Well, our plan for the cage is like an armoire, two identicle sides, cabinets underneath, made of nice wood to accent rather than just look like a cage. I have read that oustalet's do well in 2x2x4 or larger, so I thought that the size was ok. I know the carpets are gorgeous, and I love the...
I know this is not a close comparison. I had decided that a carpet was the way I wanted to go, until hubby chimed in. LOL. He doesn't take interest in my reptiles, so this is pretty big. So, since he's taken interest, I'm now contimplating which one to get. I would like either one. I know...
I'm in the Austin area, so not too far away. Seems like no one in Texas is into chams...not sure why. Was very disappointed when I went to the Austin reptile expo and didn't see a single one. Anyway, your info really helps me out, a lot. I wanted a male at first, but am now contemplating the...
LOL, thank you all for your input. I might admit to being spoiled, only because my husband puts up with my animal addictions, even though he has no interest what so ever in chamelons. We also have quite a few dogs, but he is interested in them. Moving on though, I agree on the WC, I really...
So...after some thought...I've decided that if I'm going to be adding a second chameleon to my collection, I'm going to build a custom cage for the two of them (or rather design one and have someone help me). I'll have a panther, and either a carpet or an oustalet's (I know, big difference...
I got my first chameleon a couple months ago, a panther, and he is doing wonderful. As many of you warned me, they are addicting. My panther has adjusted very well, and is growing well. So I was thinking I might be ready for another. I love the carpets, but don't know much about them. I did...
The bowl is under the dripped, catches the majority of water so it doesn't pool on the cage floor. I haven't coveredthe dirt. Suppose I need to go get some rocks. Thanks for the reminder.
My cham gets here tomorrow :-D Here's his cage so far. I was thinking of adding one more plant, but it's pretty full. Everything is real except for one vine, wrapped in fake leaves. May remove the leaves, haven't decided.
I'm curious to know where you all get your feeders, and how much you buy per chameleon. I will only have one....for now...and don't have room in my house to house a lot of feeders along with a cham. He will be about a 4 month old panther chameleon. I know I want to offer variety, but I'm not...
Warpdrive, thanks! I'll give those a try and see how it goes. As I said, I want to give my chameleon the best possible habitat, but have a feeling I'll be going through quite a few plants.
My first chameleon will be on his way here soon, I'm hoping next week if I can get the cage all set up in time.
I'm having a little bit of an argument with myself over his cage though. I've never had any problems with reptiles and keeping them alive, that's always been a strong point for...
Thanks all for your help. I'm still up in the air at this point. My husband has given me the go ahead on either. We've found a space for a panther, and money is not necessarily a huge issue.
Of course, the panther that I love, the tamatave, seems to be fairly rare. I always seem to have...
To go a little more in depth, my big debate is actually space and cost. I am trying to keep my costs low and would like to be able to put the chameleon in an area it can be seen, where I can enjoy it. So cost and space wise I know Pygmy is the way to go, but I absolutely love panthers, for...
Hi All,
I'm new to the chameleon world, and am debating adding either a panther or a couple pygmy chameleons to my animal collection. Curious to know what you all think about each, and which would be the better way for me to go.
My experience with reptiles in the past ranges from boas to...
