awesome setup!

Now with drainage system! Took everything out and cut out drainage holes at the bottom catch tray. Then I lined with a rubber mat and made sure that the center is the lowest center of gravity. No matter where you pour water it drains to the center :) still trying to figure out a...

Can you reuse the drainage water for your drip system? Like what if I made the drain water go through some carbon back into the bucket then back into the cage?

Anyone have any links for DIY mister/dripper? Gonna post pics soon of my enclosure. Had to remove everything to create a drain system.

I don't mean to be a **** but it pains me to see people get animals they know nothing about. I am a big believer that you must do research and research to properly care for an animal, especially with needs like a cham. The second you post not knowing they are not the most hand held animal along...

Get a hamster

I have to agree with this ^^^ completely. Exotic animals are not strictly for entertainment. Especially for kids. The require time, money, and KNOWLEDGE. Please do not trade in a chameleon for another simply to possibly get a happier one. That is wrong. Get your kids a hamster.

Haha its a good name (Italian)! Yes I do hope I can provide the best care to them all.

It will be more cost effective to DIY. I made mine 38x38x18. If you go the Enclosures and Supllies Threads mine is the "New to Thread and Chameleon World...." you can see my DIY.

hopefully soon (waiting on paycheck) I am going to a 36in dual t5 fixture with 6500k bulb and a 5.0 uvb bulb. Can I set directly on my enclosure or how high should it be elevated?

I just got hired at petsmart as the fish and reptile guy. The manager said they have a really quick turn over for their reptiles. Their sections seems clean and right, they look pretty healthy for the most part. I'm actually excited to work there so I can assure the animals are in well being :)

What is a good lighting cycle for chams? 12 on 12 off? Or?

Nano reef to chameleon!

Sounds good! I'm all about variety. I feed my reef tan probably 5 different foods randomly

Thanks again everyone. I am a big believer of research and proper time and money on animals that require a good amount of attention. I will probably move that branch to a lower spot then. So because our cham enclosures have a lot in them do you let your cham hunt crickets or do you target feed more?

Alright for lighting I am looking at 36inch dual t5 fixture. 1 bulb around the 6400k for plants and the other bulb the 5.0 UVB. This should be perfect for what I need. Still need advice on ceramic bulb for heat. Temp in house drops pretty low at night. Figured I would place the t5 fixture...

Thank you! I have owned many pets and currently own 2 reef tanks and a snake. I always want the best for my exotic friends always always do research before. I will talk to Todd and I think I still want a Veiled, I like the green color a lot but we will see. I probably won't get a cham till the...

Alright I will just stick with one fixture. Also UVB can grow plants. It's spectrum along with the added UVB is meant to simulate natural sunlight. Yes the plants are all safe. I will look for more foliage and find some vine like plants to add to the gap in the middle. I will probably add a...

alright how is this? I am going to get more branches for the top left. Do I need more overall though? Do I have enough foliage? I plan on making a drip system using a simple aquarium pump to pump water through airline hosing which at the top will drip from many different holes sort of like a...

Here is it now with branches and many vertical pieces. Besides equipment do I need more branches or greens?
