Thanks :) I wish I went this route for my first cage. Spending the extra time and money has made a huge difference so far.

Cats work well :) Loose crickets don't stand a chance in my house. I have 4, but one cat should do the trick :p

Just completed the carving portion of the rockwall. We took 6 total sheets of 2" x 14" x 48" pieces of styrofoam. I used 3 of those sheets as a backing. First I cut them to size, then I joined them together to make a giant sheet by driving some shish kabob skewers into the edges that were...

Looks awesome! I think your new baby cham will love it. :) The only thing I can think of suggesting is moving the mist nozzle to the top of the cage. Some chams like to sit under the mister, and this will help ensure that the droplets can sit on top of the leaves so your chameleon can drink...

Oh my. I've never seen a veiled in such bad shape. :( Hopefully he gets better. He deserves to live out the rest of his days with a good owner, with lots of privacy, and attention.

Thanks!! We hope to have everything completely finished before we have to go back to work on Thursday. Right now it measures approx. 2' x 4' x 4' - Mr. Pink is going to love it!

Making your own gut load out of easy to find ingredients is always better. :) For mine, I blend up butternut squash, dandelion leaves, collard greens, carrots, and orange, and freeze it in an ice cube tray. You can get about a month out of a tray of it - if you put in a new cube every other...

So, like I said before, we finished the door frames. We built them exactly like the side panels, with the brackets in the corners for extra support. On each side, we installed the hinges and made sure everything opened and shut freely by leaving a very small gap from the table top. We did...

My rockwall will be a little more flat than these, I'm hoping that he won't attempt to climb it too much. I watched another video previously where a guy made an insert for an aquarium. He carved his foam, and then afterwards he "painted" on a few thin coats of cement with a paint brush. I...

:( Sorry for your loss.

I'm really happy with how it's turned out so far. We've finished the door framing, applied the plywood backing, and measured and cut the first layer of styrofoam for the 3D rockwall. Pictures to come :) I finally found THE instructional videos I needed for carving, and painting foam to...

So we cut all of the pieces we needed. We sanded each one down a little, and sprayed them with 3 coats of black spray paint. I'm not too concerned about the conditions of most of the sides, because they will be used as the sides that we staple the screen onto, and will eventually...

If you're worried about humidity, I would use a humidifier in the same room as the cham. That should help :)

I can't wait either - but unfortunately I have to, because 2 cans of spray bomb were not enough. :p At the end of all this, I'll post the supply list, and the cost. (They'll be in Canadian though). This will include a 3d rockwall in the background. He would be able to climb it, but if I can...

First thing we wanted to tackle was the all important drainage. We were originally going to use a kitchen sink, until we happened on a strange but awesome discovery. Christmas Tree stands. Yep that's right. Turned upside down, mounted like kitchen sinks, they're a funnel with a built in...

A couple months ago my parents gave my husband and I a solid wood dining table. A few scratches - nothing special. It soon became the dumping ground for random junk. Naturally, it didn't take long for us to find a new purpose for it :) Mr. Pink's current setup serves the purpose well...

The prices are a little higher for supplies here, but I got everything I need and will be getting er done in the next couple days. Pics to come!

I love the look of them, and was going to get some as a decorative thing / hiding spot for Mr.Pink's enclosure. Swedish Ivy looks really cool too. If I see some for sale this spring I'll definitely be getting some. I can't until winter is over - I hate not being able to plant shop :(

I love the purple leaves on this kind of vine. I was wondering if anyone has tried these in there cham's enclosure, and whether or not you had any success? Pros and cons?

A chams cage should have a range of different temperatures for thermoregulation. Basking area being the hottest, and ambient being the rest of the cage. Temperatures depend on age, too. This page here explains it further: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/panther/
