This is a good resource for a home made feeding station. Chameleon academy is run by bill strand and he offers a lot of resources for chameleon husbandry.

Chams open their mouths for a few reasons They do it to thermoregulate (if they’re too hot, check temps) They do it if they’re having a hard time breathing (potential RI) RI is usually accompanied by other symptoms though. Popping noise while breathing, excess saliva, nose pointed up while...

Also if you check the site sponsor list, Light your reptiles are a great vendor for the lighting you need.

Coming from someone who’s bought a Cham on impulse without knowing their needs I empathize with your situation, this form will point you in the right direction. I’d give you an order of operations of what I’d focus on starting from square one. -you have an 18x18x36 cage, I’d upgrade to a 2x2x4...

Touching on number 3: I’ll give you my lived experience, my life has gotten a lot easier since programming a mister for my Cham, and it’s less stressful for both of us when the hydration cycle is automated. They do take just a bit to set up but with some planning it is not too bad. They are a...

I dropped in to say two things -chameleons will act in whatever way confuses their owners the most at our expense -and I like your enclosure, well done.

Happy guy likes the plants

Someone here said swap substrate in planters out for ABG mix for soil I’m trying that out for my own issue with them (Also outside the cage if you have fruit flies, a little apple cider vinegar in an open container with a few drops of dish soap is a diy home trap that works perfectly)

*7 months later* We kept the basic structure the same I altered the front hardscape and added a new money tree today, I swapped all my substrate for ABG as I was having soil compaction issues and my pothos looked so sad before I swapped it out with this fresh planter We’ll see how it goes...

This custom build looks beautiful Well done

https://spyderrobotics.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25 For your purposes you should only need the base model - still a bit pricy but the peace of mind it buys is amazing. Like Beman says, it has an input for your heat source and a probe that measures output So you find a...

More important question: what kind of music do you think your chameleons vibe to? I know they more so rely on vibration over sound so I’m guessing deep bass music

Just feel the need to chime in here: @Beman pointed me in the direction of a herpstat and it’s been a huge peace of mind thing for me. You don’t need a dimmable heat dome to use, it’ll pulse power to your heat supply to maintain a target temperature allowing you to provide an optimal basking...

Big branch 🤣 Big branch took some money from me when I was building a cage in the winter when outdoor temps and snowfall made scavenging not viable, but the ghostwood looks lovely and once my top canopy fills out it’ll look incredible
