That is just brilliant! Thanks a lot for sharing that Cainschams. Can't believe I never thought of that. Obviously I'll be very discerning of anything it catches and ensure it is safe for my panthers.
I use aviation safety wire, which fits right through the mesh and twists up nicely. Many people will use floral wire in 20+ gauge. You can find it in arts and crafts stores that sell floral stuff.
Thanks for the advice carol5208. I will be keeping a close eye on their temps and their reactions. Glad I got dimmable lamps, as I will try for a slightly lower temp. The basking site is about 5-6 inches under the dome lamp, and my temperature was recorded at that point.
Thanks for the quick responses! I will be getting some smooth rocks soon to cover the soil. I will be getting a nice digital humidity meter as well, and will compare all my humidity gauges and let you guys know how they compare over time. I know from years of fish keeping that no gauge is either...
Hey everyone, after much research (and much abuse of the wallet), I have setup enclosures for my future pair of 3 month old Ambilobe panthers. These will be my first chameleons, but I am not new to herps. I will be receiving them late this month from the wonderful people at Kammerflage...
Reminds me of those crazy "cat" ladies who install lots of in-wall tunnels and tall scratching posts for their cats. Lindsey, you're the "crazy" Cham lady! :) Good job.
Also, a close member of Liddy's family has been very ill (cancer), and this may have kept her very busy in recent times. I'm sure she wouldn't mind me posting this, as she has brought it up in our phone conversations. Everyone that knows her, please wish her family well!
