Still searching for a live plant
Hello all.
I'll be getting a new chameleon in another week or so and I'm still trying to get this enclosure ready.
I'm looking for a schefflera abroricola (dwarf umbrella) or a ficus (alii) plant/tree around 2 1/2" to 3' tall. I have shopped all local...
rain dome
Hey Restricted E did you get your quad light yet?
I am considering the rain dome myself.
I believe most use the .9 tip (still larger than a mist king tip iirc).
Extra dome? I guess that could be for another cage or to double up on one cage (now where do all the lights go?)..

It seems the pot itself would take up a lot of space at the bottom of the enclosure.
The cage (minus the legs) is about 47" tall.
Is all fake plants not healthy...
trying to attach pics
Here are the gaps I was asking about. Sorry their sideways.
Like I said anywhere from 1/4" to 5/16"
Does anybody see a problem?
Thanks.
Hello all.
I had some left over material from a fence job I did so I decided to use it up and get it out of the way instead of buying a new chameleon cage.
I built the cage over the weekend. It's built with 3/4" aluminum tubing and pvc coated hardware cloth (1/2" x 1/2").
It's...
