Yeah, true reptile only stores, there is one small one that mainly just sells reptiles, one that specializes in reptiles and amphibians but again mainly just sells the animals, and the third is a general pet store. I've got one pet store I can go to for reptile supplies, but it's limited stock...

I definitely will, I also realized that they are filming the Last of Us in the city right now and they have vines, not sure if they are natural or artificial, but it's a possibility of acquiring them once they are done shooting. Also I did not mean to hijack the thread, however it's relevant as...

I don't even have much choice for garden centres, there's home depot that has terrible selection to begin with and basically two major garden centres in Calgary, another just outside the city. And most of the garden centres focus on stuff that is able to easily grow in our climate. I have found...

A lot of the tropical plant businesses provide a rental type service. I live right by a garden center and check every week for Madagascar jasmine and haven't seen it in two years of searching. Edmonton is a possibility, however that's an entire day's trip which isn't the most feasible while...

Yeah, been trying to find it locally for two years with no luck.

That's someone to ask someone more experienced than me lol I have one in the bottom of my enclosure to deal with mites. I still have to inoculate my plants with springtails.

I would take you up on that offer. Except international shipping might complicate things.

I wish lol I live in Alberta, to my knowledge, no native vine plants that would work.

Thank you, it's apparently a easy plant to obtain, but I searched for two years to find it locally with no lucky. Hopefully they ship to Canada. I'll have to check it out, but thank you for the link.

Agreed on the exoterra and I'm not looking to argue either. I used exoterra in past and saw the issues, hence why I had a fake vine built from scratch for my bioactive build that is temporary and will be removed once the Pothos grow in as I would like to limit the amount of artificial materials...

Technically you run an equal risk even with a natural branch, if a cham bites of a large chunk of a natural branch, it can cause the same issues. There really isn't a right or wrong answer as we can't control the behaviour of our chameleons, but we can alter their environment to limit the...

And there are inherent issues with collecting vines from the wild as well. Ultimately, whatever you choose to use, you have to make sure that it will be safe for the chameleon in every way.

They do, but I added one small one after the custodians had established a population and I've got a breeder colony of my cleanup crew in case it becomes an issue.

Yeah, for me I added a single centipede for this purpose native to Madagascar.

In all honesty, I wanted to go and make my bioactive build as close to a Panther chameleons natural environment as possible, but it's not easy getting plants native to Madagascar where I live so I had to modify it. By the way @Klyde O'Scope, your bias is showing.

Trust me, your way is but unfortunately I don't live where you are so I have to adapt to the resources that are available. I also live in an area that is low humidity so free ranging is a no go for me even though I would love to do a free range setup.

Trust me, I agree. I'm using fake vines until the plants grow in enough, then I'll be removing them. The small exoterra vines are the worst and I only used them in past as I was limited in what I could build. I think flukers makes one and I've looked at it and it looks like it would have the...

I think my friend used a YouTube video as a guide to make them. I'll ask them. I have been lucky with having no issues with the fake vines, but I've seen the downfalls of them so I tried to avoid using them.

I'm not using the Exoterra vines, I use to, but I got someone to build a similar to an Exoterra for the bioactive build I've got. Still a wire base, covered in paper for bulkiness, but then they diverge. I got them built by a friend of mine. They look very similar to exoterra vines though. I...

Well, Chandler has a sleeping spot, seems to hover around 70% humidity at night but gets proper airflow and does drop overnight. It's also halfway through the enclosure. He could choose higher up for less humidity or lower down for more but apparently he likes 70%. In the time it took me to...
