Don't assume by my status (and if you had bothered to check me out, you would have seen that i've been about abit!) that i've not been around a bit! Clearly you HAVE'NT been around long enough to understand pain and torture of an unwitting creature!! Try put youself into a commercialied...
Well quite clearly you don't!!!! If we were all as small minded as you, then nothing would get done. As were not people like us try there best to educate and change companies that buy and sell specialised and not so specialised animals!!!!
Open a massavie can of woop arse on that store my friend! they are going to get there well deserved at some point, so it may aswell be you that does it (give'em hell) :D
That's nature i am affraid! just look at it as if it was the real forrest floor, so far it seems like your setup is bang on. Your viv does'nt have to be 100% 24/7 sunshine, just remember what a real Amazon/Madagascar forest would be like! ;)
Carlton, it's so hard to get what you want to say across in the form of a "text message" so please don't take these comminucaions as hostile! :) I just really wated to know what the experts (thats all chameleon keepers) thought of my idea of trying to be 100% ish natural ;)
Most of us have never fallen out of a tree before! however we all have the same natural instint to wake our self from a deep sleep if we think were falling to our deaths!! (any chance someone is getting where i come from???) :rolleyes:
Just remeber that the basking spot needs to be a min of 6" away from the basking area and that the UV will be inafective after 12" or more! but apart from that how do you intend on keeping the humidity at the desired level? :)
I get were your coming from! however, do the rain forests in Madagascar not have a few stormy showers through the night? it's just i am a little bit different in the respect of the normal, and i like to be original in my ideas! i just want to simulate the natural enviourment for my buddy for...
To start, you don't need to hear thunder to actually feel it! i am in the planning stage at the moment like i said. I was thinking of having a seperate light apart from the UV and basking one's (maybe the plant grow light, and have it plummed into a pc simulation programme to simulate the...
It's not about how it would help them mate! it's all about simulating there natural enviournment, as everyone keeps going on about. Why not introduce something a little different into there lifes (not really any different than introducing a different feeder, just because your bored of giving him...
Thunder and Lightning, and all thing frightening!
I am sat here watching what could be the starts of a decent thunder storm, and was wondering if we try so hard to mimic a chameleons habitat in respect to water, temp and humidity! would it be unrealistic to mimic the thunder and lightining? i...
I am looking into having one nozzel and a rain dome system linked into the same system! don't know how it wil turn out, but nether the less i am going to give it a go.
Has anyone else tried this method? and if not what are the reasons for sayig so? :D
