Yeah, I've been all over dendroboard looking at how to do it. I think it's possible! It should be hellishly good if it works out! Might have a go trialing it this weekend!

For sale is an amazing custom reptile enclosure that I built back in 2006 that can be converted between a small monitor/gecko cage to a large chameleon enclosure. I am moving out of state and am considering parting with this unit rather than taking it with me. I have over $1300.00 invested in...

This is just my own opinion and not a critique of your idea, but if I was going to cover a large part of my cham's cage with something I would prefer getting a large laminated background print of tropical foliage or forest instead of a rock wall. After all, chams are not terrestrial or rock...

I know terrarium designers and builders create backdrops like this and I think they use various types of expanding spray foam (Great Stuff or some such stuff) to mold the roots. Then before it sets they etch, mold, and press bits of bark etc. into the surface. Some web browsing on terrarium...

Dont ask! haha. No but really, around $650. There are so many things you need to get that you don't think about. Just the wood cork tile backdrop alone was $130. there are two uv light fixtures, 18" and 49" and 5 dome lamps on top. 2 regular colored for basking and 3 red and black ones that...

...and one more thing, well two actually. Forgot to mention it is a veil, and as for the reflections on the glass would anyone recommend using backdrops on the glass parts of the aquarium? It has not seemed to be much of a problem so far, but I obviously cannot just ask her if she doesn't like...

That backdrop is awesome! Where'd you get it? And yeah, calcium w/o d3 every other day is good. Beautiful chameleon btw. If you are unsure whether or not it's a boy/girl, look for tarsal spurs (little bumps on the back ankles, almost a stubby 3rd toe).

Leave it to you to point out the obvious that everyone else has overlooked! I really like your idea about the forest theme background. We used to actually sell underwater and forest scene backgrounds specifically designed for terrariums and aquariums and I would guess they still do. I used...

Should I have some sort of bakdrop for my cham's house? I have a Repti breeze enclosure and don't want to interfear with the air flow but I'm not sure if the plain white wall behind it is detrimental to the well being of my cham psyche as it is with other reptiles and amphibians. I would like to...

Dr. Jan Stipala is a well known biologist at the University of Exeter. He has written several scientific papers on chameleons and is also the author of the new book Mountain Dragons. Thank you, Dr. Stipala, for taking the time to answer these interview questions for our community. Everyone at...

Repticon is thrilled to announce that the FIRExpo 2011 has found a new home, The Doubletree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando, known to reptile expo veterans as "The Twin Towers!" This fantastic venue offers a world-class exhibit hall, the Universal Center, as well as top quality...

OK...so things were going well with my new Cham until I decided to add new artificial vines/leaves to the top and sides Sunday PM. The are very leafy and life-like and my whole idea was to make a backdrop to catch mist from my MistKing and provide additional drops of water for RANGO. From day...

The spongerock is not styrofoam, but is known as "Perlite" and is used in potting soil mixes due to it's ability to hold air and water for plants roots and growth. But the stuff is made from volcanic rock, so that can't be good for his digestion. As to his food supply, he's regularly fed...

Hi Tommy - One thing I fogot is that you'd mentioned decorating the back of the cage and I agree, asthetically it looks better and one of the added benefits is that you can provide more areas for your chameleon to explore and hide in. If you look at the pictures of Rico's setup I took some...

...Here is a link of how my friend Rob builds backdrops. Granted this is for Tarantula enclosures, but this concept will work if you tweak it a bit for chameleons. Also, Rob builds huge versions for tons of Zoos in the US. This backdrop blows away exoterra's backdrops. This is cheap and easy...

That should work out fine, but make sure it gets cleaned out a lot! As for the substrate (not trying to sound mean or rude or anything) BUT TAKE IT OUT! This causes impaction even though they have it in the wild, and if you have a feeding cup for him doesn't mean he won't ingest it. This can...

After a small nights rest and a long days nap, and not getting struck by lightning today... Heres what i came up with. Lights will be coming during the week, when i get paid. The top soil in the plants will be covered with large rocks and moved around a bit. Im satisfied with it. Im...

I keep the little bowl there to create more splashes so that he is drawn to this area. The water also drips off of this rock from two or three sides creating more moving water. The amount of water that runs through it keeps it from becoming stale. I also plan on changing it once or twice a...

Very healthy looking! They are very healthy looking in addition to being super cute. That Phalenopsis orchid or a gorgeous backdrop for the photos. I used to be an Orchid addict in a previous lifetime (different husband who banned reptiles from the house). Nice names too!

Well now that is about the chameleon's only defense is it's price tag. If it weren't for that, can you imagine how many would perish. I actually saw my very first chameleon in a pet store. It was beautiful. The cage was built into the wall and it had a painted backdrop behind it. It was...
