Hey everyone thanks for your suggestions its been very helpful so far.What i have been using in my other setups is reptisun 5.o uvb with 20w t8 glo(life-glo)tubes,the 20w t8 life-glo is actualy very good for taller plants close to the lights but much less affective for the smaller ones,i have...

T5 bulbs for chameleons,that interesting!I know that they are used in hydroponics and planted aquariums(they are very good to grow plants),but will they provide the light spectrum necessary for chameleons!!!!!Ho by the way super nice calumma parsonii,i like the big cham species,tried to find one...

Thanks for your suggestion that combo is what im using in the free range area,placed 12 inch from my chams hang out spot with no screen obstructing the lights IT IS VERY GOOD,but what is confusing me is all those reviews saying the 10.0 would be a better linear fluorescent tube for a large...

Hi steve and welcome to chameleon forums,english is my second language also but the people on the forums are nice and understanding have fun!!

I was thinking of using 48 inch linear fluorescent tubes like(exo terra repti glo 10.0) or a (zoo med reptisun 10.0) but i have never used them before,would it be ok to use for a cage of this size or do you think the 5.0,maybe the 5.0 combine with a 2.0 would be better,i want the best for my...

Ho yes i forgot to mention im using aluminum screen on the top of the cage.

Hey everyone!Im in the process of finishing a custom(5x5x7.5)screen cage for my trioceros melleri,i was just wondering what type of lighting systems would you suggest for a cage of this size.Ill post my pics in 2-3 weeks wen ill finish the stain and clear coats.

Ho!Not again!Sorry about the mistakes,english is my second language.1rst reply(board not bord)2nd reply(grid not grind)sorry about that!!!!!

Wow!Thats a big project,a lot of people cant imagine how long it takes to plan and built something like that,trust me i know,i build all my cages and free range my self,yeah after a lot of time and hard work you just need to take a break,pfffff im at the same point,im in the process of finishing...

Ho yeah!I agree with Lisa if your curio cabinet is built with cheep press boards water will wreck it in no time,but if only the top and bottom boards are built with press boards then go for it you will have to scrap those boards anyway.

Next the 2nd problem is the original wood finish of the cabinet is not good for a chameleon enclosure,you will have to sand the original finish to the bare wood using a 120 grind sand paper also sand all the new sections to perfection,then stain it using a waterbased stain like(saman waterbased...

Well if it is solid wood like(pine,maple,oak,tek...)in my opinion its possible to do something with it and well worth it if you have wood working skills are know someone with skills.1st problem,its not deep enough so you must take out the 15 inch sections(side frames and the side...

Wooo!Sorry about the mistake,english is my second language(CAGE not cadge).

A common mistake chameleon keepers building a large cadge or free range habitat make is that in general the last thing they think of is how to drain the exess water,now here is what i use and in my opinion the best way to drain a large habitat is by using a professional...

Man i really like this desing GOOD JOB,but i agree with GLITCH you should use a wood stain and protect it with a clear coat,WHY to protect your wood and your cameleons from (molds,spores,bacterias,rotten wood etc...........) use a waterbased stain like (SAMAN WATERBASED WOOD STAIN) its none...

Its beautiful!A perfectionist you are,i see that a lot of thinking and planning whent in to your setup,i specially like the colors and foliage contrast of your plants,really nice tropical look,to me this cage is a perfect example of a good furcifer pardalis enclosure.Bet you a nice big Pothos...

(Second reply part 3) Marty dont get me wrong,i personally use your misting systems and i think it is the best of the best and i understand why your selling battery powered relay timers 50% of chameleon owners dont have proper chameleon rooms and photocells might be effected,so if you have to...

(Second reply part 2)I have learned by my mistake,today i depend on a cycle timer(IGS-011)cycle timers are very simple and very advanced,they use microprocessor timing circuitry thats why they are more expensive,the switching action is a solid state relay energizing on each cycle,a solid state...

(Second reply part 1) I ll add to my first reply,there are different types of timers that work in different ways(delay on make,delay on break,interval,single shot,cycle timers...)now technology costs money and the only way to manufacture a cheap timer is by using a battery powered relay and no...

This reply is really about the simple fact that humidity requirement can be confusing,Thats why im being careful and say--(IN MOST CASES)--when i talk about humidity related subjects because in most cases it really depends on where you live,you could have an empty cage and still have 80%...
