Yeah, I definitely agree on the "real is better". I'm just afraid of killing the real. I don't really have a place to keep any plants outside so whatever I have inside is about it. I saw a "pothos tree" at a store yesterday that I wouldn't mind checking out whenever he gets older and can handle...

Thanks! And no worries, there will be tons of pictures. Karen and Jeremy from the chameleon farm have been wonderful and even sending me baby picture updates! That's good to know that he won't be bothered by the metal lizard, I'd feel bad if I had to take it down or move it. I thought I had...

I do have a thermometer and hygrometer in there, maybe I just didn't get a good shot with them in it. I still have a couple of more dowels and one big decorative branch left so I could always throw those in there too I guess. I'm a little afraid of putting anymore fake vines in just because I...

My first little guy will be here in about a week or so, give or take. 2 1/2-3 month male veiled. I've built this entire thing pretty much entirely from scratch! (Biggest pain in the butt for your first ever DIY project..) Can you guys let me know if I'm forgetting to do anything? Basic...

He is definitely a cutie!

Just a thought, I always see similar statements about chameleon habitats being closer to a parrot's enclosure rather than a regular reptiles. I've had birds for years and I'm just wondering if you think a chameleon would be alright hanging out on a little bird gym? As much as I would love to...

I just posted a thread about this less than a week ago with the same issue. One of the better responses I got was to take a wooden dowel and stick it from the bottom of the enclosure (or in the plant pot) up to the top and attach vines around that way with zipties and bread ties. What I'm in...

Look up The Chameleon Farm on facebook. I've got a deposit down with them for one that they're about to send me. (male veiled) They've been super awesome and sending me pictures every week-every other week of his growth and telling me how and what he's been doing.

I'm still in the process of naming mine. So far the options in the running are: Bilbo, because my roommate and I are both under 5ft and refer to our place as the hobbit hole. Henry, just because. Derp, because chameleons are the cutest derpiest things ever. He doesn't come in...

Awesome idea! Especially since I was already planning to at least put a dowel or two in there to mix up perch size :) thanks!

I can't exactly fit those through the screen though? How do I attach anything to the walls?

I'm in the process of setting up my first enclosure and I'm running into a problem- I can't get anything to stay! It's a 24x24x48 with the bottom blocked off with panel so it's a smaller cage since it will initially be housing a 3mo male veiled. I had always seen mention of thumbtacks on...

There is a user on here named sandachameleon, look her up. Her blogs are incredibly helpful for feeding and supplementation. She also has a very detailed list of gutload items ranked from best to worst that would probably be helpful for you.

I'll be looking forward to the pics and video :) Congrats!

I can safely say you made the right decision!

Something else I should probably include: step ladder. I'm 4'10. The elephant is serving alright at the moment but I almost broke my neck using him to get the lights up there.

I finally finished construction on the cage and moved it inside my apartment! :D Right now it's only got a basking bulb, UVB bulb (reptisun 5), hygrometer, and a pothos. The bottom of the enclosure is a large piece of polycarbonate that I cut to put inside, and soon there's going to be a...

Has anyone ever tried to use like a jewelers scale? I've got an old one from forever ago and I feel like that would probably work well. Wondering if anyone has ever tried that before.

Congrats! I've got my deposit down and counting the days for mine as well. Don't burst from excitement over the next few days, wait til he gets there. He's gonna need you ;)

The filter gets changed out pretty regularly, it's just one of those things we've always done I'd never really given much thought to before. Distilled water will most likely be my cham's route though, that's all I've ever used in the past for that sort of thing.
