thanks for all your input, brilliant link simon just what i was looking for!! Im going to get one of those. :D

Right, I’ve had a few discussions with successful local breeders (and a few on here) and I just want to see if I am on the right track to having a good care schedule for my cham. I will soon have a 3-month-old male panther chameleon. Young Viv – Small glass enclosure, well ventilated...

Thanks brad, you seem to have quite an open mind about different caring methods, would you mind if i typed up a brief idea of how i plan on caring for my cham and you just take a look at it and offer a few suggestions?

If i had a small glass, well ventilated viv with no loose substrate (paper towels will be used), and a few branches and a plant with UV and a heat bulb keeping it at the right temps and humidity, cleaning it regularly and feeding with the right supplements etc would that be ok while its still...

and ive heard just now from the breeder i know that house bulbs can cause problems with chams eyesight. Something to do with the kind of light they emit. Oh so many different opinions with chameleons! its overwhelming....

thanks for that, it sounds like a good idea. Now while my cham is young (3 months) is it ok for him to be in a medium exo terra mesh lid viv? Ive been told people use these for younger chams as their size is good for them to hunt to food, any larger and they wont be able to catch it. The...

thanks. Just wondering, how old is your cham now and how long have you had him/her for? If you had it since it was young, what did u use as a starter enclosure? The person i am buying mine from has said a glass enclosure will last a few months but im thinking about just going straight to a flex...

yeh well im getting a temporary enclosure for my cham when i get it (its only 3 months old so 38g will prob be too big) and then im going to buy similar stuff that you have listed and that should last for a while. i dont mind replacing the flexariums as they are only £30-50 lol! much better than...

Yeah i would like to know of a precaution for power cuts (if i hear of one ill let you know), as i imagine flexs don't keep their heat for long! Lovely cham by the way! Would you say 38g is the right size for an adult in your opinion?

brilliant thanks for that! Im going to replicate that as much as i can, as i beleive its better to start out simple than to complicate things straight away and forget the basics. Have you ever had to deal with a power cut in your area with your cham?

yeah that was one idea i had, im just trying to work out how sturdy these flexariums are so i can decide on what to do. I think just attaching a sheet of plastic will be better.

oh right thats just what i needed, someone who lives in england with a flexarium! lol everyone i have spoken to in england has used semi mesh enclosures, mainly made of glass or similar. Yeah its just i thought that my room might make the flex loose too much heat but i will be running between...

thanks for that, i was under the impression you wouldnt be able to place the light on top of the flex, but it looks as though yours is similar to how i want to set mine up. would you say the zip to get into the enclosure is good, i don't want to shake the whole thing when im trying to open it...

Hi all, after several ideas scrapped i have decided that i want to get a mesh enclosure and replace 2 of the sides (back and one side) with a solid wall such as corrugated plastic, this is because The enclosure will be near a wall and i don't want issues with misting and causing damp/damage. I...

It is a Ambanja Panther Chameleon and after reading the other thread you mentioned, i am interested in getting a mesh viv and possibly replacing 2 of the sides with something solid, such as plastic and drilling holes in it for ventilation. Is there any mesh vivs that are available to me (i live...

the sides and back are blank as they are left open to suggestions. otherwise i will put large vents on those sides. thanks again

having trouble posting the design so had to link it http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/mattibee/untitled.jpg

Right first off, I know that glass/solid sides are frowned upon here, but as I live in England (a lovely cold place!) So many chameleon keepers and breeders have told me that a semi-solid enclosure is not detrimental to a chameleon’s health. I have read the issues with glass (reflections...

after going in to the shop to take a look at the chameleons i was amazed at how friendly the panther chameleons are! there was a few adult panthers and veileds and then a few babies of each and ive decided to go for a young male panther chameleon! Expected to be pretty bright colours! thanks for...

lol no worries! there are some lovely little veiled's and a few panthers in the shop near where i live. He keeps them quite well too from what ive seen.
