:D Sure! We have a spare bedroom downstairs very close to the aquarium and chameleon enclosure. I'll take some more pics tomorrow when the halides are on. The light coming from the halide pushes through the larger tree branches creating what looks to be very much like natural sun beams. I...

Sorry for the delay in getting up new pics of my open air enclosure. Progress was delayed during my vacation but I finally have the base pedastel in place with the drain system installed. The floating canopy with all lighting (4 48" flourescents and 2 70 watt spot halides), timers, and the 4...

I believe the brass nozzles require a very high PSI pump to run them.

I second www.simplisticmisting.com. I just ordered 10 of them with the PVC connectors at a great price. Lorraine was great to work with. I recommend the 'red' colored nozzles that are low flow and produce a very fine mist.

This is a perfect panther! WOW! Love those colors and its size! Great job!

All of the above systems are great and of top notch quality. But, if you have some DIY abilities, you can fabricate your own system for much less than these store packages. I'm currently fabricating my own DIY misting system. You can buy a very good 115 Volt shurflo diaphragm pump off of ebay...

Congratulations! They are awesome! Great job!

It seems that they have been together for a year now, which is plenty of time for one of them to have stressed the other "to the max". So, either he has a male and female that cohabitate well, or he has two females :) I believe that it is very possible for a pair of chameleons, maybe more, to...

Thanks roo!

I'd have to rank them as follows: 1. parsonii parsonii 2. parsonii globifer 3. c. quadricornis I'm partial to the temperate plateau/mountain species. Just love the greens and subtle blues.

Hello Heika. The tree is a 'pleomele' tropical. Its a fairly old and mature tree that I paid a pretty penny for at the local greehnouse, but it is a great center piece and a perfect chameleon tree and was the closest tropical tree I could find that truly looks like a rainforest tree. I didn't...

Hello All, I thought I would share some of the progress with my new 'open air' enclosure for the chameleons I'll be ordering in a few weeks. Its a work in progress and I'll post as I go along. Here is the base or 'pedestal' of the enclosure. It measures 61" wide by 49" deep by 20" tall. I...

Faunagirl- Although I appreciate your understanding of my situation back then, I do have to disagree with your recommended reaction towards the dog. Of course, my first gut reaction was 'G#* D#*n dog!' but my real anger and disgust was solely towards the owners of this dog. I never really...

Here's what I'm doing to keep busy. I'm building this open air enclosure (no walls of screen or glass, only a short perimeter wall to keep the chams corralled) for a harem of quadricornis or possibly a pair/trio of parsonii in the future. It will be heavily planted with a variety of tropicals...

My boys love going to the green house too, mostly because they have a huge koi pond full of fish that they can feed while Dad walks around :) . To me, its a major stress relief walking amongst the tropical plants and flowers (yes, I am a man who built his own house and builds custom cabinetry...

I know what you mean. I spent about two hours after work last night just wandering around a large green house nursery looking for the trees and tropical plants for my quads new enclosure. It was a blast and actually very relaxing. (I do this when I've had a stressful day at work;) ) I wish I...

One day, many many years ago when I was still keeping many species, my neighbor's big and crazy lab mix dug under the fence between our yards, chew 'through' the galvanized wire of one of my outdoor chameleon enclosures, and grabbed my 20", 4 year old, male veiled chameleon. I came home from...

Here's my reply to your same request on kingsnake: 'There's nothing you can do to "make sure" they eat other than providing the appropriate environment for them (size, heat, humidity, plant cover), appropriate size food source, and not stressing them out by too much direct(in their face)...

Thanks Will. I saw that ad and responded first thing this morning. I am waiting to hear back from him. I'm also very seriously considering taking a short trip over to Hamm. I've been in correspondance with a German breeder for many weeks now and have been invited to visit the show with him...

I believe that more frequent, less duration (but long enough for condensation to form on the plants), mistings is more appropriate for some chameleons as long as you have a drip system running too. If you don't have a drip, longer mistings may be necessary. I'm setting up...
