I had a similar idea My buddy raises rare leaf tailed and europlatus geckos. He has a slideout water tray that is attached underneath the enclosure. At the bottom of the enclosure, just above the tray, he as a honeycomb plastic screen that substrate rests upon. Any left over water falls...

I too... I too have a small pothos plant. It is broken into several fragments but in the same pot. I keep it in the base of the enclosure for now until I upgrade to a bugger enclosure. I too want to hang the pothos to have it drape down throughout the cage when it grow bigger. Another...

Enclosure Glittergloomgirl What size enclosure are your chams in? I had recently say someone with rope in their enclosures to replicate vines, would you or anyone recommend that?

Cost What is a rough estimate on how much it would cost to buid your own cage out of the materials most commonly found at Home Depot?

Beeze Beeze I love the design you have made. This is getting me motivated to make my own. I need to have another enclosure ready in about 5 months. My 2 month old veiled is growing and won't like it if he is stuck in is 18x12x24 enclosure. Now are you going to put substrate at the bottom...

gaping I thought gaping was necessary for any lizard to cool themselves. Is that correct? My veiled does almost every other day. It looks like he is yawning sometimes. I also saw him drink some water by shooting his tongue out at a pool of H2O on a leaf.

Damn Ya those are some good shots. Im envious. How did you get into macro photography? Why did you choose mantises as a subject? Are those your insects or other peoples?

suggestion I would limit his movement, that and try to keep him off of the sprained ankle. I do not know if you would increase minerals or vitamins during this type of incident. Maybe someone else can jump in. good luck

drinking I caught the cham finally shooting out his tongue at a pool of water. I had the humidity off all day. I observed my cham opening his mouth like he was yawning. He wasn't making any noises. After I misted the enclosure he shot his tongue out on a leaf. So it was pretty reassuring...

Welcome Welcome...I too recently joined this forum and recently adopted a two month or less old male, veiled chameleon. I would recommend Julirs' information and her website link to a great care sheet. I have been reading up on chams there. Also I would be interested in knowing and...

Pothos I use pothos. Actually it is the only plant I have placed in my cage. Today I want to go look for a schefflera to see if that will go well in my enclosure. I have a 2 month old veiled and is in dire need of some additional plants.

thank you Again thank you guys for the assistance. Any recommendations on timers?

Rope? How effective is that rope in your cage? That is a great idea! I wonder if the texture is bad for the chameleon's feet.

ordering I am ordering the new bulb and calcium today from LLLreptiles.

Nice I like the cage setup. What type of plants are those? I have a small pothos in my cage and hopefully it will grow bigger. As for the vitamins and minerals, I should purchase a calcium supplement without D3? Oh and my bulb that is providing UVB is a coiled 5.0 bulb. Are there round...

I should buy So I should buy Calcium without D3? and work that into the schedule? I have reduced the amount of humidity I am pumping into the cage down to just in the morning before I leave for work and then at night an hour before I turn the cage off. I will go today and pick up a better...

My temps During the day 80 - 90s, at night at least 50 - 60s. I live in NH and we are beginning our fall and winter seasons. It gets really cold here at night and really dry. I have to keep up with the humidity levels here during the day, at night, not so much. My humididty falls well below...

Agree I am fully aware of the numerous care sheets and husbandry books that are available and I have reviewed several of them; however, I joined this forum to obtain that information you are referring about. The real hard facts from people like you who have kept chameleons for years. I...

Supplies I currently have supplied my cham with one set of vines over a branch and I feel and it has been suggested that I get more plants and branches for him. Where can I get this stuff. I like the branches that you have, where did you get those? Outside or from a supplier?

Awesome That is a great site to see. Little guy came out of there fast. He is going to be a strong one. Watch out for him or her.
