. She lovely, that must have been a wonderful trip.

I have been doing a lot of research on making soil for a bio active setup. What are your thoughts and experiences with making your own soil. I’m a 100% organic gardener with all of my indoor plants and outdoor garden and like to know what is in my soil. what have you found works best for you...

I totally understand about roaches. I don’t like them and did not want them in my house. I finally gave them a try and it was not so bad. I only get as many as I can feed in a week. I knock them into a little feeding dish/cup sprinkle them with calcium powder put them in the enclosure in the...

@jamest0o0 thanks for your advice. I’m going to order some beets and give them a try.

@jamest0o0 Thanks for the info, I may have to give in and put in substrate. Do you use Coco. core with the Isopods?

100% agree

I dislike cleaning my cricket bin as I bet a lot of people do. Cleaning crickets every evening for years is just getting old🤣 I have been thinking about adding a clean up crew to the bin. However I don’t want a bio active cricket bin at this time. Do any of you have experience with adding a...

Chameleons are an invasive species in Florida. They do eat the local insects population as well as the local lizard population. Florida fish and wildlife requires that WC chameleons be euthanized, Take to a rescue facility, or be sold to pet stores. as much as I enjoy by chameleons at the end...
