Seems like quite the experiment to just "see what'll happen..." Is there a purpose for putting the two species together? Is it just for looks or out of lack of space for the animals? Just wondering, not sure why this would be a favorable situation really.
Also, is there any 'chameleon...
You should be supplementing calcium without D3 almost everyday!! Calcium with D3 about twice a month & multivitamin about once a month! Just lightly dust whatever feeders you are giving him with the supplements.

Currently I'm using a RepSun 18" 5.0 bulb & a 40 watt basking light over a cage that's 36" tall, 30" wide & 18" deep. I'll eventually get a 36" double fixture with a 5.0 & a 6500K flouro for plant growth help & extra light.

If you haven't received you cham yet you should definitely look into it. I'd start by contacting FLchams first & see when it shipped out, if it did, find out what happened to the package ASAP!!! Could mean life or death with you chameleon if the package got...

However, chameleons are extremely sensitive lizards & keeping it in the shed is not a good idea at all, especially in Ontario. I know your winters are...
Great looking outdoor cages Jim! Really nice! I bet you have some extremely happy chameleons in there! :D
Was wondering, is there any function behind make the sides of the cages slanted instead of completely vertical? Didn't know if it were just for looks/design, or it had something to do...
Man Dooley, those are some awesome pictures!!! I especially love the last one of the cristatus. :D You really have some beautiful chameleons! Thanks for posting them!
Were you planning on using flat "bulletin board" type cork or natural cork bark?
Cork bark is great background material, however it's pretty expensive! Hopefully it's cheaper in Canada than it is here in the US. You can get sheet cork for bulletin board purposes much cheaper, but it doesn't...
