I turned a spare bedroom into a free range for my melleri.

Just received a new Melleri over the weekend, it might possibly be a female, so for now I'll refer to it as a female. She is dehydrated, so Im giving her 3, 30min showers a day, and gave her a 3 hour shower when I received her. My free range has a mist king system on it, and I use RO/DI water...

I just received a new melleri over the weekend, it might possibly be a female. She's still very dehydrated from shipping, and very aggressive. She tries to bite at anyone who gets withing a few feet of her. The picture shows the soaker hose I used as vines. The second picture is very dark, but I...

I've only seen one of those in the wild ever. Apparently they're more common in chameleon habitats. I don't know what they eat, but can't imagine they have all that much nutritional value based on their body size. Leland

That's an awesome idea to coat the braided wire in glue & bond substrates to it. I would need 75-100' of it, which could be a massive task to make. I ended up using sections of soaker hose with a wire sleeved through the center of it, and it turned out great. I'll post some pictures tonight...

Thanks for the ideas, I never thought of twisting the extension cords together. I'll be doing that for sure! lol. Leland

I thought about using green or brown extension cords, but I think they're too flimsy for my melleri.

Occasionally I'll find a huge praying mantis outside, like 6-8" big, and my melleri love them! My male melleri literally runs like there's a fire when I release one in his free range. Here's a pic of him eating a especially big one. Sorry, I can't seem to get the image to turn, even if I turn...

I had one dig literally all night. I removed her the next morning and put her up high in the cage to rehydrate and warm up. She immediately crawled down and stared at the bottom of her cage where the container of sand had been. After I removed the eggs, I put the container of sand back in her...

I've been contemplating a way to make my own artificial vines for my Melleri free range room. I'd like to put eye-screws in the ceiling and loop the "vines" all around the room from plant to plant, above head level. My first thought was to use some heavy plastic braided rope, the kind that's...
